PPS- if you've missed what Shavuot is about, check out this brief video -
" I am the L-rd your G-d who rescued you from the land of Egypt... gods besides Me you should not know, and there is no Saviour but Me" (Shemot 20: 2 & Hoshea 13: 4) . A Sephardi discussion on Orthodoxy, the world, notes, essays & other pedantic musings
Hi David,

ReplyDeleteOne can never have to much cheesecake. I see you've been arguing with our friends on Cranmer again. Keep up the good work. I'm seeing the sister I used to know coming back (:
Thanks David. Yeah I'm like a moth to a flame when it comes to arguing with Evangelical Protestants and Conservative Roman Catholics...A minor skirmish as far as I'm concerned. And I like the video you've put up on this thread as well. Fab! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, we've got to have cheesecake for Shavuot. What about more traditional Sephardi food though??

Love U xx, enjoying studying Torah with U and everyone else. (:
ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the chance to be able to study the Torah, your everlasting covenant , with you. As a Christian I am humbled by your devotion to God's word. Thank you for enabling I to be able to sit with you , our older brothers and sisters of the LORD and discuss these wonderful God given documents. I will never understand anti-semitism and Jew hate. You are such a creative, wonderful, kind people who have given us all so many blessings.
God bless
x (:
