Orthodox Jews have no rules against non Jew visiting their synagogues, just cover your head and you are , if not welcome, allowed in. " Zeev, you can tell that to Gus, but I am sure you yourself don't believe it! It depends which Orthodox! ggg Sometimes they are Maschugaim!!" I meet them and some are normal and some are not! Few years ago they throw stone at Dalai Lama that was visting the Wall as the official guest of Israeli Government! On that I was ashamed to be a Jew. some of these idiots push it too far! I am Sarad, and I know plenty of practicing Safrad that live a normal life and don't go arround trying to convert the others. Then you have Lubovitchers that were pusing there ways to Tel Aviv airforce and forcing passangers to prey until they were banned!
""A Jew is not supposed to solicit the conversion of others either. "" Yes, but it has not always been the case! We did procilize in North Africa and in Khazaria! They are not Kuzari, they were Turkic people, mostly Kumans, Bulgars, and Plovotsi living on the banks of Volga. (The waord Khazar then was applied to the Caspian Sea!) Their aristocracy was converted to Judism, but there they lived and traded ByZintines that came from the Balck Sea, the Perisans and Arabs that came up from Derbent and Vikings that sailed from Valdai Hills down the Don and then volga to Astrakahn to rob and trade! Some of these Vikings were converted and their decnedents are mountain Jews called Kevsurs, living in the Georgian Highlands! |
