Every month, Jewish women have to insert a white cloth into their vaginas to see if there is any blood on the cloth. The moment a woman finds any blood stain on her cloth, she is then regarded as unclean. Ultra Orthodox Jewish women, cannot have sex for 12 days every month, which are the 5 days of menstruation and 7 days after. When all bleeding stops, a woman must examine herself internally, twice a day, in the morning as well as in the afternoon to check there is no further bleeding. Once she is satisfied that the bleeding has stopped, she then counts seven consecutive days. (this is known as clean days) After she has completed the seven day count, she must then go to a mikvah, (a ritual bath) to immerse herself. Only after she has been to the mikvah and has immersed herself in the water, she is then allowed to have sex with her husband again. What happens while a woman has her periods? While she has her periods, husbands are not allowed to touch their wives and they cannot sit together on the same couch. The wife is not even permitted to cook for her husband and cannot serve him any food or drink. Husbands and wives must sleep on separate beds. There are some couples who even sleep in different rooms. Did you know a husband and wife cannot have sex for six months after the birth of a baby? When a woman gives birth to a baby, she is not allowed to hand the baby to her husband. She must ask a nurse to pass their newborn baby over to her husband. After giving birth, the couple cannot have sex for six months. What happens if a woman has her periods on her wedding night? The bride must plan her wedding date so that she will not have her periods on her wedding night. When does a woman wear white underwear and when does she wear coloured underwear? A woman should wear white underwear during the entire time that she is counting the seven clean days and she should also put clean white sheets on her bed. After her periods are over, when she can again resume sexual intercourse with her husband, it is the custom for women to wear coloured underwear. Is it true that a woman must show her underwear or vaginal cloth to the Rabbi? If a woman finds a blood stain on her vaginal cloth or on her underwear, she takes her vaginal cloth or her underwear to the Rabbi, who decides if she is ready to resume sexual relations with her husband. The Rabbi will measure the size of the blood stain to determine the woman’s condition. Why are Jewish women not allowed to show men their elbows or their knees? Women wear long dresses to cover their knees…they also wear long sleeves to hide their elbows. They believe that men get ‘turned on’ and aroused if they were to see either their uncovered elbows or knees…so not to tempt them and to display modesty, they cover up. Can any Rabbi circumcise a Jewish baby boy? Only a Rabbi who has studied and specialised in the laws of circumcision can perform the task. He is called a ‘mohel’. Why is Jewish sexual intercourse different? Ultra-Orthodox Jews believe that the act of sexual intercourse is meant solely for pro-creation and sperm should not be wasted. That is why they do not use any form of contraception. It is not unusual to find Jewish married couples who are the parents of 20 or more children. Why will Ultra-Orthodox Jews not listen to a woman singing? Reform Jews have women singing in their choirs at the Synagogues, but in Ultra-Orthodox Synagogues, women are not permitted to join the choir. A woman’s singing voice is regarded as sensual which can distract or tempt a man. So Barbra Streisand (who is a Jewess) or any other female recording artist music CD’s, will never be heard by UltraOrthodox Jews. Do Jewish married women wear wigs? When they go out, married Jewish women wear wigs to hide their own hair and beauty from other men. Only their own husbands are allowed to see the natural beauty of their wife’s hair. Single Jewish women do not have to wear wigs. What is a ‘get’? When a Jew gets divorced they must appear before the Jewish court of law, known as the Beth Din. A ‘Get’ is a document issued by the Beth Din which is given by the husband to his wife when they get divorced. The couple go through a ritual which often involves one partner spitting in the face of the other partner to prove that they no longer want to continue being married to their partner. In addition to appearing before the Jewish court of law, the couple must still also enter into the divorce procedure according to the laws of the country they are living in. What is the mikva or public bath? After a woman has completed her menstrual cycle, she goes to a public bath, known as a mikva. The immersion of her body in the water is a symbol of spiritual and body purification. Did you know there are no swear words in Hebrew? Hebrew is the holy divine language of God and there are no swear words in Hebrew. Israelis use Arabic swear words. How do Jews go about dating to meet the opposite sex? The parents of Ultra-Orthodox Jews arrange with each other to have their children meet one another for a refreshment drink in the lounge of a hotel. After a short period of time, perhaps half-an-hour, the son goes back to his parents and the daughter goes home with her parents to report and discuss the merits of their first time introductions. If they are pleased with each other, the parents arrange the date of the wedding. Ultra-orthodox Jews do not get engaged. Does the Rabbi suck the blood from a newborn baby’s penis? This is not a commandment in the Bible but it is a commandment of the Babylonian Talmud that a Rabbi should suck the blood from the circumcised penis of the infant child. What does the Rabbi do with the foreskins? Some parents choose to keep the foreskins which the Rabbi parcels up for them, but most parents choose to have the foreskins buried according to the Jewish tradition. Do Jews have sex through a hole in a sheet? No, this is not true. However, the Talmud prohibits sexual intercourse during the day or by the light of a lamp (Niddah 17). Rabbis consider that the best time for sexual intercourse is at midnight in complete darkness. The Rabbis are in favour of the missionary position with the woman being on top and the man below, or alternatively the man could be above the woman. (Gittin 70a). For Jews, the purpose of sex is procreation. (Mishnah Torah Issurei Biah 21:9) Sperm is not allowed to be wasted. Why are Jewish women not allowed to touch or read a Bible? The Bible or Torah is a holy sacred book, and when women are experiencing their menstrual cycle they are in an unclean state….because we do not know when a women is having her periods, the Rabbis have made a law that a woman cannot touch or read the Bible as she would be defiling the sanctity and purity of the Holy Book in her unclean condition. So, what must a woman do if she wants to read God’s Word?…she has to ask her husband, her father, her brother or any man to read the Bible to her. Why do Jews take a live chicken and swing it above their heads? On the day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), Ultra Orthodox Jews take a live chicken and wave it above their heads three times, believing that all their sins are transferred to the chicken. Did you know that some Jews are not allowed to go to a cemetery? Today, Jews have been divided into three distinct Jewish groups namely Kohens, Levis and Yisraels. The Kohens, who are the descendants of the priests of ancient Israel, are not allowed to visit cemeteries because contact with the dead would render them impure. They are also forbidden from flying over cemeteries. The Israeli airline, El-Al, does not fly over cemeteries. Have you heard about the special way Jews are supposed to put on their shoes? The Code of Jewish Law (Shulchan Aruch) has a specific order for Jews of how to put on their shoes, mentioning that the right shoe should be put on first. To tie the laces of the shoes, the custom is to begin with the laces of the left shoe. Did you know Jews are not allowed to wear garments of wool and linen together? The Torah forbids Jews to wear any type of garment or fabric that contains both wool and linen. "Do not wear wool and linen together" (Deut. 22:11) "A wool and linen garment should not cover you" (Lev. 19:19) Especially, the area underneath the collar of men’s suits should be checked. When linen is found under the collar, it must be removed and replaced with non- linen material. With regard to women’s clothing, the label should tell you if the garment contains wool and linen. Women’s clothing may contain linen on the collar of a blazer or jacket, in the seam binding or an appliqué on the garment. Why do Jewish boys not cut their hair growing from their temples? The Torah forbids a man to cut the hair on the corners of his head (the temple and sideburns), as well as not to remove the corners of his beard. "You shall not round off the peyos of your head" (Leviticus 19:27). Are you aware that certain electric shavers are not allowed to be used by Jews? According to the website www.koshershaver.org the ‘lift’ mechanism of an electric razor does not adhere to the laws of the Torah and must be removed from a ‘lift and cut’ shaver. Did you know that Jewish boys only have their first haircut at the age of three? A Jewish boy does not have his hair cut until he is three years old. This is a custom followed by Ultra Orthodox Jews. What are some of the laws that women must obey? Men and women must sit separately and not dance with each other at Ultra Orthodox Jewish weddings. In Orthodox synagogues, men and women must pray in separate areas. Women cannot read the Torah aloud at the Western Wall (which men can do). Married women have to conceal their hair. Some women wear scarves but most women wear wigs. Why can’t Ultra Orthodox men shake hands with a woman? Any kind of touching is forbidden between men and women. Ultra-Orthodox men will not sit next to a woman on a plane. Women have been attacked, insulted, spat upon on the streets of Jerusalem by Ultra-Orthodox men for wearing jeans, slacks and showing their arms. Women must wear long sleeves to hide their elbows and long dresses or skirts to hide their knees. Why do Jews pay a lot of money for a citrus fruit called an etrog? An etrog which is a lemon-like citrus fruit is part of the ceremony and observance in the festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot). The Rabbis examine very closely the outside skin of each etrog fruit for markings or imperfections. The very best etrog, one that has no blemishes commands the highest price. What do some Jews experience difficulties in synagogue? At the synagogue services, most Jews find it difficult to follow the Hebrew reading in the Jewish Prayer Book (because they can’t understand Hebrew). So what do they do? They often look at the man in front of them to see what page number he is on..and then they check to see if the man sitting next to them is on the same page. The reading of the different portions in the synagogue service is often a race between congregants to see who can get finished first. Did you know that Jews are given a list of the brands of foods they are allowed to buy? The Jewish Court of Law, known as the Beth Din have inspectors that go around to companies manufacturing various kinds of foods. According to the company’s adherence to the Jewish kosher laws, the food brands are given the Beth Din mark or stamp of approval which is printed on the outside packaging of the food product. The different brands of manufactured foods, detergents and toiletries are listed in a booklet published by the Beth Din and made freely available to the Jewish community. What happens if a scroll of the Torah is dropped? The entire congregation is supposed to observe a 12 hour fast for a whole month. What happens to Torah scrolls that are old? When Torah scrolls become too old to be used, they are buried. What happens if there are mistakes made while writing the Torah scrolls? The Torah scrolls are written by hand with a quill by a Rabbi (Scribe) who has studied and specialised in the art of writing a Torah Scroll. If a mistake is made while writing any of the Hebrew letters, the entire scroll with the flaws is then buried and will not be used. How do you witness about Jesus Christ to a Jew? Jews know that Jesus Christ is not the real name of the Son of God, so instead of telling Jews about Jesus, rather tell them about Yahshua which is the Hebrew name of Jesus. Can you sit anywhere in the synagogue on a Jewish holiday? Orthodox Jews have separate seating in a synagogue. Women sit upstairs and men sit downstairs. There is no collection of tithes or offerings during a synagogue service…so instead Jews pay membership subscription fees to belong to a Synagogue. There is a high attendance of worshippers going to synagogue on the Jewish Holy Days, and seats are reserved in the names of members who have paid their yearly subscription fees. If you do not belong to a synagogue, then you look for a seat that is vacant and which has not been reserved. Do Jewish men dance together with women? At an Ultra Orthodox wedding, men sit together on the one side of the room with the women sitting together on the other side of the hall. When the music plays, the men join together and form a circle and enthusiastically dance the ‘hora’. The groom is seated on a chair and is lifted up high in the air by several of the men. The ladies then come together to dance the hora in their own separate circle, together with the bride. A long ribbon is given to the bride and the other end of the ribbon is held by the groom while they are both carried along through the dance. Ultra Orthodox Jewish men and women never dance together with each other. Why can’t women sit together with their husbands in the synagogue? In an Orthodox synagogue, the women sit upstairs or away from the men but in a Reform synagogue, men and women sit together. The women do not partake in the service in an Orthodox synagogue but are observers. In a Reform synagogue, they even have women or girls in their choir but the choir in the Orthodox synagogue is only male. Most of the Old Testament is not studied by Jews…why? The priority of every Jew is to first and foremost study the 5 books of Moses, known as the Torah. The books of the remaining prophets such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Daniel are not studied because they are regarded as not as important as the Torah. Why do some Jewish men not work and instead let their wives go out to work? It is considered an honour for a husband to devote his weekday work hours to study Torah. The wives are proud of their husband’s Scripture study commitment and they are happy to go out to work as the bread-winner. Why are Jews not allowed to eat cheese- burgers? The kosher laws state that one should not eat milk products with meat products and that all milk and meat dishes, pots and pans, and utensils should be kept separate. Washing dishes is also done separately in two different sinks. Some Jews have 2 fridges and some even have 2 microwaves...one to be used for meat dishes and the other to be used for dairy dishes like cheese, yogurt or egg dishes. Do Jews have to pay for a seat in a synagogue? During the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana) as well as on the day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), Jews cannot sit anywhere they like in the synagogue. The seats in the synagogue are allocated to the congregants who have paid for their seats. What are you not allowed to do on the Sabbath? Orthodox Jews are not allowed to drive on the Sabbath. Smoking on the Sabbath is also forbidden by Orthodox Jews. Cooking is not permitted. You are not allowed to handle money. You cannot watch television, listen to the radio or read a newspaper. Writing is forbidden. Telephones cannot be answered. Cutting your nails or hair is not allowed. You cannot switch on lights. Before the Sabbath begins, Jews have pre-set timers which are used to automatically turn the lights on and off. What happens before Passover in a Jewish home? Before Passover, the whole house is cleaned thoroughly...they move the furniture searching for bread crumbs which is forbidden in the home during Passover...they even clean their walls. There is a game the father plays with his children to encourage them to participate and search for breadcrumbs...the father uses a spoon as a dust-pan, and a feather as the broom and a candle to search for the crumbs. Bread, known as Chometz, is sold to a gentile for the duration of the Passover. No cakes or cookies can be eaten during the time of Passover. THANK YOU FOR JESUS Be the someone who stands up for Jesus Be the person who thanks God for daily blessings Be the voice who talks about the victory of the cross Be the heart who loves to serve God. What is the value of the gift of Jesus? When you think about it just how amazing it truly is that God gave His very own blood to get us saved from our sins Nothing as big as the sacrifice of Jesus has ever been done for us. The value of the gift of Jesus is much greater than all the wealth of the world. In this world of uncertainty There is a very real true guarantee Jesus is coming back for His bride. Put your trust in Jesus Christ He is the only way to eternal life Jesus is our purpose, our safe refuge and foundation Love God extravagantly and thank God for Jesus. My secret was discovered 'Where's Bernard?' my Uncle asked my Dad...doesn't he want some cake and a cold-drink? 'There he is, at the pool, reading a book'. 'Bernard, what book are you reading?' 'Uncle, I'm reading the Bible and reading all about Jesus' 'What! Does your father know what you are reading?' 'I want you to get yourself off my property...right now...immediately...I'll get your father to take you home...I will not have anyone reading about Jesus on my property!' My family does not want to know me because I believe in Jesus. You see, I was brought up in the Jewish faith and Jewish people are not allowed to read the New Testament and they do not believe in Jesus. Because of this, the Jewish people do not celebrate Christmas or Easter...instead they celebrate the Holy Days recorded in the Old Testament like Passover, Day of Atonement and the Festival of First Fruits. MY MOTHER WAS THE ONLY CHILD OF RABBI KESSLER, WHO ORIGINALLY CAME FROM POLAND. At the age of 13, according to the Jewish custom, I had my Barmitzvah (coming of age for a Jewish boy). At school, the Jewish children left the class-room whenever we had Bible Studies...the Jewish boys usually played soccer until we were all called in back to class for the next subject. I started reading about Jesus at the age of 14 and was immediately attracted by the purity of His words overflowing with love. My dad passed away and at my father's funeral, the officiating Rabbi came up to me and asked me to pray a certain specific prayer for my father. I told the Rabbi that I was willing to do so, but that I would have to pray 'in the name of Jesus'. The Rabbi said that this could not be allowed so my Dad's brother said that he would recite the prayer. His daughter then shouted out loudly: 'You a traitor to the Jewish nation!' After the funeral, no one wanted to associate themselves with me and everyone just walked away and left without saying a word to me. The first time I went to Church, was when I was in my forties....I was too scared to let the Jewish people know I believed in Jesus. I was also confused and never knew which Church to go to...I couldn't understand why there were so many different Christian Churches and what the difference was between them all...I heard some the names of the Churches like Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Protestant, 7th Day Adventist, etc but it all seemed so strange to me. I read about a Bible Correspondence Course and began receiving the lessons and submitting my answers that were marked and corrected. My Christian book library started growing rapidly and I loved learning all I could know about Jesus. The beautiful gift of Jesus I feel very privileged and blessed that I was chosen to discover the absolute truth about Jesus...that Jesus really is the Son of God and that He gave his life to suffer and die for my sins....and that He is coming back as my Messiah. I am so very, very grateful for all that Jesus has done for me. I thank Jesus everyday for His immense love, kindness and grace. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD, OR THAT ANYONE CAN OFFER ME, THAT IS BETTER THAN JESUS.

Conclusion You will be shocked if you think the Jews are following the Scriptures (Torah). Not only do the Jews have to obey God’s holy laws as recorded in the Scriptures, but the Jews must also obey and keep all the man-made laws of the Rabbis. Jesus Christ (Himself a Jew) rebuked the Jewish people by telling them “By the traditions of your elders you make void the Word of God.” (Matthew 15). The man-made laws of the Rabbis are a heavy burden that the Jews are unable to completely fulfill. When will Jews realise that God will not punish them if they answer their phones, or cook their food on the Sabbath. I am so blessed and I don’t have to wonder like the Jews do, who the real true Messiah is. There are hundreds of Bible prophecies which have already been fulfilled proving that Jesus Christ is the coming Messiah. I am so deeply grateful to be freed from all the man-made laws of the Rabbis, and I can live by the grace of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Jesus said : ‘No one comes to the Father, but through me.’ Please pray for the Jewish people that they will open their hearts to the truth and blessings of Jesus. My Prayer for You Let the beautiful love of Jesus bring joy to your day the hope of Jesus fill you with peace the truth of Jesus give you new light the miracles of Jesus bless you. Let the kindness of Jesus touch your heart the promises of Jesus give you new breath the teachings of Jesus feed your soul the power of Jesus strengthen you. Let the grace of Jesus heal your mind the warmth of Jesus encourage you the help of Jesus fulfil your needs and bring you closer to Him. PRECIOUS JESUS Whenever you're needing help and don't know what to do Give your heart to Jesus He will help you make it through You can always depend on Jesus His power is Almighty You will see amazing miracles coming true just for you! The Beauty of God’s Love God is amazing He chooses every baby's DNA and blood type He puts every star in place to float in the sky He creates every fingerprint with a rare design He makes an egg to burst open with life.
