My thoughts regarding what you wrote are as follows.. First, I do not understand exactly why the Orthodox have decided about the manner of eating chicken a certain way, however, seems to me that they had room to re-consider a detail within a law that means \"Kosher\".  It could be that we find an absence of discussions and/or commentaries on the issue of  \"man lying with man, or woman with woman\"  because there is no such reason for discussing, adding, or changing details on an issue that is non-kosher/ forbidden to begin with?

AddReply(213790,"To Tamar - last TB on this thread.","sk","USA","06/28/07","I wrote a detailed response that was (I\'m sure by mistake) not posted.  I am not motivated to repeat it all.  Some highlights.  Torah, in the Orthodox sense, is a vast literature; it is not a \"blueprint\" or a \"guidebook\" (Michelin? Fodors?)  Successive centuries have elaborated a short, sweet 5-book set, sometimes in curious ways (e.g. chicken being called a \"meat\" for the purposes of meat/dairy).  The Talmud tells us that authorities should be able to purify a reptile, meaning that Torah is tough stuff.  The scantiness of the argumentation regarding man-on-man action indicates not that the prohibition is \"obvious\" but that it hasn\'t been properly mooted.\n\nYou are an end user, Tamar.  You are willing to accept the formulations that you have learned by rote.  I am not.  Until I see a vigorous attempt to purify homosexuality that ultimately fails, I will assume that prejudice and not learning is responsible for the Orthodox position.\n\nOh, and quips about children and doggies not being safe from gay people are certainly not chesid material.  And, when Ovadia Yosef called Jewish pride marchers \"Canaanites\" last year, he left no doubt that real Jews were to be harmed.  Yes, I do call that hate. ");

AddReply(213650,"Back to Tamar, one last time.","sk","USA","06/27/07","Tamar, as we both know, the Orthodox view of \"Torah\" is that it only begins with the Pentateuch (which I\'ve read more than once) and extends to comprise the rest of the Tanakh (which I have read), the commentaries, and the commentaries on the commentaries.  Torah is not a \"blueprint\" in any conventional sense.  I do not think I am being bold in saying that not a single mark or collection of marks of the Pentateuch has a fixed meaning or can be read in isolation.  So, when you trot out a couple passages from Leviticus, including the dubious English translation \"abomination,\" I wonder about the depth of your own study.  We would not need rooms full  of analyses if things were as simple as you believe them to be.  For example, is chicken a \"meat\" that cannot be eaten with dairy?  Well, the plain meaning of Lev. is \"no,\" as it cannot be boiled in its mother\'s milk.  But Halakha says \"yes.\"\n\nI do not use the word \"hate\" anywhere.  Please do not put words into my mouth.  However, when you suggest that your doggie and kids are not safe around the likes of me, that is certainly unkind and indeed speaking evil of a fellow Jew, which is even worse when it has no factual justification.  I also think you are substitute \"ought\" for \"is\" when you say that the counterdemonstrators have no hatred for gays.  They ought not, but it\'s pretty clear that some do.  Human beings do not crisply separate actions from the people who do them.  Skip Torah and read any basic psychology text for proof.\n\nFinally, a simple question:  given that high Halakhic authorities should be able to purify a reptile, where in Torah (including the commentaries) has man-on-man action been extensively argued about?  If, as I think, the answer is \"nowhere\" the reasonable inference is that the authorities have not done their job on these two passages of Lev.  In other words, absence of argument does not mean there is no argument to be made but simply that argumentation is urgently required.");
AddReply(213571,"To SK, #21","Tamar","Bet El","06/27/07","SK, my brother, the TORAH tells us what to do.  G-d gave this guide book to us at Mt. Sinai so we would know what is right, what is wrong, how to live our lives, be a holy nation, and make this world a better place. Perhaps you should read it, and keep reading it - preferably with a loving chabad rabbi, or any other orthodox rabbi.  A frum Jew loves all Jews, and will be happy to sit with you and show you where exactly G-d speaks about this lifestyle, and how damaging it is.  I also want you to understand that the only person who speaks of hate, is you.  No one hates you or the marchers, what people can\'t agree to is parading \'sexual promiscuity\' including sodomy, to the public.   The MARCHERS MAKE it our business, when they push it on us. Please, go and study Torah, the blue prints of life and creation.  All the wisdom is there. Read it before you decide if you want to keep hashing this out.

I guess you disagree with a comment in the Talmud that for someone to be a judge in the Sanhedrin he should be able to purify a reptile.  We do not know what the Creator really wants; we have to discern it through argument.  Some of that argumentation already exists; some needs to be built.  Extant readings of particular passages may or may not weather scrutiny well; it\'s time for this passage to be scrutinized from outside the shtetl.\n\nOh, and about my \"threat\":  it gains force only in proportion to your irrational bigotry regarding gay people.

I was once severely tempted to be gay. But I was fortunate in that I realized that I was under spiritual attack.

AddReply(212441,"Thank you, Tamar!","Eric","USA","06/22/07","While I too am depressed (and angry) that the shame parade (aptly titled by the way) occured, I am also feeling envigorated that so few homosexual supporters showed up. That has to make an impact upon G-d and how He decides to judge Jews in Israel.\n\nAnd because you challenged Noa and several of the police standing by, and because of the numbers of anti-homosexual statements some Jews were willing to make stating what G-d states that homosex is ABOMINATION, G-d may decide to not judge Israel as severely as He has planned.\n\nI need to warn you though, that judgement is still coming. But because the efforts of men and women like you, G-d will curb His distaste for the general lack of Hashem-love amongst His own people. What G-d would have had to do if there was no public outcry against this abominable atrocity infecting Jewry, would have been large-scale destruction of the land that He loves. It is a serious thing for G-d to place His name in a city. But Jerusalem is that city. The city that G-d calls His own. The city that G-d loves. The city that is holy to Hashem. The city that is Holy to God.\n\nThe homosexuals will not stop with this momentary defeat of their longed for agenda: public acceptance and validation for the sin. We all sin, but what separates the homosexual sinner from the heterosexual sinner is that heterosexuals are not parading their sin, their spiritual sickness, their filthy stench for all to see and embrace. And we\'re certainly not PROUD of it! Homosexuals, on the other hand, are. Herein is the important distinction between both groups which both sin. One is proud of their sin and refuses to confess it and ask for G-d\'s help, while the other admits their sin and does ask for G-d\'s help. The latter can be helped, but the former cannot. They cannot because they will not. They will die in their sin, so foolishly, because they could have been freed from their abominable debauchery, but pride, foolish pride keeps them from the help G-d offers them.");

What is there to be proud about? I think that the paraders should be helped - i think emotionally and psychologically (i dont say that to be mean, or even suggest they crazy- they are far from that) - becuase I think that homosexuality is a confusion of one\'s role, identity - Something must have sparked or contriubted (while growing up) to that destructive *decision to lead one\'s life that way- I feel that the source of the problem (homosexuality) should be addressed - but also with an understanding and helping hand- You know what I mean? I think when people try to help , reach out to those in that decaying, abominable and hurtful (to others and themselves) lifestyle *choice -we have to be proactive and try to understand where and why they have chosen to lead their lifes that painful way.... I feel and believe that  until people start addressing the why\'s and causation \nof that lifestyle and try to be of brotherly and sisterly aid ( you know, be *genuine role models of \na Man and Woman) to those trapped in that destructive, hurtful and painful *choice - nothing is going to get better and things, G-d forbid, will continue to deriorate.... I hope, wish and pray that those caught in that *choice may give it a second thought and seek help - and that those that find it abominable and destructive *choice- come to the rescuce and aid of those *willing to repent of that painful *choice to lead thier lives in that destructive, hurtful and painful *choice  that is - homosexuality....\n\nG-d bless you all  Jerusalem, Israel and friends,\n\nTrying to honest,\n\nSincerely,\n\nEdward Francisco Villa");
