Re: Ask The Rabbi!!
Great thread idea!!
This question always perplexed me and now I have a way to "Ask The Rabbi"! If God's name isn't "God", then why do Jews often (in writing) censor the word and keep it at "G-d"? I understand that it comes from not uttering His name but always wondered why, when after all, it's not His name..:confused: Thanks in advance! :tu |

Nice question, one that is frequently asked. Jewish people refrain from calling G-d by His Name. He is alluded to many times in the Torah by different names, each of which only allude to an attribute of G-d. G-d is indefineable by a name, but when we refer to Him through our capacity of speech it should be with the highest reverence. Especially when referring to Him directly. G-t, is yiddish, and german for G-d. G-d is a derivation from that. When one says G-d, or G-t, they are directly referring to G-d, so even though it is not his name, it is a direct reference. Most observant Jews refer to G-d as HaShem (hebrew), "The Name" or Aibishster (yiddish) "the Most High", thereby referring to G-d in an indirect way, but implicitly referring to Him. In prayer & reading the Torah only, we refer to G-d by His Holy Name(s) |

1) I would give you constructive critisicm in a manner in which you can receive it about you singing capabilities. 2) No I wouldn't walk out on you, cause you can only get by with a little help from your friends. Lending you an ear is very Van Gogh. Thank you for your consideratin in trying NOT to sind out of key. Any further questions famous musicians have, that you plagiarize as your own questions should be condensed into one post, preferably, and I will get around to them.:D Hope this helps. |

Sometimes used informally to refer to any act of goodness and kindness. Mitzvah (hebrew) has it's root in the word Tzvazah (hebrew) - meaning connection in Hebrew, so by doing a Mitzvah you are connecting yourself to G-d. |

Are concubines still permitted?

Re: Ask The Rabbi!!

To be brief, the Jewish/Torah's definition of a concubine is very different than the way the term is used today. |

Re: Ask The Rabbi!!
What does it mean to you, to be a "good jew"? I consider myself a good person, but i'm not sure if i'm a "good jew" because I don't follow Kashrut, I eat things that i'm not "supposed" to, etc. I'm only a 3 day a year Jew sometimes.nI am Jewish, but don't know what the qualifications for a "good jew" are. I've had a bar mitzvah, and went to hebrew school growing up, and took yeshiva track. I also think no matter what the answer is, it could be interpreted subjectively, but i'd like your opinion.
