Zebra, no, castration is considered mutilation of the body, and that is strictly forbidden, to Jews, now, it is a good question if it is allowed before he converts to Judaism, since at that point he is not a Jew yet. I'll have to look into the scriptures for enlightement on this one. But in a more serious venue, Emile needs "circumcision of the Mind" before he can be accepted as a Guer. He must want to become a Jew and receive salvation during his lifetime rather than after death, with all his heart. He must perform Tariag Mitzvoth, and learn the basic tenet of Judaism: "Thou shall love your brother as you love yourself", the rest are nothing but commentaries on this sole subject. Then and only then he can be accepted into the "kabal" he so envies. Only after that he can be granted the physical circumcision that comes accompanied with some trivial physical pains, only after his mind has undergone the much greater mental pains of recognizing the years he has spent in the darkness of something in the "neverland" between monotheism and paganism. Pantheism he'll have to leave for his reincarnation, in this life I doubt he can rise to those "high spheres". Certainly not with the mental burning cross on his lawn. Zeev
