Devor, I hope it's acceptable to post this, even tho you asked for us to wait until the OP asked further clarifying questions. But I saw some language in several of the posts to be so generalizing to the point that it's unhelpful and borderline stereotyping members of this community. *waves hi*
Yep, no problem. And my apologies if my post came across that way. I've worked with a lot of Jews, particularly Hasidic ones, and we used to talk theology all the time. I understand there's a lot more to it. I appreciate that you took the effort to share.
