Dear Allison,
I have really enjoyed reading all your articles and watching your videos -- they answer many questions (some that I didn't even know I had). One of the many things you're good at is explaining the idea of modesty within the Jewish tradition. I recently had a Sabbath meal with a somewhat famous rabbi [...]

We're told that the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed due to senseless hatred. The event that broke the camel's back, that ignited the Romans [...]

		<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 [...]

I didn't hide under my desk like the other kids did if the teacher left the room, I refused to play toss the yarmulke in the halls as we'd walk to assemblies, and I never dreamed of making fun of my fourth grade teacher's penciled-on eyebrows (though I did wonder where her real ones [...]

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite kabalistic principles is that pleasure in this world is a result of creating unity in one's life. Therefore, certain foods are pleasing to our palates because there's a unity within the flavors. Similarly, certain combinations of musical notes sound pleasant to our ears when they are put together harmoniously. The same thing can be [...]

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but do you really think that just because you abstain from eating pork and the animal is killed in a certain fashion that brings you real closeness to God? Jesus said that nothing from the outside﻿ can make you "unclean," only your inner thoughts and actions.
Sincerely,
Tim
