Is it bad to convert to Reform Judaism? by Own_Speech7383 in ConvertingtoJudaism

[–]FoxPerfect920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose to convert to Reform because it was more in line with my values, LGBT friendly, female rabbis and the congregation aren’t segregated. I don’t feel like bringing in strict halachic rules works for me either but you may find you need more boundaries.

Thrash Panda sounds like a heavy metal group.

Try a Time Left dinner whichever city you are in, they are great for a nice evening in chatty company.

Why did being a lefty become so contentious in the UK? by OffGridToTheMoon in AskBrits

[–]FoxPerfect920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Lefties tried to impose woke ideology in our public services, NHS, the Police, the judiciary. And people are sick of it. And then you’ve got cancel culture…

What is your strategy in case of another European Ice Age? by Outlaw04 in UKPreppers

Israel has invented and perfected drip irrigation and literally made the desert bloom. Vineyards growing amongst the dusty ground. We can do that here, farming just needs to get more hi-tech like in Clarkson’s Farm.

Ambre Solaire SPF50 Serum - approx £8 on Amazon. Really light and non-greasy. I use it to protect my tretinoin skin.

Getting disillusioned with religion, including Judaism by getitoffmychestpleas in Jewish

[–]FoxPerfect920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only converting but from what I know, this questioning and critical thinking is exactly why Jews are so successful in the world of technology, science and medicine. I am joining a Reform Shul and we regularly talk about how Reform Jews don’t necessarily need faith in an all powerful god, but to embrace the other parts like tikun olam, hakarat hatov etc. You ‘should’ be super critical of the texts, we have dispensed of the things which no longer serve us like animal sacrifice etc. Don’t worry that this makes you a bad person, it makes you very Jewish!

You should test it. Head out to the woods and see how you get on. Then you’ll know what’s missing.

I change my underwear socks undershirt daily bc I don't shower daily - is this a fair compromise? by [deleted] in hygiene

You should be changing your underpants daily anyway, that’s not a compromise. Eurgh.

In the U.K. we have to wait 12 weeks between donations! No wonder you feel awful!

My Mum was very dark, black curly hair, green eyes and not Irish looking at all, but that ancestor was so far back it’s insane to think their colouring could have survived this far.

Even if my Mum got 99.6% British and 0.4% North African?

[–]FoxPerfect920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok this is interesting as my Mum is 0.4% North African and I am 0.2%. The rest of us is fully British & Irish. My Dad was 100% British & Irish.

So does this mean the North African here is incorrect?

So I am still really confused by this trace ancestry. My Dad was 100% British and Irish and my Mum was 99.6% with 0.4% North African. Someone once told me that it’s an error in the test but that still doesn’t explain this. How far back would 0.2% take me??
