If you don't understand the difference and why it matters you can't say "talking about Israel"
For reference:
Am Yisrael are the People of Israel, aka Jews. (Yisrael being Jacob)
Eretz Yisrael is the land where we we're from & became a people.
Medinat Yisrael is the modern State of Israel.
Do you mean Ersetzt Yisrael, Medinat Yisrael, or Am Yisrael?
How could anyone who knows anything about Judaism assume he isn't an Orthodox Jew?
You've got a bunch of Jews telling you you don't understand what you're talking about. Maybe try listening.
It's not relevant to Jews at all. It's Christian scripture.
Don't even get me started on languages :)
I'm pretty confident that my French is solidly mid to upper B1 and my Spanish is lower B1, my German isn't even A1 anymore. And I keep thinking I should really pick up Hebrew.

When someone (usually not Jewish) starts talking about Zionism I first ask them to define what they mean by Zionism (if I get involved in the discussion at all, which is really rare) because I'm willing to bet that they mean something different than most Jews do.
#MathSky and #ScienceSky, what's a good site for tutorials on calculus for someone who hasn't looked at it since about 1985 or so and wants to brush up on the stuff I actually used to know (physics) for my degree?
Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it.
Anyway: fund basic research.
The Illuminatus! books, although I had the 3 paperbacks.
I'm *Jewish* and that has me blinking in amazement.
Oh, man, I remember these
Loved this one! I wish I knew where my copy went to.
True! And it's not like it would cost me anything extra since we already have memberships as Teton County residents.
We have an excellent indoor climbing gym here at the rec center and I've often thought about trying it and then I remember how much I hate heights. (Seriously, one of the reasons I stopped snowboarding was that I didn't want to ride the chairlift!)
I... what?
Interesting thread
We use smoked salt, garlic granules, and some nooch. It's super yum!
The problem with reading physics books is that I'm painfully aware of how my math has degenerated over the years.
The most embarrassing court in the US, even worse than the current SCOTUS.
I'm curious where they're from

Frankly, I'm not convinced that's an accurate statement. The Mets probably COULD lose on an off day.
That only applies to Republican presidents, silly.
LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
