Yeah, the stuff about a woman being unclean while she menstruates in the first couple books of the Bible is fucking hillarious. Not even the Jews by into that stuff, and they follow the Old Testament much more strictly.

 

Actually, Jews do "buy into this stuff".  Observant Jews (aka, Orthodox Jews) actually do observe the different mitzvot concerning women purifying in the mikvah after a woman menstruates... so while the average non-observant Jew may not care for following the 613 mitzvot, observant Jews take the laws of Torah very literally and seriously.

Really? That's fucking nuts. Do they do that thing I mentioned with the religious intolerance and the swords?

@appolose

What do you mean by "converts"?

 

 

No, a frum (osbservant) Jew does not concern themselves with the actions of other people.  They are worried about their own direct family, and not what the goyim (non-Jews) do.

That's why you'll never see an Orthodox Jew try and convert someone... The "Old Testament" or Tanach as it's known in Hebrew is very specific that non-Jews don't have to convert to Judaism to be considered righteous before God... all a non-Jew is required to do is follow 7 rules to fall into the category of righteousness (in contrast to a Jew, who is expected to follow 613 laws).

But should a non-Jew decide to not be observant of those laws, you'll never see a Jew cry foul, because they know that it's none of their business.  That's between them and their maker....
