Studies on Being Jewish

In these studies we consider what it means to be Jewish. What makes a person Jewish? What is a Jew? Does one have to be born Jewish to be Jewish? Is Judaism a race, a religion, or what? Are converts "really" Jewish? Is Judaism like a cult where everyone must agree? Is there a Jewish Pope? Why are there Jewish movements/denominations if God is one? Is one movement "more Jewish" than the others? What's the difference between Ashkenazi and Sephardi? Between Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism? What is Jewish Renewal? Who are the Karaite Jews? What are Chassidim (Hasidim)? Where are the Ten Lost Tribes? So many issues!

Who is G-d?:

            The Sacred Name: The Name of the One Creator is the most sacred sound vibration there is!

           What It Means That HaShem is Echad/One: In the Shema we declare that HaShem is "echad" (One). What does this mean?
