    If we are getting into Jewish comedy, Please read Portnoy's Complaint by Phillip Roth.

    A classic that will have you splitting your sides with laughter.....

    "Christanity is Judaisim for gentiles".

    I must say that I have heard more than one Rabbi mention that and at times I wonder if that could have indeed been the "point".

    Far and away the most moving religious experience I've had was at a Messianic Jewish fellowship. The gentleman who sang the worship song had passion that made 80's U2 seem cynical, shallow, and materialistic by comparison.

    Being a Jew, the person who gossips about the homosexuality is viewed to have sinned MORE than the homosexual. And the fact that two homosexuals are in a high-ranking position in the religion left me gobsmacked to say the least... and nobody gives a damn.

    It is called Lashon Har-ra (evil tongue) and it is considered improper speech: "The harm done by speech is even worse than the harm done by stealing or by cheating someone financially: money lost can be repaid, but the harm done by speech can never be repaired."

    anyway, back to the gay members of your boyfriend's temple (congrats btw), of course they are welcome. Reform does not interpret the story of Sodom and Gomorrah the same as other religions. According to the Reform movement, the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was inhospitality not homosexuality.

    Nothin' worse than a inhospitable gay person.

    I've known some real nasty queens in a few jobs I've had. And even with the nice ones I really don't appreciate having my behind swatted by a coworker passing by.

    TD,

    Wow! Jehovahs Witnesses to a tee. It's a long read, but worth it.

    What do you expect as the towel boy in a Miami bath house called "Spartacus' Spa"

    Snowbird: I heart all things Jewish.

    I liver all things Jewish. Especially chicken livers sauteed with shallots and capers. (Sorry I couldn't find a liver emoticon)
