Dear “Not a Jew Fan”:

Everything of value that matters came from the Jews. It’s difficult for your to accept it.

I suggest you spend your time with your face on the ground your butt pointed in the air toward Mecca asking Allah to admit he’s nothing but a LIAR and demanding that he kiss your butt.

Davud Joseph:

My very favorite study is that of the tabernacle in the wilderness.

1. every detail of the tabernacle was designed by God Himself! God is the architect of record for the tabernacle.

2. In Exodus 25:40, God said to Moses while he was on Mt. Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments and getting the blue prints for the tabernacle …”And see to it that you make them (every article in the tabernacle) according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”

3. Christians believe as follows: Hebrews 8:5 “who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For God said, See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” Christians believe the tabernacle in the wilderness is identical to the one in heaven.

God gave one chapter to the story of the creation. God gave one chapter to the Ten Commandments. God gives 50 chapters to the Pentetuch and Hewbrews to the tabernacle because every type of metal, every piece of gurniture, every rod, every colord… is a revelation of Messiah.

It’s the 16% of Jews who do get it! We believe in G-d not the chosen one. My birthday is the second day of Sukkot. Thanks for sharing the holiday memories. Semper Fi

[...] Debbie describes a bit about the sukkah here : They decorate the Sukkah (singular of the word) and eat all meals there during the holiday. (My father used to sleep in it, too.) It is very fun for kids because they help decorate the sukkah, and also visit other Sukkot in the neighborhood, eating candy and other treats there, sort of like on Halloween (but no tricks or treats, and it’s way more spiritual). It’s a very nature-oriented/outdoorsy holiday: At night, you have to be able to see the stars through the leaves and branches that compose the roof. And many of the traditional decorations are gourds and colored, dried corn. [...]

It’s pretty obvious, Debbie’s not pushing her religious beleifs on anybody here, just sharing. It’s the internet for Pete’s sake, just skip the story and move on! It’s that simple, stupid (aka. Not A Jew Fan) Personally, I like reading posts like these. I’d rather get this kind of info from the real source than some self proclaimed would-be experts. Knowing more about various cultures history and traditions lets us make up our own mind about others instead of following some up-and-coming ‘small minded would be dictator’s’ teachings. If good people knew more, this world would be a much better place to live in. I beleive that the world’s problems are brought on not just by hate, greed and downwright stupidity but also by ignorance. Just look at history.

Thanks to you, Debbie. I’ve learned so much about Jewish tradition and faith from your blog. Shame some asshat has to come on here and spoil it for the rest of us. Love your work, keep it up!

It also represents our temporary time on earth as our body is a temporary structure. Our soul will some day Tabernacle with G-d. I think.

Hey ‘Not a Jew Fan’
If you feel that way, why the hell don’t you get of this blog. You don’t HAVE to read what she has to say about our holidays.
