Israel

Can someone please tell me if there are similarities between synagogues and mosques? I know that in both, men and women pray separately.

What is the atmosphere in a mosque like - for instance do services ever have a humorous slant? Sometimes in synagogue they can do.

Is any part of the mosque service in English?

Are there different types of mosque, the way we have various sorts of synagogue (Reform, Progressive, Conservative etc)?

Many thanks for your time. Hope you are all enjoying/have enjoyed a good Ramadan/Rosh Hashannah!

Israel is the same as SA was.
Racism and supremicy.
What are your thoughts?

In a lot of questions that I've looked at, I noticed that all of the answers except for the most recent ones have at least one thumbs down - for all of the answers of all the different opinions!

Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed this.

Here another great example fround by HonestReporting how a British newspaper uses a story about a Palestinian Football Team as a method to bash Israel and by resurecting the myth that Jews control the Government http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/new/The_Independents_Foul_Play.asp At least one thing - this again puts the rest of western media being controlled by the Jews - lol. Give me a break.

Shana tova to all; I wish you a healthy, happy new year, may it be full of sweetness! And to all Muslims celebrating Ramadan and Eid: I hope you have a great time with your friends and family. Above all - let us pray for shalom, for peace, for everyone in the future.

I hope all of you who went to synagogue enjoyed the service; I love the Shofar and am always so glad to hear it. Rosh Hashannah is a lovely time!

First of all, Happy Rosh Hashanah.
Second, yesterday I asked a question and talked about what I think the Palestinains should do in order to achieve peace in Israel and Palestine. It is here: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsyGsaEjjjKMDJpm7i7x6iHBFQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20070911080338AAaImDh

I got a lot of answers from Jews saying that they support my thinking but yet when another Yahoo Answers user asked a question about what the Israelis and the Arabs should do to make peace she got no answer except form me.

I think in order to acheive peace we both Palestinans and Israelis, Muslims and Jews have to admit our mistakes.
We both have to compromise. We, the Palestinans also have the right to have our independant country and please don't start telling me about our origin because I know that but in the

(ne-vé shal-om / waah-at i-sal-aam: Hebrew and Arabic for Oasis of Peace [Isaiah 32:18]): A village, jointly established by Jewish and Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, that is engaged in educational work for peace, equality and understanding between the two peoples.
Last year, the residents of Neve Shalom Wahat al-Salam enjoyed a rare opportunity. During the Jewish year 5766 and the Muslim year 1427, the month of Ramadan coincided with the festivals of Tishrei (the Days of Awe, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah). This gave residents and friends the chance to celebrate these holidays together. It was an ideal time for Doumia Sakinah to explore the commonalities between the two traditions, Muslim and Jewish, in relation to ideas of repentance and fasting, returns and beginnings, community and spirituality.

Would you like to do the same thing if you are given the opportunity this year? I would love to do that. It is so sad that we don't have Neve Shalom Wahat al-Salam in every country.

If Israel is allowed to attack any country they want, without provocation or justification, and the U.S. supports their actions, is any Arab or Islamic nation safe from their aggression? Why are they scared to take on Iran?

This guy is unreal. Hamas just launched a bunch of Kassam missiles at the Israeli military base, 67 Israeli soldiers are injured, some of the heavily.
Olmert gets his ministers together and they decide that the retaliation isn't going to be massive, but will more of a "symbolical" one.

This guy cannot protect your children, why do you keep him in power?

How did most Israelis let themselves be brainwashed into the left-wing "peace" propaganda?

Are you guys going to wake up? You are losing your country!

The weaker ("peaceful") Israel becomes, the more hated it is around the world. It is like the law of physics....

Anti-Jewish people hiding under the guise of simply "anti-zionists " (ie msafwat, etc) can leave, your attempts to gain 10 points here or on any of my questions are futile.

Rabbi Bachya ben Asher in the 13th century figured out there was a code in the Torah. Even some non-Jews eventually put two and two together and found something interesting in the letters of the original Hebrew text- Isaac Newton learned Hebrew to try and uncover it, but failed (he had no computer of course). The code is an Equidistant Letter Sequence (ELS). Meaning every letter is equally spaced from another- no random jumping around and making up words. Eliyahu Rips-an Israeli Mathematician, put enitre pages of the Torah on a computer screen and came up with many codes. You cannot see the code if you do not know Hebrew.
The murder of Rabin is there, in which the code (embedded in the story of the Temple sacrifices) says "ha rotzeach asher yirzach et rosh medina"- the killer who will kill the head of state

Aside from the creation of the accords, the project also has plans for a number of community outreach projects for next year, including bringing together children from local mosques and synagogues and possibly bringing Jewish and Muslim comedians to campus, said Sarah Dehaybi, a pre-physiology junior and president of the MSA.

"We want to focus more on the education aspect and hopefully from there we can initiate everything else we can do," Dehaybi said. "There's a lot of sensitive information involved, and you can't present that first."

While getting to know one another, the group has been studying the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from a number of different angles. One Muslim and one Jewish student pair off to write each section of the accords, including security issues, the handling of refugees and access to holy places, Alyeshmerni said.
"I really didn't know anything about the conflict before working with the project," said Jennifer Knutson, a science education

This video shows all who did and got punished for it, as he had promised, until now. The name is "Yesh Din Veyesh Dayan" - There is a judge and there is judgement, meaning that there is a judge who punishes people for their wrongdoings.

Now Olmert gave the arabs a part of Hevron; one of the holy cities of Israel. He too will be punished severely for doing so, and so will the rest of our left-winger government!
