I'm setting these things up. Should be helpful, and it'll mean I don't have to mention these stuff.
-
Cool, when is it?
-
Alright, Aman posted it. (Apparently)
-

June 4+5 (starts at the 3rd's night.) (http://www.bountyheadbebop.com/forum/index.php?action=calendar;year=2014;month=6)
-
Alright, Shavuot starts at sunset tonight/day. However, tonight we also have to stay up the entire Night praising/thanking God, so Aman and I will probably be off earlier than that.
-
Tisha B'av is on the 5th of August.

So hungry...

I hate you

You guys have a lot of holidays, it's like the USA but you actually pay attention to all of yours.
-
Super Fast (as in we can't eat, not as in quick) of a holiday coming up on August 5th/tonight.
-
We don't go online on that day, so you'll excuse us from 8:00ish to 9:00ish
-
Just went to see spamalot again in the theatre... You should see it. If you haven't then look up the "you won't succeed on Broadway" song
-

No, I won't excuse you. Danaos has convinced me I should give you a hard time about it.
Prolly shouldn't joke about that, hmm?
He's either trolling or wants to know who to bug about religion. Whatever it is, I'm unwatching the thread.
-
And we get along fine, right? XD
Nah, I secretly want to murder you
I'm pretty sure your religion doesn't allow that.
...maybe
If Sehaniel is Arhiest to the point that he idolizes himself, you can kill him Aman.
But, wouldn't the law against murder supercede the "destruction of idols" thing? I don't know, of course, which is why I'm asking.
...I don't think james got the memo.
-
Or better yet
Is it weird that I like Old Testament God better than New Testament God?
Makes sense. Old Testament God is a badass, formless dictator of the universe.
New Testament god is a bearded hippy dude.
That's arguable, but, for the most part, I think a lot of people would agree.
-
we should play a game. Can you spot the guy taking jokes srsly.
-
Come on now. james is on the spectrum. he doesn"t understand sarcasm/jokes.
-

Damn. He probably thinks I plot your murder.
Again, why the Fark am I getting tagged?
Because you want answers!
Okay, but to be fair, I've had The Bible read to me for my entire childhood. I didn't memorize the whole thing (just a few minor books from the NT). I wasn't really looking for irrefutable answers (I don't believe that any can be found, even in The Bible), just discussion, mainly.
I should probably get off the forums. I'm starting to outstay my welcome, again.
-
Damn. He probably thinks I plot your murder.
Oh, if I turn up dead, the police are coming for you.
-

Realize that by saying this, you are just giving everyone else a free pass to murder you, knowing you already framed the wrong killer.
-
>_>
Anyhow, I'm about to go on a journey. A 25 hour one that includes no eating, and having to go to lectures where grumpy rich New York-ers invade the Synogague and kick you off chairs so that they can give your chair to older rich people. And then they huff and puff and get mad, overall proving why we have this day of atonement in the first place.
So... Got an hour before this enjoyable time. Yes.
-

Bah, none of you can kill me.

Now only half an hour! Yay!
-
Oy! ;D

Loads of 3 day holidays coming up next months. Need to put them up soon enough.
-
Alrighty, Jewish New Year was put on the calendar. It's from Wednesday night to Friday night, and then we hit the sabbath, so we won't be on from Wednesday night to sat night.
-
I keep forgetting that we even have a calendar haha! ;D
-
Oh, that calendar!! I was thinking "wow, they don't tell you when your new year is till like, the week before?"
-
XD
-

Hilariously enough, that happened a really long time ago. We didn't have a calendar, since it was based on the moon, so we'd have people testify that the moon was a full one, and then we'd schedule when the holidays of the month were going to occur.
-
Really long time ago as in around when Jesus was born.

Wouldn't it have been easier to use a roman calender if it was around that time? ???
-

Probably, but us Jews are too cool for that. Even though the roman calendars went by the same cycle (lunar, like ours), for whatever reason it had slight, though important differences since exact time is important for us.
Not to mention that their months were named after different roman kings, while ours was based off of things in the bible. So we have to keep ours for traditions sake. The whole testimonial thing apparently went way back to biblical times though, and a rabbi named Hillel decided to just make an official calendar in about 350AC.
Even nowadays some rabbis refuse to go by the Christian Calendar, which actually makes sense at this point, though I'm too used to it to stop haha.
Anyway, holiday starts in about an hour and a half from now. Huzzah (this one isn't a fast, there's lotso food).

@crazy Jewish traditions
I currently have chickens in our car. I'll keep you guys updated.
-
Live chickens?
-
Live chickens?
Yeah, live ones.
-
I remember when they passed/reaffirmed the law that chickens were a thing everyone could keep in their yard in my town. So many takakakushi.
That (in the car) seems like it wouldn't be safe while driving. . .
-
Assume lay in cars, I do actually want to keep chickens. You get eggs for years then eat them
-
Saw them.
So cute and shit everywhere.

Don't worry, they'll be dead by the end of the day. XD
-
Going to eats them? Or are they for an offering?
-

Nah, eating then would be baaaad. They are an offering instead of our sins. XD (I mean, we don't burn them up, but we slaughter them and sell them to the non-Jews and give the profits to the poor)
-

How was Yom kippur guys?
-
How was Yom kippur guys?
Awesome. Didn't feel the fast at all. May have been due to the snuff. XD
You have Jewish friends?
-
I'm a new man!
...
Until the next time I sin and I have to repent next year. But for now I'm 'new', and stuff.
The after-fast meal is great.
I think Drak has mentioned knowing some Jews before.
-
My last school was almost entirely jewish (so much so that we had days off on the jewish holidays). My current one has no (religious) jews at all, but I still have friends from there.
-
Ha ha, you probably know some of the families here, ha ha. We had a couple of families from Quebec
-
Maybe, though I don't think any of them left the country.
-
Any Dadouns or BenHammous?
-
Any Dadouns or BenHammous?
Not a single one, haha.

Any rocking an awesome black hat?

2 3-day holidays including sabbath coming up. One starting this Wednesday night through Saturday night, and the second next week same time.
-
Alright, see you guys 7 3-course meals later.
(But for whatever reason the calendar ain't working for me)
-
See you guys later!
-
Have an awesome time :)
-
See ya!
-
Aw, I missed saying bye to you.
-
Bye guys. Again. XD
-
Yup
-
See you when you get back ;D
-
Have a good time!
-
Not a Jewish holiday or anything, but Aman and I have a school trip to Black-Carl-Sagan-Land (Hayden Planetarium.)
Will be back at around 8:15
-
Oh my god, my Chem teacher is the biggest Carl Sagan fan on planet earth, I swear. My bio teacher last year called her in just so she could "introduce" Carl before she showed us one of his shows.
-
Anyways, not a real Jewish holiday, but as the only Jews on the site, I can declare it as one. Tan and I are gonna be off to Florida starting Saturday night. I'll still be online at night, but as we're gonna be in Disney World, I make no promises for daytime hours. :)
-
You lucky dogs you!
-
Nice!
Though you'll probably have plenty of time to post while standing in lines... XD
-
^getting 3rd degree sunburn... :P
-

Ha ha, probably. Hopefully no huge lines though. XD
-
I once timed a line I was in for a big new rollercoaster. I spent 45 minutes in line to ride what turned out to be (from start to stop) a 17 second ride.
I was in line ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT FARKING TIMES as long as the ride itself!!!
---
It was like that episode of the Simpsons, where Homer stands in a mega-line at the amusement park waiting two hours to finally get to the end - where a sign reads: "We hope you enjoyed LINE, THE RIDE!"
XD
-
In jersey, we have a six flags with this giant ride called Kingdaka or something like that. Tan, my sister and I stood there waiting for an hour, and then the ride broke down. We stayed for another hour, and then got to go on the damn ride, which was ridiculously short and annoying. Ugh
-
I remember that. It was just a long build up and one drop. Really lame considering how long we waited for that one :P

And then on South Park, Cartman spends all their money on souvenir photos of them "enjoying the Line Ride."

Passover is happening this Friday night to Sunday night, and then again from next Thursday night to Saturday night, I think. Tan and I will be offline for the duration. ^_^
(Also, happy Easter to the Christians. Hope you guys find chocolate eggs. ^_^)
-
Have fun!
-
Woke up this morning to a preacher on tv ranting that "Easterrrr" is a pagan holiday and that "every time you roll your Easterrrr eggs, you put your immortal soul in peril of hell!"
He said that phrase five or six times. (Roll your Easter eggs? Was that like, a thing people used to do?)
Then he told us we needed to celebrate "Passover, the true resurrection of Christ!"
(I'm fairly certain Passover isn't a celebration of the resurrection of Christ. Xd )
-
XD
I thought people buried the Easter eggs and had their kids look for them for sweet delectable chocolate.
-
Passover was a Moses thing right? But there is a tie-in with the Christian Resurrection theme there.
The blood of the Sacrificial Lamb, painted over the doors, spared Israel from the Angle of Death. Not sure what the Jewish way of looking at this is, but with Christianity, it is an allegory of Jesus (the Lamb of God) spilling his blood to save the world from death through his resurrection.
So that would be my guess why Passover and Easter would sometimes be mentioned together.
Interested in what Aman or Tans would say the Passover represents for the Jewish community.
-
The angle of death is a truly terrible force ;)

Huh. So Jesus is called the sacrificial lamb? It would fit well with Passover, seeing how every year we make a sacrificial lamb offering.
Passover for us is the exodus, and we pray for the final exodus and the coming of the messiah
-
So, Exodus = Liberation from Egypt & Final Exodus = Liberation from the World?
-
Well, liberation to Israel, where we rebuild the Tempe and rule the world until we all Ascend to the Eden
-
Sweet! (It's hard ruling the world, isn't it?) XD
^Don't mean to sound like an ass with this BTW haha. I genuinely find it interesting about other beliefs and traditions.
-
Possibly. Don't know yet, ha ha! XD
And yeah, me too. One of the more interesting parts of history classes, ha ha.
-
For us it wasn't actually the angel of death, it was God himself who went and killed all the Egyptian first-born.
Aman already went over it, but Pesah is basically about our road from slavery in Egypt to being free to service our own God in our own land. Since then we've been exiled time and time again, and as such we're looking forward to the next and final Exodus where all the Jews will live in Israel.
Wouldn't really say that we'll rule the world when the Messiah comes, cause we already do ;) ;D.
But seriously, from what I know, it seems its less 'ruling the world' and more, 'the nations of the world will love us' and whatever the inquires, since we're supposed to basically be the High-priests/Kohanim of the world by then. Something like that...
-
Anyway, happy holidays to all!
-
Alrighty, happy holidays everyone!
-
Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy Holidays :)

-
So here's the weird one. Aman has it easy in Israel, but we have a two-day holiday starting tonight and ending Tues night. Wed-Fri is good. Then Sat-night through Wednesday (I think) is holiday again. Apparently ends the 6th. After that we're clear 'til Hanukkah sometime december ;D
-
So, what's next on the kosher holiday schedule? ;D
-
May 30th and 31/1st ish hahah
