    @Victortrotska askenazi refers to Jews in Europe usually.

  2. Victortrotska says:

    First thank you for taking the time to answer.
    I did not ask clearly, I apologize. I was more asking about the meaning “behind” the words.
    For example the word you told “ben” (like in Arabic) is not an exclusive “son to biological father” word right?
    Because even in Arabic (and even in Hebrew I think) this word can also mean “from” (roughly) like let us say Yacob from Tira: Yacob Ben Tira?
    Or even “spiritual” son?

    I hope I was clear enough my brother.

    “Shalam” ;-) (shalom+salam)

    if i understand you correctly you are asking what is the term for son and father in Hebrew. The word for father is abbah and the word for son is ben. If i misunderstood your question please explain G-d bless.

    Oops, thanks for the clarification. :)

  5. Victortrotska says:

    What are “askenazi”? People from european ancestry who converted to judaism?

    And how are called the Jews who are from the same original people as Abraham (peace be upon him)?

  6. Victortrotska says:

    Hi, I am not Christian but Muslim. But my question do not have any other purpose than understanding better other religions.
    So I have some questions to my Jewish brothers if one of them would be kind enough to answer.

    What were/are the words “Son” and “Father used for?
    My understanding is that in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Arabic (all semitic so the same) is that they are not the same as the occidental meanings that classify those as “parental” but not spiritual.

    Thanks in advance!

    -return all the exiles back to Eretz Yisrael
    - close off Yerushalayim from the uncircumcised and non G-d fearing/ mitzvot observing people
    - usher in and era of world peace.

  9. 613degrees says:

    well first off the mans name wasnt “Christ” thats the greek word of the Hebrew title of moshiach.
    and jews do not accept Jesus or yeshua ( his actual name, which translates to Joshua ) because he didnt fulfil not even one of the prophecies that the moshciah is supposed to ie:

  10. 613degrees says:

    no we can actulay eat thigh meat as long as the sciatic nerve is removed:
    “Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the thigh-vein which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, even in the sinew of the thigh-vein.” (Bereshit 32:33)

    Seems that Sikhs are much easy on the Chicago PD compared to orthodox Jews.

  14. goblue122394 says:

    not all orthodox wear a head covering…especially the modern orthodox.

  16. rosaryfilms says:

  17. ipwnnewbs50 says:

    this was actually very well done, accurate, and informative.

  18. goblue122394 says:

    there extremely sheltered.

  19. ron13000000 says:

    @meshmis Judaism has nothing to do withh islam

  20. keakini says:

    @Hillsillverr It’s considered unclean meat in both religions. Kosher foods have some similarities from Muslim halal (which means “permissive” in Arabic) foods. After all, they are both Abrahamic religions.

  21. Hillsillverr says:

    @keakini – what, no pork?
    I thought that was a muslim thing only…
    Why no pork ?

  22. keakini says:

    For example, it’s permissible to eat beef (excluding thigh meat), seafood with scales and fins, fruits that are less than 3 years old, and absolutely no pork.

  23. Hillsillverr says:

    @keakini like what ?

  24. keakini says:

    @oombuddah I was thinking that too when I was watching this video!

  25. keakini says:

    @Hillsillverr Kosher food is food that is permitted to eat in the Old Testament/Torah.
