Nothing really has intrinsic value, not even gold, silver or diamonds. They have value because people desired them (initially for their beauty and /or utility). Now they have value because they have value. How is this critical mass of sentiment in favour of hard assets different to that for Dollar, Euro or Pound notes, or even just numbers in a banking system?They have value because a critical mass of people decided they have value. http://amplify.com/u/fmft
Remember the old saying that “charity starts at home”? Well perhaps the SA Orthodox community should adopt the idea that Interfaith starts at home. Their smarmy, politically correct attempts at Outreach to the Christian and Muslim communities mean nothing when they can’t even bear to share the same podium with their Progressive/Reform (and Masorti) Jewish brethren! http://amplify.com/u/fm1c

What I love about progressive Judaism(Saying the same thing in lots of different ways)I can listen to my conscience and reason and absorb the latest scientific findings, while remaining a believing Jew.I don’t have to indulge in “the willing suspension of disbelief”.I don’t have to carry around two sets of contradictory or irreconcilable beliefs in my head.I don’t have to brainwash myself, or my child. I can freely embrace or question.I’m not afraid of ideas, knowledge, philosophy, wisdom, science or others’ beliefs.I’m not afraid of questioning, or being questioned.I can embrace both my heritage and the modern world.I have no mental reservations about what I’m expected to believe, in the way that many nominally Orthodox people I know have. http://amplify.com/u/fi9w

I never thought I’d see the day when reports like this from Israel would become commonplace (from the latest Women of the Wall newsletter):“Along with commemorating the anniversary of the first arrest of a woman at the Western Wall, Women of the Wall will be holding a vigil with their Torah outside of the entrance to the Western Wall Plaza, in protest of the newest regulation passed by Rabbi Rabinowitz which prohibits men and women from entering the Western Wall Plaza with a Torah from the outside. “Whatever happened to our beautiful little Israel, our sanctuary from the madness of the world? http://amplify.com/u/ekm0
