SeamusParticipantDifferences in clothing and dress due to religious beliefs can vary within a group. Sometimes telling where official doctrine ends and tradition begins can be difficult to determine. There are a number of excellent resorces online for relgious questions, here’s a few good answers http://www.faqs.org/faqs/judaism/FAQ/05-Worship/section-42.html http://jewish.com/askarabbi/askarabbi/askr686.htm http://ohr.edu/ask/ask206.htm#Q4 http://jewish.com/askarabbi/askarabbi/askr304.htm

SeamusParticipantThere is an old joke, supposedly told by David Ben Gurion, ‘If you ask two Jews, you’ll get three opinions.’ The point being, you could easily get two Jews to disagree on this, However! there are many online resources for questions about Judaism as well as other religions. With regard to this particular question, here’s a few: http://www.near-death.com/experiences/judaism06.html http://www.wujs.org.il/activist/programmes/sources/life_cycle/what_happens_after_we_die.shtml http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/afterlife.html

SeamusParticipantA little clarification is necessary I think. What do YOU mean by Hebrew food vs. Jewish food? To some, Hebrew and Jewish are synonymous, while to others the former refers to a languange and is a historic term, while the other refers to both a current culture and religion. If you are asking whether or not the food was Kosher is another issue entirely. Simply put Kosher food adheres to Kashrut or Kashrus, the code of Jewish law governing food preparation. This can get very involved very quickly. Some animals are considered ‘traif’ and cannot be Kosher, (swine, shellfish, catfish and so forth) while others can be Kosher, BUT not if they are not prepared according to Kashrus.
