...The Jews (, Yehudim), also known as the Jewish people, are an ethnoreligious group originating in the Israelites or Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.[1] "The Jewish Problem: How To Solve It," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, "Jews are a distinctive nationality of which every Jew, whatever his country, his station or shade of belief, is necessarily a member" (April 25, 1915), University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law, Retrieved on June 15, 2009[2] Palmer, Henry, A History of the Jewish Nation (1875), D. Lothrop & Co., Retrieved on June 15, 2009[3] "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Vol. 7: Berlin Years," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, "The Jewish Nation is a living fact" (June 21, 1921), Princeton University Press, Retrieved on June 15, 2009 Converts to Judaism, whose status as Jews within the Jewish ethnos is equal to those born into it, have been absorbed into the Jewish people throughout the millennia.

I'd have to say it depends where you are in the UK, by all accounts. I'm in rural north England and part of what makes it easy is that most people don't know anything about any group/community of Jews and don't even recognise that I am one! On the whole, our relative invisibility (we're a much smaller percentage of the population than in the US) can be an advantage, although of course it's also hard that our festivals and dietary requirements aren't recognised by most of the population, whereas in the US most people know something about these, even if they have a prejudiced view. You're right, there are loads of reasons why it's hard, and more difficult to find positives/things that are easy. I was thinking about the profile of some famous/well-respected Jews and realised that anti-semitism creeps in to how people are viewed. I do think that one thing that helps to make it, if not easy, at least better than it might be in the US and some other cultures, is that there is still a tendency to avoid issues of religion. It's sort of not really on to talk about religion in many contexts, although over the last 10 years, it's come back to the forefront more. Even so, that British attitude of not talking about anything controversial does probably protect us a bit. We make a nod towards the Church of England as the established church, but somehow we don't ever really express religious views much and it's "not quite nice" to do so. We feel religion should be kept out of politics (despite Christian prayers at the start of the day in Parliament) and school (despite assemblies of a 'broadly Christian nature'). Most of us aren't very upfront about our religion other than when we're with people we know are like-minded. One can criticise this, but it does make life easier in some respects. Just to add to the hard list - once you're outside London and the south-east, the paucity of other Jews means it's hard to find a synagogue within easy reach. Finding kosher food or the Jewish Chronicle becomes - if not impossible - somewhat difficult. And Jewish festivals aren't recognised and although in my last employed job I did manage to take Yom Kippur, I didn't feel I could take other festivals - it would have looked like 'skiving'. I wouldn't have the option of working on Christian festivals - everything shuts. Ah well, sorry I can't think of more 'easy' things. |

Once a Jew leaves Judaism, they are no longer part of the Jewish community or people. They may not be members fo a Jewish community, take part in any Jewish religious celebrations, receive any honours in a synagogues, participate in any religious activities or be involved in the community in any capacity whatsoever. If they wish to return, it is simple- they simply need to repent and return, but until they do so, they are outside of the community- and if they die before they do so, then they are not buried ina jewish cemetary or mourned as a Jew |

What is the best way to I am tearing down a section of
my house and remodeling and I
will need to transplant a lot
of dark purple wandering jew,
gaillardria and mexican
sunflowers from right next to
the house. I want to keep them
healthy so they can be
replanted after the building
is done. These are very
extablished plants planted by
the former owner over the last
50 years. They are really
deeply colored and I don't
want to loose them.
It is summer in Phoenix, so I
want to do this without
shocking them.

wandering jew...make cuttings from existing plant, and just plant it - water it...this plant takes off like a weed...you don't need to root or anything. the others, you will need to cut and place in water to root - then plant. make sure you water them every day in the heat and mist them also. i live in san diego...not as hot as you, but we have been having heat lately...i water mine every day and mist a few times a day. good luck :) |
