Also, you may know that, according to halacha a non-Jew's life is inherently worth less than the holiness on Shabbat and therefore in theory you should not save a drowning non-Jew on Shabbat (OK, the Rabbis changed that now by saying that this may cause a chilul Hashem, but this is a cop-out, especially since this would only be relevant in a case where people would notice). Also, kabbalah says that non-Jews don't have a neshoma.<br /><br />Perhaps you are just an enlightened Jew and for you Havdalah is not offensive ;)Undercover Koferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194328471722983693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754002607205877740.post-24390379909160215512014-02-19T20:44:35.806+01:002014-02-19T20:44:35.806+01:00It seems clear to me you see everything in a negat...It seems clear to me you see everything in a negative light. When the chassid embraced the thief, you call it ' blackmailed emotionally and thus choked'...!<br /><br />Whats the issue with the havdalah blessing ? Do you not believe that a jew is responsible to lead a more disciplined life ? If you live a life just like the nations then I can see why you would have a problem with this statement of separation.<br /><br />Thats like saying, I resent bodybuilders for looking so much better than me and being so much healthier. I feel like a schlub next to them. This is discrimination !!!<br /><br />You know what ? Join a club, get into shape, work hard and eat well and in a year you will be like them. Guess what, anyone willing to take on the Torah and mitzvot can join and become CHOSEN ! <br /><br />I dont look down on gentiles !? I respect them as human beings no less than myself ! But I do thank HAshem for giving me the Torah and its wonderful lifestyle which I love and live. Sure its not easy, but its worth it.eliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405408910249669972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754002607205877740.post-79258731586094982782010-08-03T07:31:56.086+02:002010-08-03T07:31:56.086+02:00Hi Mis, all the examples mention a distinction in ...Hi Mis, all the examples mention a distinction in holiness, thereby effectively telling that we, by our mere existence, are on a higher level than other human beings.Undercover Koferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194328471722983693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754002607205877740.post-78799737486888255142010-08-02T23:58:00.567+02:002010-08-02T23:58:00.567+02:00Not necessarily a comparison.
