Iggy here:

Abigail, I would like to publicly thank you for setting the record
straight on the nature of the Yad and the proper treatment of the Jewish
holy books.

It has been most enlightening.  (For me, my only real education I've
gotten about these things has been when I still lived in California:
from that Jewish GF I had and the Jewish friends we associated with, a
bank customer who owned a Kosher store and deli back when I was a bank
teller and would ask him questions occasionally, and... errr... one of
my favorite movies, "The Frisco Kid...")

Believe it or not, I'd actually be likely to have asked about more
information directly from a Rabbi... if I could actually find a
Synagogue in the phone book here in Northern Alabama.  (I've gotten into
a few discussions about Christianity down here... It's easy to find
Christians and their ministers here... It's just a little hard to find
ones open minded enough to have an in-depth conversation about relative
theological theories with a Neo-Pagan and not be likely to get
offended.)

*chuckle* I even tried starting a mailing list on Yahoo to try and get
people to discuss comparative faith, and the only people who signed up
did so to advertise porn...
