theyellowhobbitOn Thursday our Communities class project is due. We're writing a wikipedia entry on the Seneca Women's Peace Encampent (or whatever we're calling it, since it had many names.) I think we're finishing work on it in class tomorrow, and then on Thursday it goes up on the net.
Playing with wiki formatting is quite fun. And so is editing in general. I was looking up the links to make sure I had them right, and on the page for vegetarianism, I made some changes. They talk about vegetarianism in religious contexts, including Judaism, and I edited the Jewish part.
The Original:
In the Jewish religion people are allowed to consume meat, with restrictions. Jews are not permitted to consume meat and dairy products in the same meal, this is considered part of keeping kosher. They are also not supposed to eat pork or shellfish at all. There are some in the Jewish community that believe it to be a religious obligation to eat meat on the Sabbath and on holidays. However, it is generally accepted that its ok not to eat meat on those days as well. When the temple stood in Jerusalem every Passover, everyone was obligated to eat meat at the Passover Offering. Today, some Jews choose not to eat meat simply due to the difficulty of finding Kosher meat or poultry in areas far from established Jewish communities.

Jews are not permitted to consume meat and dairy products in the same meal, as this is one of the laws of kashrut (keeping kosher). They are also not allowed to eat any pork or shellfish. There are some in the Jewish community that believe it to be a religious obligation to eat meat on the Sabbath and on holidays (and there are some opinions in the Gemara that state this as well). However, it is generally accepted that it is okay not to eat meat on those days, if one does not enjoy it. When the Temple stood in Jerusalem, every Passover everyone was obligated to eat meat at the Passover Offering. Today, some Jews choose not to eat meat simply due to the difficulty of finding Kosher meat or poultry in areas far from established Jewish communities.

I'm noticing more grammatical errors, which I might fix later. Stupid GRE verbal taking over my brain!

My how people love to quote out of context. There is actually a wikipedia article (http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9F_%D7%A9%D7%9E%D7%97%D7%94_%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%90_%D7%91%D7%91%D7%A9%D7%A8_%D7%95%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9F) on this, but I haven't finished reading it yet.
