Her reply after that was: "I bet Yitzhak (Isaac) needed therapy after that one!" (lol)

Laugher is the best medicine.

Interesting how different kids take to the Biblical stories. I enjoyed reading them as a child but it never occurred to me that they were supposed to be taken literally. I attended Forman Hebrew Day school ... along time ago ... if you know it. I don't recall any of the students being quite so ... religious. Maybe it's a different crowd than maybe say Akiba.

My daughter is involved with a very Orthodox school, not even "modern Orthodox"...so yes, a very different crowd!

Exclamation Final warning/admonishment.

It would seem that a number of users here are not able to refrain from personal attacks, name-calling and inflammatory posts. These users have been or will be warned/ reminded of the rules here and principles of basic interpersonnal courtesy.

Closing the thread, deleting inflammatory posts that violate the rules here, andfurther disciplining or recommending consideration of removal of PB memberships are a last resort but that is the next step if common courtesy and respectful dialogue cannot be effectively restored.

Thank you.
