> I think that's where you find that Jews have to keep kosher; that Jewish kids need to go thru bar mitzvah; how a wife and husband are to treat each other etc. Actually, a lot of that stuff comes from the Old Testament, and the Talmud just "interprets" it. It's a really, really huge document -- 63 books of oversized pages with really small text with information and arguments from thousands of people -- it's in debate form. Emile's probably right -- there probably is a rabbi out of the thousands in there that said really negative stuff about how Jews should treat non-Jews. However, what he doesn't say is that in most of those cases, there probably are a dozen other rabbis in the same context that refute the statement. I've only seen (or had interpreted for me, I'm not much with Aramaic) a page or two of it, but it's really minute stuff, like (I'm not kidding): Q: If you find a fig on the ground, should you try to return it to its rightful owner? A: Yes A: No A: Well, depends how large it is. A: No, but if it were a date, you'd have to return it. Then again, Rabbi so-and-so says... and so on. Crazy stuff. -Z
