100 Places to Live Abroad Before You Die

Yossi and Avraham

Yossi and Avraham

This is Yossi and Avraham

Yossi and Avraham, Yossi on the left and Avraham on the right, this is their spelling, not mine.


I was sitting in the John F Kennedy Airport in New York City waiting for my Lufthansa plane to leave. In walks a group with these big hats. My first thought was,

- More Amish Traveling by Plane -

Then I keep looking, the pants were not correct, there was the start of a little curls on the side of the boys sideburns. This just was not Amish, however they had the little caps, and I associated normally with Jewish people; however, the Arabs and the Rap Singers seem to wear them also.

I ask him,

- Where are you going? -

They as best I understand, were going to Mexico City to celebrate Passover.

Yeseph or Yossi, I guess Yossi is a nickname is an intense young man of 14, empowered by a belief; he is or could be intimidating. I considered him very interesting, extremely intelligent, and young and full of energy.

I was trying to learn more about the Chabad, as there are numerous places on the planet called the - Chabad Houses - where Israeli person congregate to all wear their hats and eat kosher foods.

He said he was Lubavitch, not good at spelling it though, his focus stayed on the goal.

613 PLUS RULES

He says they adhere to about 613 Plus rules and the Rabbis can make more under certain conditions. I tried to get him a little into the easy argument of Christianity, where all you have to do is ask for forgiveness and you were done, of course, you have to be repentant, serious and real.

Judaism and Islamic religions have may rule, to me this is cause of the terrorist in the world as may person live in an overwhelming and constant state of guilt. I see them as wanting to destroy the temptations they cannot stop in their lives.

Oh well, I tried my best to instruct a little and say, to explain something and not to tell something. This boy?s brains were seeping out the edges of his hat. The lesser intelligent persons are always angry with the person they do not understand.

I will continue the conversation with the Israeli girls in Thailand on my next visit, always a good spin to use.

Yossi has a web site, I have not been able to view it yet, however here it is, and I am hoping it works

Hasidism or Chasidim

The kid in the hat reminded me straight away of one of my cousins. This cousin is Jewish (from his mother's side). Funny that.

You said, "Judaism and Islamic religions have may rule, to me this is cause of the terrorist in the world as may person live in an overwhelming and constant state of guilt."

Oh, right, Christianity doesn't give you any guilt (born sinner), or cause anyone ever to be violent (crusades, witch hunts, anyone?).

Love the blog
I am still working on the combo cooker/room heater.
While we have alot of rules I am not sure I have ever met a Jew who was stressed out by the laws either you do them or not.
If you ever want to see some seriously non stressed guys look for some breslover chasidim especialy in Israel.
Exception:My wife and I got stressed out by cleaning for passover this last week so much work to do!!

OK... hehehe
I grouped the Jewish with the Islam on rules, and for sure both have rules.

I do believe a person that blows themselves up in a suicide bomb thingy is stressed out and lost sight of the plot.

Jewish people are great, normally well balance, however like ALL religions they have some over-zealous too passionate types, this kid could or world appear that way to most, however he is just too young. A great kid, not ready for prime time yet though.

I personally.. It is my belief, is a person shoud never bring attention to themselves for religious reasons, if you want to change the world the person needs to believe they are hearing from a revelation from someone that is just like themselves. I think in Jesus terms they say to be like at like a wolf in sheeps clothing or to hide inside a womb of innocence, then explain your brillance. Islam religion although always says is about peace, seems to kill a lot of people, I think ever harder for me to understand is when they blow up a Mosque, like stepping on your own foot.

Religion, what a great way to make people confused and angry, I would say I am a relgious person, I belive in that little voice in my head that keeps me out of trouble..
