OnlySunshine Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 [quote name='Archaeology cat' timestamp='1333828898' post='2414086'] Yes, someone else who doesn't like ham! I'll eat it I have to, but I don't willingly fix it. My parents are having others over, so they wants some ham. I'd already planned on lasting lamb. So there you go. [/quote] I don't like ham, either. Unfortunately, my grandmother is making the meat and chose a spiral ham. I'm going to have to use a lot of mustard. I almost want to bring some chicken with me or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeology cat Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Bacon = delicious. Ham, not so much. I have to mask the flavour a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides' Jack Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 FQI comes from a Polish family, so we're having Kielbasa (not sure on spelling) with horseradish sauce. Honestly, I'm starting to really like some of her family traditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImageTrinity Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Ham AND lamb, red potatoes, asparagus, green beans, 7-layer salad, rolls, jello salad and vanilla bean cheesecake. The family is divided over whether lamb or ham is appropriate, so we have both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 [quote name='GeorgiiMichael' timestamp='1333828627' post='2414083'] Why is it super bad for non-Jews to keep kosher? I've never heard that before. It doesn't seem to make sense. I mean, I understand why we don't have to keep kosher, but I don't know why it would be BAD for us to do so. [/quote] I'm not sure about the details, but I've been told by a couple different professors that it has something to do with it being a sign of the covenant between God and the Jews, and since we're not Jews, keeping kosher is kinda like lying. I don't know how much of that is personal theological opinion and how much is "fact," but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm fairly certain Basilia Marie was referencing Christian theologians and professors, and by the virtue of Christianity being a continuation of the Jewish tradition, adopting some of the customs that the Jews had before Christ is really just recognizing our religious heritage. Also, I feel like keeping Kosher, and celebrating a Seder meal are separate things. Eating Kosher is about dietary habits those who practice Judaism must also practice, whereas a Seder meal is a distinctly worshipful religious practice.

cmotherofpirl Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think its fine to understand a Seder, but I think since Jesus replaced it with the Last Supper, we don't need to participate in them except possibly in a school setting to appreciate the closeness and continuity of the service to the Mass. The Jews object to our participation because it is their burden before God, not ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Worthy of ridicule, eh? Them's fightin' words. I'll have a go. Yes, I may be referring to Christian professors, but the fact that they have a personal declaration of belief for a few different Christian traditions doesn't change the fact that they know things about Judaism. That they're [i]experts [/i]in the field of scripture. I'm not just talking about the Christian feminist biblical scholar at the Mount, but my Romanian Orthodox Patristics scholar here in Dayton as well. It's not "recognizing our religious heritage." That cheapens the very real covenant the Jews have with God (note the intentional present tense). Keeping kosher is part of the Law, which is part of that covenant. It's a sign of a particular people. Christ is the new covenant...we are part of this covenant. The Apostles decided that when they decided that Gentiles didn't first have to become Jewish to follow Christ, that they did not need to circumcise nor follow the Law in the way Jews do. Keeping kosher is part of a particular worshipful [i]lifestyle. [/i]Ergo, not that different from Seder. [quote][color=#282828]The Jews object to our participation because it is their burden before God, not ours.[/color][/quote] ^ THAT. THAT IS WHAT I MEAN. We don't follow the Law because of THAT.^ Cmom - do you want to split this off? I don't want to thread hijack, and I don't know how long this is going to go.
