Hm.... maybe. I'm not sure. One might definitely say, if asked, &quot;I am an <br> Existentialist&quot; or &quot;I am a Randian Objectivist&quot; or something, but I'm not <br> sure that's precisely equivalent to saying &quot;I am a Reform Jew.&quot; There's <br> certainly some overlap... <br> Maybe it's because I grew up in a Conservative shul, I think that's the

And why I can be &quot;Reform&quot; in my philosophy and yet not match the <br> majority of Reform Jews' practices.

a) who says they do call themselves &quot;O&quot;? Abe is the one who so designated <br> them, based on behavior I presume, we don't know what they call themselves <br> b) what business is it of yours how people choose to categorize <br> themselves? That's the position you've taken for yourself and for Cindy, <br> why should it be any different for these friends of Abe?

I once did a 'drash on Shemot where I discuss the Moshe story as the <br> basis for both Jesus and Arthur. It was a lot of fun, and raised a few <br> eyebrows.

Partially. <br> Israeli Arabs, most of whom are Muslims - and Palestinian Arabs as <br> well - fly into and out of Israel via TLV. <br> Like all departing passengers, they are subject to security checks, <br> though it might be more stringent in their case than for others, but <br> this has nothing to do with their choice of an airline.

I understand your anguish and I have never owned a German car, but mi-idach <br> gisa (OTOH), if we were to boycott every company (including PARTS <br> manufacturers) that wronged us the list would be too long. Many, if not <br> most, kitchen and laundry appliances in Israeli homes, are of German origin. <br> Modern Israeli submarimes are of German origin.
