So I just spent the past 3 1/2 hours working on a powerpoint presentation that covered Judaism that was supposed to be geared towards children ages 9-14. Personally for me, if I was a child that age I would find it a bit overwhelming considering all the information I was suppose to go over. It was a bit ridiculous and I’m glad it’s over. I honestly wonder where they get the idea that assignments like these make sense to do, because honestly if I was that age my first thought would be, and I care why? So yes, apologies to anyone who has to be inflicted with the crappy assignment that they gave me.
Thankfully, I have my own resident Jew who was able to give me a bit more detailed information that was not found in the text! Instead of having to look up additional information, I merely had to IM Hillary and she was able to tell me what I needed to know. Speaking of Judaism, I would make a terrible Jew. No, I am not kidding. I am sorry but for me to be considered unclean during my menstrual period and unable to have sex with Robby for 7 days after my period, that just would not fly. I would have HUGE issues with that, though come to think of it, he would too, lol.
In any event for those who really practice Judaism to its fullest, kudos to you for having that type of commitment. It still baffles me that there are actually people who live that way but then I suppose if you were raised in that manner, anything else would seem alien, so maybe it’s just really an outsider looking in thinking that it is absolutely, positively crazy. Okay, yeah that’s exactly what it is, but that’s beside the point, especially when my resident Jew, feels the same as I do.

Haha you could be Jewish and just not follow that – as I said the only people who follow that rule of no sex for 2 weeks are ultra religious. Most Jewish people are not ultra religious by any means – the orthodox are a minority within a minority
Actually many Jewish people even understanding the laws and the rules still see it as alien.
But seriously definitely kudos to the orthodox who do follow that rule among others I couldn’t do (i.e. not touching anyone of the opposite sex before marriage).
