Corine-

You don't consider yourself Jewish? Then why this past year did you fast or attempt fasting on Yom Kippur as per a previous post of yours?

What about Venison? They can eat that, right?

It is a recent thing. I am agnostic.
I was born Jewish and I am proud of my heritage. I just don't celebrate or go to Temple.

So, you just ignore your faith?

Why do you keep posting on a board where no one likes you, or cares about what you have to say?

Do you feel proud?

No shellfish because shellfish are scavengers - they eat "garbage", which is considered "treyfe".

And there's nothing in the Jewish faith that says you MUST follow any of these rules, like in the Catholic religion where if you don't do this or that, you'll go to hell (Judaism doesn't acknowledge the existence of hell). You are just supposed to TRY and be the best possible person you can, and in order to do that, you SHOULD try and follow these guidelines and rules. But if you don't, it doesn't make you any less Jewish.

I'm more of a demon. I just filed my horns off this morning, so my head is feeling all nice and smooth. Nothing worse than my 5 O'Colck Stub though.

Oh God, I have to support Corinne. A lot of Jews are cultural and not into the religious aspect. My Dad who survived the death camps was an athiest. I was sent to Hebrew school, had a Bar Mitzvah.
We never went to Temple but we had all the seders for Passover and the latkes for Hannukah.

I'll fast on Yom Kippur but I don't go to temple. Whats more theoretically hypocritical; Going to Temple only on the high holidays and breaking every rule the next day, or just observing the traditions?

Love the pic - I almost choked on my latke.

But, Corinne - being Reform has nothing to do with not keeping kosher. Kashrut is the dietary laws for all Jews... whether or not someone keeps kosher is their decision - and in some cases there is no decision, it is an absolute must. That's a whole 'nother story

Right. I mean, you may be able to make the guess that it's more common for Reform Jews not to keep strictly Kosher, but it's not that being Reform means you don't "have" to keep Kosher. I know plenty of Reform Jews who keep absolutely, completely, no-questions Kosher, and I know some who eat pork fried rice and McDonald's on a regular basis, as well as many who fall somewhere in between. The more lax "rules" that Reform Judaism encourages, for lack of a better term, may provide more freedom to decide, but you still have the choice. Being reform does not automatically denote not keeping Kosher, and it doesn't mean you don't "have" to be. Many reform Jews "have" to, to varying degrees, for all sorts of various reasons, like myself.
