To a person, guess what they wanted for dinner? You got it, pork! Grinning. Its a treat they didn't get to often in Israel, so boy, they got carnitas, and ham and everything else I can think of! *********** This may sound dumb but what the heck! Is pork sold in Israel? I mean, is there a pig anywhere there? I'm trying to think what else pigs are good for (besides a good BLT, LOL) but I can't think of anything! The subject reminds me of something. My good friend, , converted when she married a Jewish guy. She said of all names to be named at birth it just HAD to be ! Anyway, she's taught me alot about the traditions and I'm just fascinated by it all. I am so naive, though. I was shocked when she said Jews don't believe Jesus was the son of God. I thought she was kidding! When I asked her if Jews thought Jesus existed at all, she said that, yes, but they thought he was just a " cool dude " instead of son of God. (I think she was dumbing it down so I'd understand!) Anyway, not remembering the majority of the world doesn't think Jesus was God's son, I ran to my church and asked the Father (I'm Church of England, otherwise known as Catholic-lite) what happens to people who deny Jesus as the Son - what happens when they die? Do they go to heaven too? Seriously, I was afraid for them! I just couldn't believe that Barbra Streisand, Albert Einstein, and so many others wouldn't/didn't go to Heaven! Even my friend I was worried about her too and her future kids, etc.! Father told me it's ok - ANYONE who is " good " will go there. Whew, what a relief! I didn't post this to start religious wars, etc. but rather to tell a sort of humerous story. Truly, I hope I haven't offended anyone. But the pork thing brought back these memories and I wanted to share. ===== Dee Waiting for Ins. Co.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Alyssa, My best friend actually had a rather upscale restaurant in Tel Aviv. they had pork but he said it was a pain in the arse as there were many who would not work with it in the kitchens. So, just public pressure made it tough! Theresa > This may sound dumb but what the heck! Is pork sold > in Israel? I mean, is there a pig anywhere there?
