I thought I would take advantage of the 1 week no fighting rule that APSU created to teach y'all about Judaism. Black/ Jewish relations been fucked up for decades now and I hear niggas saying all sorts of ridiculous shit about Jews and Judaism. Wierd talk of Synagogues of Satan, Blood Libel etc etc. But how many of y'all have actually taken time to study it?
I started studying Judaism cuz its the religion Jesus came out of. I'd also cite the fact that half the world's population, between Christians and Muslims, are practicing a form of some sort of essentially Jewish ethics. I believe studying Judaism should be required of all Christian, muslims and Bahai, perhaps all Westerners- its the oldest surviving form of our current morality. Judaism could also offer keys to black survival. Indeed, though I'm not a jew, I have incorporated several aspects of their religious practice, including shabbat, into my life and it has improved it greatly.
I have decided to take my info from Chabad Lubavitch as their headquaters is in an area that has had much Jewish/ Black racial tension (its where the Crown Heights riot was). This way I can cover both Jew-Black racial relations (look what they actually practice before you demonize them) and the religion of Judaism. I will warn you that Chabad is ultra-conservative so many of their practices are extreme. They are by no means a reflection of jews in general
Enjoy, with an open mind (I am not sure of copyrights so I'm putting links instead of dragging info into my post):

Shabbat (sabbath)
What and why- http://www.chabad.org/library/article.asp?AID=258916
How- http://www.chabad.org/library/article.asp?AID=257569
Dont let the intensity of Chabad shabbat scare you away. As I said, I've borrowed this practice from the jews. What I do is I unplug for a day- unhook the phone dont use the net dont watch the news. I listen to some Al Green, sit back, have a nice lunch- just completely relax.

There's a start. Discuss if something particularly touches you. Let me know if the links dont work.
