The FACT that Judasim did 'assert itself' in other cultures made it a major ingredient of the pudding of western culture we now have ! https://www.britannica.com/topic/Judaism/The-role-of-Judaism-in-Western-culture-and-civilization Of course the Jewish people, and the values of Judiasm they (at least to some extent) embody, have had an influence on the wider world. I don´t think Daniel means to claim otherwise. Everybody influences everybody. We live in a soup of humanity and, for better or worse, our flavors inevitably meld. But what is true is that Jews don´t try to convert non-Jews to Judiasm. There might be a few outlying cases, like when an observant Jew wants to marry a non-Jew, something like that. But there´s no push in Judiasm to make everybody Jewish. It just doesn´t happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salvijus Posted July 6 (edited) I have no idea what's going on here but for those who are interested exploring Judaism in its most profound form. "Zohar" is the book. Nobody asked, I know.

For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of Yaweh from Jerusalem.

" - I think you better run that one by your Rabbi Yes, my Rabbi says you weren't chosen to be born from my mother's womb. You were chosen to be born from your mother's womb. Assuming that not being chosen to be Jewish precludes other divine purpose is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted July 7 (edited) On 7/5/2024 at 4:23 PM, Nungali said: Chosen people' means the other lot are not chosen by God .... Nungali, Please name one thing you cannot do because you're not born Jewish, because you aren't a chosen person? One thing from which you are excluded? Can you name anything? Anything at all? The point is, your objection is meaningless. Not "Chosen" by God is phrase with no practical limitations at all. You can do whatever you want. Just don't lie about your heritage. Is that too much to ask? Edited July 7 by Daniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
