#13: The Market Has Spoken
So, fun fact: a Judaica store in Berkeley called Afikomen Judaica actually clipped this strip out of the paper and taped it up in their mezuzah section in the store! They even sent me a photo of it, which was very nice of them. If you’re in the Bay Area and looking for a deal on some Sabbath candles, check ’em out.
Oh yeah, and as Krulle correctly pointed out in my last update, I did not clarify this particular obscurity for Gentiles and I do apologize for that; a “mezuzah” is basically a little compartment usually made of metal, wood or ceramic that contains a small prayer that’s attached to the doorframe. We do this because we are instructed to not only take the words of God to heart, but to “inscribe them on (our) doorposts and our gates.” So . . . we do!
Yeah, I’m not Jewish, so many of “your” traditions I don’t know about, nor do I know that they’re actually Jewish traditions.
God, I wish those stupid people living here in the first third of last century would not have driven “you” away from these parts of Europe.
We will have to live with the shame forever, and we’re already starting to do the same fault again, with the slight difference that the majority of Muslims living here are “recent” immigrants, whereas the Jeiwsh “back then” often have been good neighbours for centuries before someone saw more “differences” than “similarities”.
God, I hate the short memory of humanity.
We Christians have been drivien away by the state back in late-Roman times.
How could we have done the same to our friends, who are so similar in their beliefs?
