Judaism For Dummies
Judaism isn’t a race or even a particular culture or ethnic group. There are about 13 or 14 million Jews spread around the world, including about 6 million in the United States and about 5 million in Israel – so Judaism clearly isn’t “a nation.” So what does it mean to be Jewish?

Void Where Prohibited
As Void Where Prohibited begins, Ralph is hopelessly in debt.

The other thread focuses on Bonnie's family: their loving and supportive relationships, the...
