It’s really easy to sit here in my Diaspora glass house and throw stones. Compared to some, my upbringing wasn’t just secular — it was nearly pagan. But alas, I’m a Jew, and I feel it my duty to say, “Wow, that is some straight up dark ages bullshit,” when I read things like the following:
A Jerusalem rabbinical court recently sentenced a wandering dog to death by stoning. The cruel sentence stemmed from the suspicion that the spirit of a famous secular lawyer, who insulted the court’s judges 20 years ago, had been transferred into the dog’s body. (via YNet)
Seriously? You’re going to stone a dog to death because a spirit entered his body? Do we really need to explain how incredibly messed up that is? This Weekly Shonde obviously speaks for itself.
I admire the useful facts you offer inside your articles. I will bookmark your weblog and also have my children verify up here often. I’m very sure they’ll learn a lot of new things right here than anybody else!
