   I find PAndy's assertive proof methodology amusing, to say the least.
          ^
Come off this silliness already.
   The word "Goy" comes from the Hebrew word "goy" (duh) which means
   "nation" (or "people").  There is nothing intrinsically negative about
   this.  In fact, when modified (something that can also be done), it can
   mean a variety of things (Goy Kadosh - a holy people - springs to mind;
   hardly negative).

Well, this cuts both ways (as regards the term "anti-semitism",
specifically).  The canonical definition of "anti-semitism" is prejudice
against Jews, just as the canonical definition of "goy" IN ENGLISH is
non-Jew, usually with a negative connotation.  As the Random House
dictionary states:

goy (goy; goi) n., pl. goy im(goi im), goys. Often Disparaging. 
        C4: Often Disparaging.
1 n.
        a non - Jewish person; gentile.
        goi. 
Etymology:
        <x4> Yiddish <x4> Heb goi people, non - Jews
Derived:
        goyish (adj.)

Does this paragraph look familiar?  That's probably because Serdar has
posted it God-knows how many times.  Apparently he doesn't have much
evidence, so he keeps wuoting the same things.  Serdar still refuses to
admit that the Ottomans killed approximately one million Armenians
toward the end of World War I.  Remember -- Azerbaijan was awarded the
Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as Nakhichevan.  Those
who don't like the idea of Armenia's owning an enclave completely
within Azerbaijan should remember Nakhichevan.  They should also
remember that Armenia was screwed over in this regard -- why was
Azerbaijan awarded both enclaves.

This is not to say that Armenia should be awarded Nagorno-Karabakh,
though.  The territorial boundaries must not change, but Armenians
should be given equal rights, which IMO they are not.

I am not convinced that the existence of the state of Israel is good for
the Jewish religion.  I am certainly not in favor of the restrictions
imposed by the Orthodox there.  

But I see no way at the present time that the Muslims can be trusted to
the extent that Israel can survive with them in peace.  It is not whether
a Palestinian government can be trusted, but whether anyone could be safe
in the state of Israel with weak governments in surrounding states which
cannot control the fanatics.  I am not sure that any government anywhere
in less than a police state can control them unless they are very few in
number.

What can a poor and weak Palestinian state do to control the Hezbollah and
other fanatics?  NOTHING.  The border between Israel and the West Bank is
totally indefensible against border-crossers.  The Israel-Lebanon border
is bad enough, but it is short.  Even a rational group, like the Mafia or
Medellin cartel, interested in profit, could completely terrorize Israel
from the West Bank.  The Mafioso are not willing to give their lives for
mere terrorism, as a Muslim who believes that dying in the name of Allah
is immediate entrance to Paradise.

The biblical prohibition is against sexual relations involving a
woman who is menstruating. The two questions you have (about
"touching" and about the week-long waiting period) are both
examples of what is known as a "fence around the Torah", an extra
stringency added to help people avoid breaking a biblical
commandment.

According to the Talmud, the women of Israel decided that they
should wait a full week after menstruation ends, to make sure
that they would not break the commandment inadvertantly, as e.g.
by having sex when they thought the flow had stopped, but before
it actually *had* stopped. I don't recall where the Talmud says
this, but someone out there must have a reference.

There is no biblical commandment against a man touching a
menstruating woman; for example, a man can hug his daughter when
she's menstruating. However, a husband and wife might have a lot
of trouble refraining from intercourse. If they touch each other,
the temptation might become too great to resist. For that reason,
the rabbis of the Talmud made a number of laws regarding
separation of husband and wife during this period; for example, a
husband cannot even take something from the hand of his wife if
she is menstruating.

This quote appears as an insription on top of the main entrance to

Herman Branover became religious in Russia.  He is a world reknown
scientist who now lives in Israel.  He is also the founder of the
SHAMIR Institute that helps xUSSR immigrants to Israel getting jobs in
their technical fields.  He wrote a book called "The Return" which has

Not in the least.

I respect anyone who is prepared to probe the historical origin 
and philosophical basis of the obligations that he or she takes upon
him- or herself [Note how carefully I protect myself against the charge
of sexism! :-)].  Needless to say, I reserve the right to probe the
same sources and come up with a different set of commitments. 
"Them that honor me will I honor" (1st Samuel 2,30).

While I can hardly deny the right to live as they choose to those who 
take commitments upon themselves blindly, without feeling the need 
understand their origin, I share Hillel's opinion (Avot 2,5) that 
"an ignoramus cannot be [truly] pious" and that of Rabbi Joshua 
(Sotah 20a)  who lumps a "pious fool" with a "sly evildoer" as 
"MEVALEI OLAM", i.e. hazards to society ( Even Shushan). Moreover, I 
bitterly resent their presumption in instructing me that, since my own 
beliefs are "value"less, they have the (literally) God-given right to 
tell me how I must conduct myself.
Since you too live in Israel, I need not elaborate further.

I generally am silent wrt your practice, but please realize that
your victim's rendering does NOT violate the commandment.  He did not
utter the name, but rather the job title.  There have been many (false)
"god"s, and J* did not command that the generic title be respected, but

There's nothing that different.  And there's nothing wrong with

Not quite:

1) It appears that the black community rallies around their millitant
   leaders (Malcolm X, Louis Farrakahn, etc) much more than Jews rally
   about the Jewish militant leaders (like Meir Kahane).  As a matter
   of fact, most Jews I know of have little respect for Rabbi Kahane.

2) Most Zionist leaders I know of are NOT militant.  Most of the "back
   to Africa" black leaders I've read about are.

Please.  I hope a movie about Jews and Zionists would not center about
Kahane.  That would cause a wave of anti-semitism in the nation that I
really do not want to live through.

The President of Israel has surely been in the news lately, I hope
at least as well as the President of Egypt.

But I think you are tacitly agreeing the answer is not too well

Well, I just copied from the original quiz, but I think the three

(The books, not the people.)

We certainly agree all the prophets were major.
