What role will religion play in your family?
If there won't be any religion in the family, it is most probably going down the drain. I recently realized this. religion and obedience to God will play a big role in my family.

good to know that and i think u are right. However, i noticed that some people take religion to the extrim......and others do not follow anything basic.
By basic i mean eating kosher, going to synagogye on high :conf: holidays at least.

A big issue. Especialy kashrut, shabbat and marriage...

kashrut and shabat are the most important ones.

Kashrut - Fully
Shabbat - to a major degree (not fanaticly)
Tefilin daily for boys over 13

I agree.. But I woudn't want my kids giving up careers and other real life goals for religion. I wouldn't want brain washed children.. Like many bukharian young people, won't mention anyone specific. I would have my children attend a modern yeshiva, which is still better than public schools.

It is and will always be. The tread asked in ur family, for me meaning when i'm married. But if u want to know about my parents home, religion is the most important roll in my life.

“In the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, people came to Judaism looking for spirituality. Today they come looking for morality”
Rebbitzin Tziporah Heller, a well known educator.

Religion has played an integral role thought history both on a large scale -- to the nation or on a more intimate -- to an individual. In my opinion, any religion provides order in our chaotic world. Judaism particularly provides a guideline to a way of life. So if you are handed a recipe or a formula to your life, why not grab it and make important use of it? No supernatural power in this world dictates what you should and should not observe/keep. G-d gave you the tools as well as free will. As to which path you choose to take is up to, but the tools are constantly available along journey.

Very well said.. You have good insight.

This reminds me of something in a lecture i heard tonight by Nissan Yakubov. He was mentioning about the Holocaust and how all Jews, no matter what kind (religious and nonreligous), all went together into the gas chambers. He said something along the lines of this, "You are a Jew. Whether u want to be or dont want to be, u r one. U cant get out of it. So u might as well enjoy it. Make the best of it." Those words stayed with me. And that second it just hit me---I mean I've heard it many times but it only really sunk in tonight. The nations of the world never let us forget that we are Jewish. If we are persecuted and sent in to the gas chambers together and they wont let us forget we r Jewish no matter how much we try to be secular, then y not just enjoy our Judaism and be strong in it? Y not represent what it really is?

cant recall the specific origin of the following idea, but G-d gave bnei israel a promise that He will always remind us of our identity. So whether its the crusadees, the Nazis, or the arabs, we will constantly have this reminder.
on the ther hand, at har sinai (mount. Sinai) not only Torah was given to our nation, but new hatred was born chinat sinam (baseless hatred).
So if you assimilate you die resenting that your are Jewish, but if you raise your voice and your belief, we will still be hated, simply b/c we are Jewish.

Its not about trying not to be like a Jew. Its about a Jew abusing the power of his genetics/heritage :). Instead of living a life of darkness and solitude according to extremely strict and obsessive compulsive rules, live freely and thank G-d for being born a Jew...

I am not a religious person, however religion to me epitomizes my devotion to being
not only a good Jew....but I am doing this for myself. Keeping kashrut, honoring all of the major Jewish holidays, maintainging all the traditions...i samayo glavnoya...bit chista dushnai chilavek. Patamushta yeslee ti budesh, na primer, ochin silna riligyozniy i ne chistiy i ne xaroshiy chilovek...tagda fso eta naprasno delat....fso eto zahodit na materialnast.

What role will religion play in your family?

a big one b/c religion is the key to life and if u follow g-d's ways u will be able to raise ur children properly, and treat ur husband with the right respect. i mean wwho wouldnt want their family to go in the right direction?

and also religion is also good for u! by keeping kashrut ur much healthier, making a brits- less chances of cancer, keeping shabbos is a day of rest for u, and etc.

Who said this words.
"Religion is an opium of people."

Brits and cancer?? :confused:. Never heard of that connection. As if Jewish Men don't get cancer.. Kashruth prevents chances of getting certain cancer I know for a fact. Less/No blood = Less iron = less oxidative damage to cells.

Я вычитал такую фразу в одной из книг Арье Форта:

"Иудаизм - ето гораздо больше, чем религия, иудаизм - ето образ жизни."

Я с етим обсалютно согласен.

Я вычитал такую фразу в одной из книг Арье Форта:

"Иудаизм - ето гораздо больше, чем религия, иудаизм - ето образ жизни."

Я с етим обсалютно согласен.

These days it has become a full-time obsession.... Every single move must be thought about twice and develops into neurotic compulsive behavior. Living within restrictions that take away basic and miniscule liberties.. And we thought communism was bad..
