The Shulchan Aruch says that if a Jew refuses to eat hot food on Shabbos, you can suspect them of heresy. I have found the few people I know to meet the criteria to be heretics.Eternal Jewish Fraud Watchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-82953436049454675902009-11-09T22:26:58.427+02:002009-11-09T22:26:58.427+02:00Everyone can prove their Jewishness if needed.

I guess such a lack of devotion to yichus is good cause to question his ancestry - it seems at least a serious as not liking cholent.Larry Lennhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578073969473815180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-44346988165408914082009-11-09T05:46:06.365+02:002009-11-09T05:46:06.365+02:00In spite of all the fears and rhetoric, it seems t...In spite of all the fears and rhetoric, it seems that she actually had no problems afterall.
