Despite the fact that we Jews are the people of the book, for many of us in the last couple generations, the books we know do not [...]

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a little game I’ve been playing with my daughters since they were old enough to speak. It’s a way to build up their self-esteem while simultaneously teaching them from where we derive self-worth in Judaism. This is how it goes:
Me: Who made you so smart?
My daughter: Hashem (which literally means the name, but is [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Allison,
There are 613 Mitzvot which is a lot of rules to follow (although not all apply at this time). What happens if you break a mitzvah, e.g. you ate a bacon sandwhich? Would that mean that there's no point in you following that specific mitzvah any more because you've already disobeyed it and God gives [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I have recently become an expert - nay, a master - of white rice preparation. How, you ask? I don't know exactly, but my white rice of late has had the perfect balance of oil, salt, moistness, and fluff. It is everything I ever hoped for and dreamed for in a calorie-heavy, nutrition-light accompaniment to the delicious (and likewise unhealthy) sweet and [...]

You know how there's an idea in Christianity that we Jews are going to Hell for not believing in Jesus? What's a good way to debate missionaries on this issue using the Bible?
