Thanks Midwest2, that’s a great input.
I don’t know why you had to spill ink on this which is not the main point at all, but Wikipedia is available at your fingertips.
“White people is a racial classification specifier, used for people of Caucasian ancestry, with the exact implications dependent on context. The usage of “white people” or a “white race” for a large group of (mainly European) populations, defined besides other characteristics by their light skin and contrasting with “black people”, Native Americans, “colored” or “persons of color” originated in the 17th century. ”People who ask those questions do need to look at themselves in the mirror and do some soul-searching.
I have had a woman in shul point to a new guy at our shul saying we should get a shidduch without either of us knowing that guy – JUST BECAUSE WE’RE BOTH NON-WHITE JEWS. I almost stopped breathing!off topic but I heard over Shabbes from someone from the UK that in his kehillah there’s an eruv but no one carries within it and if anyone does, he will even be denied an aliyah!!!
You can always have politics, eruv or no eruv… I tend to think that having an eruv is always safer – if you can afford to arrange for all that property ownership…
It’s so nice that you guys have such cute stories! I only have experienced/heard sad stories… BS”D not anymore in future!
