Episode: Jewish mother and Christian mother swaped for a week.
I found this show very difficult. I try to view everything without being biased. It is hard to remember when I was 17 as the southern boy took very much offense to everything. I compare how I would react and I think I would have been more polite and open to new ideas.
I don't disagree with the Jewish mother about hunting but I think burnt offerings could be comparable in nature. Understood hunting and offerings to God are VERY different but I also understand other things not recognized in the Talmud in modern day. I feel if you can edit things due to modern age that is written as oral law you should be more open and understanding when it comes to the Jewish children. I saw their eyes were very open when the southern mother talked of dancing and social situations.

I felt the Jewish father should have been more open in converse and expressed what he would or would not allow. He seemed to allow the get together with the kids but when the rabbi came he changed fast.
I can respect a person respecting a rabbi or preacher but I must respect that you are the father first and what you believe is what goes.
The southern family members that came seemed to defensive about the whole kosher thing and the converse about the Torah was ignorant. I think people forget where Jesus came from and his beliefs of and for the Torah and law.
My personal views on both Judiasm and Christianity are very open. I seem to have an understanding and love for both.

My first thought was why did these people even sign up for the show, especially the Jewish family. Sure you get money, but why bring someone into your home that is going to belittle your beliefs. I am sure editing had a whole lot to do with the content of the show. I guess people would do anything for money.

I think we should bear in my that the show is edited to get the biggest ratings. Those long stretches of silence when the Southerners ask about "what book is that from?", etc, were edited in. It was a very enticing show. Christians I know are taught to respect and support those of the Jewish faith.
