Ask a Jew anything.

What if a pig is brought up in a palace, never coming into contact with dirt in it's entire life, while being fed proper qiality food instead of old leftovers shit and dirt, having it's waste immediately disposed of so it wouldn't come into further contact with it. Would this pig be kosher?

Now that you're back, you can proceed with answering out questions, Yaakov.

*GRIN* No, said beast would not be kosher, because it still does not have split hooves or chew the cud.

Fine. A more serious question which I probably could look up the answer to, but I'm too lasy.
Why did the Israelites go to Egypt?

Yaakov ben Avraham · « **Reply #1864 on:** March 19, 2015, 11:16:50 AM »

Originally, Joseph, son of Jacob, was sold into slavery by his brothers. He rose to power there and became Grand Vizier. When the period of famine came, Jacob and his family ended up going to Egypt at Pharaoh's invitation to live and prosper there in the Land of Goshen. This you can read about in the last 12 or 15 chapters of Genesis. And Exodus of course, begins with verse 8 of the 1st chapter saying "and there arose a in Egypt a Pharaoh who did not know Joseph."

That is when they were made slaves.

And God just stood there and allowed his chosen people become slaves. What a dick.

Many of us would argue that there was a motive behind it. I mean, with people like Mr. Bickles to deal with, its probably a good idea to get used to that kind of thing quickly, no?

don't go confusing your-self with the Old Testament patriarchs;
you're not fit to be their door-mat!
and....you have no relation to them any-way.....nor can you (or any so-called 'jew' alive today, for that matter) prove such...seeing as how all the genealogy records were destroyed when the Second Temple fell;
chances are, you're a Khazar ;
i'm more "in tune" with the British Israel/lost tribes thesis than having to listen to the likes of you saying you're "God's chosen"......the only entity that's 'chosen' the likes of you is the Devil!

DNA testing proves you wrong of course. But keep it up. I like reporting you to Administration for insults in the upper fora.

Please stop abusing the report feature. I do not like having my email inbox getting cluttered by that.

Thanks.

I will report him every single time he insults me.

I'll just tell it to you straight, you're insulting him much more than he is insulting you. Cut it out, cease with the report spam, or you get a 2 month ban.

Yes, it is. Unfortunately for Yaakov, calling him a "jew" when he is one does not count as a personal insult.

I especially liked the report regarding a quote edited to be insulting, when the original quote by him was already insulting. I'm pretty sure Yaakov thinks he can get mister bickles banned by report spamming like he did on Daniel's FES. Too bad our moderation isn't quite that incompetent.

Yaakov ben Avraham · « **Reply #1874 on:** March 19, 2015, 12:22:45 PM »

Explain to me, honestly, how I am insulting him. Now you have me curious. I'll control using the report feature. Fair enough. But I would like an explanation.

Rushy · « **Reply #1875 on:** March 19, 2015, 08:36:51 PM »

Yaakov, what do you think about the more recent studies in Egypt indicating that the Egyptians didn't use slave labor and actually had paid farmers work the pyramids when the growing season was done?

jroa · « **Reply #1876 on:** March 24, 2015, 04:44:21 PM »

I don't think Yaakov claimed that the Jews built the pyramids.

If only Yaakov were here... then we'd be able to ask him...

If Christians came from Jews, then why are there still Jews?
