well that's nice except I have made no "my way or the highway" azurnoir Apr 2012 #48

I'm saying if they were bar/bat mizvahed then they went to Sunday school oberliner Apr 2012 #81

I did. Shaktimaan Apr 2012 #19

So did I and my three brothers, as well as my father. Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #21

Hebrew school was for teaching Hebrew. Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #45

No I stated common usage in American English nothing more or nothing less azurnoir Apr 2012 #46

And 5 Jews have told you we all attended Sunday School and you continue to tell us we are wrong. Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #47

What you said... Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #50

yes I did and since have said if you wish to call it Sunday school then azurnoir Apr 2012 #51

I didn't change anything...that was you. "Common usage." Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #52

I said common usage in American English now if you wish to call me on that because azurnoir Apr 2012 #53

This message was self-deleted by its author Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #57

FreeDictionary is obviously a pro-Zionist rightwing rag of a source... shira Apr 2012 #54

yawn anything else? n/t azurnoir Apr 2012 #55

I think you need to ask some of those Jews you know... shira Apr 2012 #56

do you mean whether or not they went to school on Sunday or called it azurnoir Apr 2012 #58

Ask if they went to Sunday School. n/t shira Apr 2012 #59

Do you want notarized answers? azurnoir Apr 2012 #60

went to Hebrew school on Sunday and called it Sunday school? azurnoir Apr 2012 #25

Really every Jewish kid you knew went to Hebrew school on Sunday and called it Sunday school? azurnoir Apr 2012 #27

I did too. Realize not every American Jewish kid goes to a hebrew day school... shira Apr 2012 #22

Digging what shira once again incase you still don't understand azurnoir Apr 2012 #24

Apparently... holdencaufield Apr 2012 #34

No but do keep trying as I said apparently you do not understand azurnoir Apr 2012 #36

I'm just thinking... holdencaufield Apr 2012 #39

it is a matter of language usage not dogma if you wish to call Hebrew school Sunday school azurnoir Apr 2012 #41

You originally claimed the author of the OP was out of touch for saying Sunday School oberliner Apr 2012 #61

Good Morning my point is and was that the term Sunday School in common use azurnoir Apr 2012 #62

You're willing to fight... holdencaufield Apr 2012 #63

sigh for the umpteenth time once again I have not said I right or wrong I gave you common usage azurnoir Apr 2012 #65

Wow! I'm flabbergasted. NT holdencaufield Apr 2012 #66

Israelis... holdencaufield Apr 2012 #64

Sounds to me more like Israeli Jews are failing to understand Americans: bemildred Apr 2012 #10

I think it was meant to make a rhetorical point oberliner Apr 2012 #13

He himself states, to paraphrase, that "it's not working". That's his subject matter. bemildred Apr 2012 #68

I do see the problem oberliner Apr 2012 #71

Oh I quite agree. bemildred Apr 2012 #73

It's not that Americans should try hard to have more understanding... shira Apr 2012 #75

The situation seems quite symmetrical to me. bemildred Apr 2012 #76

there is a gap between American Jews and Israeli Jews that is shown here azurnoir Apr 2012 #11

That film is big with the Mondoweiss crowd oberliner Apr 2012 #14

Of course it is. But it's not about Jews, right? Wink, wink... n/t shira Apr 2012 #30

The film is expressly about Jews no wink wink about it azurnoir Apr 2012 #67

The irony is that Mondoweiss is irrationally anti-Zionist.... shira Apr 2012 #69

the PC part "kills me" pelsar Apr 2012 #18

I always find it amusing... holdencaufield Apr 2012 #31
