Three Questions:
1. Do you eat cheeseburgers.
2. Where do you think the lost 10 tribes wound up?
3. If the original temple rituals as prescribed by Deuteronomy began with Moses' portable Tabernacle, why can't the Temple be rebuilt in this fashion? The Tabernacle, as far as I know, never rested atop Mt. Moriah.The Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

2a. I once took a course in biblical archaelogy with a guy who had dug at Ekron, in Philistia. Apparently at the time of the Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom, when Philistia was also under Assyrian rule, there was an influx of folks who seemed to have Israelite customs, like not eating pig. From this he concluded that the ten tribes were sent to other areas under Assyrian rule (already known) and that at least one of the areas was not far away, Philistia. Whether they retained their idenity long enough to mix back into the Judean population when when it achieved its maximal expansion under the Hasmoneans, or whether they assimilated in the gentile population of philistia, I dont know. 2b. Genetic connections between modern Jews and Kurds, would suggest that Kurdistan was one of the places that the Assyrians sent members of the 10 tribes. The Kurds, unlike some other folks, dont claim such a connection. I consider it more realistic than similar claims wrt Pashtuns, Native americans, or anyone else, for that matter.
3. Im really not an expert on the halacha relating to the place of sacrifice. IIUC the tabernacle was considered a temporary expedient, and once the Temple was built, that was to be the place forever. I dont have any textual cites, however, either from the bible, or from the rabbinic literature."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

can you solve this
t=(x+(s*w*l))/(s*y)/(9/(w(1+e+r+o)
minimize the value of T
when
x = 1000
l=120
y=90
e=.5
r=.5
o=0
c=(w(1+e+r+o)
round all decimals of c up
w and s are user defined variables
w>=1 s>=1 and can only be whole numbers
t=(1000+(s*w*120)/((s*90)/(9/(w(1+.5+.5))))
minimize T while finding its relationship between s and w

It should perhaps be pointed out here than Kurdistan overlaps with the core Assyrian territory around Assur and Nineveh. I dunno if Assyrian recorred specifically mentions any Israelites being settled here, but it's known that deportees from other conquered countries, eg. Egypt, were.Originally posted by lord of the mark 2b.

it looks like it should be easy, once you simplify, but to simplify Id have to go get a paper and pencil, to make sure I dont get the multiplications and divisions hopelessly mixed up, and Im not in the mood to do that now.Originally posted by MRT144

Where can I find a nice jewish boy who cooks really well and likes quirky biochemists?Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

I was a Millsian in my youth. I still think advancing the "good" is part of doing right. The Human Race is good. It creates beauty, knowledge, freedom, and other goods. The world would be a lesser place without the human race.Originally posted by Lul Thyme
From an ethics point of view?
I just have never tought of it that way.
What kind of ethical basis would you use to defend the preservation of the human race?
Again, maybe Im old fashioned, or being too Jewish, in assuming the existence of the human race a positive good, and actions to maintain it ethical per se."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Ive never played any, and couldnt judge. I merely like to point out interesting facts ive learned about them. Sometimes at the risk of making a fool of myself. Esp when it provides an opportunity to challenge one or another of the more obnoxious fans of one of the said platforms.

the book is called a hagaddah. Sounds like they werent having an "atheist seder" they were just some atheists having a generic seder, for whatever cultural reasons.Originally posted by Jon Miller
Well, we read through a little book, which had a lot of biblical stuff in it (sometimes responsively, sometimes not). I gather that recently they have done more than they did in past years.
I think that the family considered it just culturally though (the grandparents are metaphysicists, the mother I am not sure, the daughter is an atheist).

LotM, is it good to follow the old 1950's advice of only drinking red wine with red meats & white wine with white meats or should I just drink what I like with my meal?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
