Beards should be allowed in all phases of military and police in this country. The British Army always allowed the Indians to be bearded & their Sikh soldiers turbaned.It in no way did it hindered their performance Simply by not allowing its just plain biased plain and simple whether its Jew – Muslim -or what ever culture .Anyone that wants a beard should be permitted to one have one.In ancient times soldiers were told to shave off their beards since in battle an approaching soldiers can pull it and disable him. Most cases men who complains about a beard is unable to grow a good beard due to lack of facial hair. or their Boss won’t allow them to do so.
The N.Y. C Police academy to dismissed an applicant after he went through the training course is just unconscionable he should be reinstated immediately if not sooner,end
WHEN MY GRANDFATHER LIVED WARSAW POLAND CIRCA 1893, THE JEWS THEN DIDN’T HAVE A POT TO…LET ALONE SUPPORT A RABBI. THE RABBI WAS FROM A WEALTHY OR MIDDLE CLASS MERCHANT FAMILY AND WAS NOT ONLY ABLE TO GO TO GRADE SCHOOL BUT TAKE THE EDUCATION ALL THE WAY ONTO COLLEGE, WHERE AS THE AVERAGE JEW IN THOSE TIMES HAD TO LEARN A TRADE AT AN EARLY AGE AND HAD TO GO TO WORK IN ADDITION TO HIS LEARNING A TRADE AND NOT ONLY COULDN’T AFFORD THE COST OF SECONDARY EDUCATION , IT WAS PARAMOUNT THAT THEY BROUGHT INCOME INTO THE HOUSEHOLD.
WHEN A RABBI RECEIVED HIS RABBINICAL DEGREE HE WAS BASICALLY SELF SUPPORTING.HE LIVED OFF BOTH HIS AND HIS FAMILIES FUNDS. THIS WAS THE WAY IT WAS IM AMERICA WHEN JEWS CAME TO AMERICA CIRCA 1870″S TO WORLD WAR 11’s.
SOMEWHEFE ALONG THE LINE THE RABBIS GOT THE SMART IDEA THAT THE CONGREGATION SHOULD PAY DEARLY FOR THEIR SERVICE SO TO SPEAK . A HOUSE OR APT MUST BE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR THEM AS WELL.
IN ADDITION A HUGE SIX FIGURE SALARY AND ALL EXSPENCES ARE PAID BY THE CONGRGATION HAS NOW BECAME A GREAT BURDEN ON MANY TO SEND THEIR KID TO HEBREW SCHOOL FOR A JEWISH EDUCATION . THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ITS TO LATE. YES AND IT’S AFFECTING ALL THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY ALL ACROSS THE NATION

Pig With Dual Stomach Chamber Found In Indian Jungle Of Madhya Pradesh In 1985(Technically Kosher)
In 1985 in a remote jungle in India a pig was found with a dual stomach chamber and was a cud Chewing animal.
The Hebrew Bible says that to be kosher and animal must be cloven footed have a dual chamber in its stomach. Deuteronomy (14:4-5) swine are cloven footed ( split at the hooves) Genetic engineering may be brought into play to produce kosher pork .We at The INTERNATIONAL HEROLD wants to know would you eat meat from such an animal if you normally keep Kosher?
March 7-8 .Note: The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus holiday observances begin at sunset of the first secular date listed (with the Purim Night Megillah reading taking place that evening), and the holiday concludes at nightfall the following day.
The U.S . Census did not ask for your religion or ethic background on the last census Taken.
WE at the International Herold believes it goes along the same route as when the Federal Government want to know how many Catholics that there are.. they simply ask the Arch Dioceses.. How many Protestants that go to the Council of Churches and Jewish some major Jewish organisation which apparently lets them know how many Jews are affiliated with Temples and registered does not allow for the non affiliated Jews who are the majority of non counted Jews.
A January 10, 1921 fire at the U.S. Department of Commerce building in Washington, DC, destroyed the majority of the population schedules from the 1890 Census. The fire left an enormous gap in many families’ genealogical record.Apr 1, 2021
Between a period of 1870 to 1923 immigration to America was mostly by Jews coming from every Eastern European Country, followed by Italy so we believe that there are at least as many Jews as White Christians in America and the figures just don’t add up.
The Antiquated Hebrew Language Teaching system that is place now in all Hebrew Schools and Chaders must go and make way for a new language course.When one goes to Hebrew they read Hebrew Phonetically in other words they learn the alphabet and can read write, and pronounce it but haven’t the slightest clue as what they are saying .We Think its high time that the same course method used in Chinese American & Greek American – Polish American language schools be used in all Hebrew schools outside of Israel.WeI personaly knew people of Greek Background born in the U.S .A of American English speaking parents and go to Greek school at lets say at 5 years old and learn it as a living speak able language same goes for Chinese and Polish. This system must become the curriculum in all Hebrew schools soon. end
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-3b7ls3-dI– Fascinating! Jews in Uganda. I noticed early in the clip the “Shmah” written in Hebrew on the wall of their synagogue. (Note to my non-Jewish friends: the “Shmah” is one of the holiest of Prayers. It translates to “Hear, oh Israel, the Lord our G-d, the Lord is one.”)
Also recently learned that if a Torah scribe makes a mistake while creating a Torah he can correct the mistake unless the mistake is in the word for G-d, in which case the entire torah must be scrapped because the name of G-d must never be erased. The Torah must be buried in a Jewish cemetery
