Neat idea.  It also allows us to add another song to our repertoire:

Hag urim, Hag urim
Hag gadol hu la'yehudim
sufganiot, s'vivonim

  Actually, there is an analogous practice in Orthodox circles--the
  siyum/seudat mitzva.

  Upon completing study of a text, the person (or the study partners)
  will host a meal at which the last part of the text is formally
  studied, out loud of course, and perhaps amplified by other
  participants.

  I suspect that this practice is not so well known among the liberal
  streams, but it could easily be adapted to the situations now covered
  by adult bar mitzvas. It also has the advantage that you are not
  limited to one...

No, you are wrong.  I understood exactly the reply you sent--and MY REPLY
still stands.  Morning news is that Israel is trying to expel about 700 of
the murderers, but probably won't since the WORLD will probably object. 
Never heard much objections when Hussein (Jordon) murdered and expelled
Palestinians, or when they were not accepted by any other Arab nation
(where they are still living in squallor after 50 years). I don't think
that Egypt would take back the Gaza if Israel asked them to do so. Do I
sound bitter?

You're analogy to the U.S. citizenship process brings up the old question,
which is really at the heart of the matter. Judaism has a dual nature: it is
both a "nation" and a "religion". Could there be different procedures for
becoming one who believe in the religion, as opposed to a member of the
nation? For example, there are those who do not believe in the religion who
remain members of the nation: Atheists born of a jewish mother are considered
Jewish. There are obviously those who believe in the religion who are not
viewed by some as part of the nation. So it may be this distinction that
dictates the drawing line.

Soviets, forge documents and lie, NEVER!:)

Regardless, it has been argued that the execution of the Rosenbergs' was
illegal as according to the law, one can only be executed for treason in
times of war (or was it for treason committed during war), the US was not
at war with the USSR at the time of the trial or the alleged crime. I'm
not sure about the timing of the Korean War but in any case, the Rosenbergs'
were not accused of treason on behalf of North Korea.

There is nothing dishonet about questioning one's beliefs in the
face of sexism (As I understand Maddy did). It is, however, inconsistent
to state that one rejects sexism just because he/she happens to 
feel like it today, and at the same time to criticize religious 
persons for being sexist because THEY feel God commanded them to do it.
If one accepts feeling as a basis for morality, then anyone's feelings 
are equally valid.

Note to Yaron London: If you happen to read this, please don't
conclude that I am claiming that God is an atheist...

several years ago i saw for the first and only time in my life, a kippah
where the entire base was a picture, not just a strip along the edge( this
is crocheted, not painted) This one was an indian bonnet, with the face on
one side and the feathers extending across to the other side. i imagine
that this was incredibly hard to design and knit, but it was amazing
looking. does anyone know anything about this type of design?
