Hey, thanks guys. I don't think this thread would have gotten very far without you but you have certainly proven to be a driving force here. I have learned more from you than I have from most of my own folk which is saying something. My Elders rarely reach outside of the Hebrew unless it comes from source varified as internal to our own cultural traditions and history. In that they are rather jealous in guarding as much as are the Jews in guarding their own traditions and identity. I find it rather amazing that two distinctly different peoples can come to the same points in their thinking without any coercion on the part of either party. The Jews have their history and my folk have theirs and the two are not the same but there are some amazing parallels in our experiences through out history. I can only conclude that it is because we are all human and that commonality is what binds us together.
