To clear up a two-year-old thread: no, I didn't do it manually, but the data was not on the Board of Studies web site. It was extracted from PDFs on the SMH web site. And no, not manually =) Yes, James, I know how to program. But you knew that =P

Which is an absolute load of bullshit.

I am sorry that this conversation is going on off-topic... still I'll reply briefly. I have heard this too. But it depends on what you define as Orthodox. The Ultra-Orthodox may hold to this view, but often could not afford a pet. I know many Modern-Orthodox households with pets, dogs, cats...

More, even if you're only counting restaurants and not yet bakers, butchers, etc. Oh, but groceries, yes I guess there are two. This I don't know. I heard there's some shop of South African ownership that sells kosher food but not exclusively (ie also non-kosher food)... but i don't know...

Well I don't actually know any other Christines (which is surprising; I do know a Christina) and that's the signed name. It also has my name at the beginnig and my address on the back. If I look for other letters of years ago, I could test the handwriting. It's not postmarked, for some reason...

Wow. I shed a tear. Who would have thought that my rant could bring about a reunion?

I think our only option is buried... I've never heard of the other two. Interesting. I wasn't sure if others had it. Well, to two (or more) different levels. The scroll of the Five Books of Moses (the Torah or Pentateuch, part of the "Old Testament" as Christians call it) - called a "sefer...

I thought Alaikum means upon you, not upon him/them? Anyway, it doesn't matter. That's alright: it's a bit confusing! No, in prayer we do make reference. But while "Allah" means the word "G-d", according to the Hebrew bible, there is also an actual name for G-d, which we do not say; the...

Well there used to be two in Sydney. Now I think there's one. So no huge surprise. There are a few general supermarkets around that have a kosher foods section, particularly in some parts of the Eastern Suburbs, the North Shore and I think one Coles in the city.

Ok... What can be said about Moses? I guess he is not more than a prophet. He is seen as a leader unlike any other, and a role model, particularly in his character of humility. In the closing words of the Torah (the Pentateuch at least) Deuteronomy 34:10 says "there has not risen another prophet...

WHOOPS!!! I meant it the other way! All Kosher food is Halal, but not the other way.... I'm editing the original... Ouch. I hadn't had enough sleep. My usual excuse. And eljay, if you want to join a movement, then do!

Could say that. Wow. You guys all still hang out here. How... pleasant =P Christine, forgot to say thank you for your lovely and unexpected postcard of ages ago!!! Menu is made up of horrible undecipherable code... which is what it's meant to be. Atm I have a software assignment and report...

Oh lovely James, I have previously made such requests and they have not been answered... What can I do? I do much the same broke work as you, too. I might have a hack at the menu, but first I have to get over its dauntingness... - Joel

Maybe Mr Benstock teaches them how to answer, but he doesn't say what's in the paper, I'm sure! And that's what HSC teachers do at good schools, in all subjects: tell the students what to expect on a paper and how to answer it.

I'm Jewish I practice my Judaism I am a leader in a youth movement where I teach about it

not to mention good teachers, good (if excessive) school-work ethic, and compulsory related subjects from primary school...

I don't know what you mean here... In order to be Jewish according to Orthodox rabbinic rules, a male must be circumcised, a process which by necessity includes the drawing of blood. If a male is already circumcised when converting to Judaism, blood is nonetheless drawn in order to fulfill the...

To answer a few questions: Kosher food and fish without scales Kosher food does not only relate to the foods one can eat, but how it is prepared, etc. Animals have to be slaughtered in a certain way, and only by people who have the right intention and should be someone with a kind disposition...

sounds like nonsense to me. as in the answers to the exams before they come out? no, i can tell you I know people involved in writing the Classical Hebrew exams and basically you have heard lies. - Joel
