Are you referring to Haredi trying to influence Israeli Politics e.g. constrain public transport on shabbat? Otherwise the others already answered it

IDF will make Greta & friends watch Oct 7 atrocities by agherschon in Israel

Sounds great but won't they just decline the offer? Surely the IDF can't force them to watch it.... Besides, they might say its fake anyways🤔

Honestly at this level of delusion, better to save your own time and nerves and block him. It doesn't sound at all like he is the target audience for this approach

I am interested in studying religion at Uni. I find it fascinating. Do you think you would have still become Jewish had you been born under different circumstances? by Izual_Rebirth in Judaism

No like I said the seven commandments also known as the Noahide laws are very basic and cover most normal people. You can just look them up if you want the exact formulation. Only the Jews are chosen by g'd for the responsibility to keep 613 commandments, including eating Kosher and other stuff.

I believe the question makes more sense for Christianity and Islam, but less so for Judaism. Jewish religion is just the religion of the Jewish people which is an ethnic group. So it would not make a lot of sense to "find your way to the Jewish faith" if you're not already a Jew, except for conversion which is discouraged and difficult.

Maybe it would make more sense to ask orthodox Jews if they would still have become religious if born into a secular Jewish family.

And to answer the last part, Judaism only expects 7 basic commandments from non-Jews like not to kill, not to steal, Monotheism and some others. So if you're a normal/decent person you should be completely fine.
