I don't recall that. Actually, Judaism has a quite extensive and encompassing code of law that dictates everything from how we tie our shoes to the affairs of the state. Some key laws are as such: God exists God is one and unique God is incorporeal God is eternal Prayer is to God only...

1) Yes, the laws are many regarding them but anger,pride and envy are all "sins of the heart". Pride and anger are akin to idol worship and self-deification. In regards to lust and desires, it is preferred to take a middle path. For example if one had a desire for meat, he may eat it but in...

Judaism is the oldest of the three. The Christian god is not the Jewish G-d, they just claim he is. Islam, more or less worships the same G-d as we Jews. I would go as far as to say that we, Jews and Sikhs, worship the same G-d also. Perhaps we are both describing the same thing from two...

That's alright =) I'm glad you brought them up. I was scared of a derail/flame war but I didn't think it would be fair to leave your questions unanswered. -Sholom

You actually bring up a good point. Hindus worship Brahmin, and the avatars and gods are expressions of Brahmin. Brahmin, is an acosmic monism, not very different from the way that Judaism views G-d. The idolatrous aspect of Hinduism is the worshiping of animals, statues and avatars. -Sholom

1) Yes. G-d has no form and worshiping an avatar or idol is idolatrous according to Judaism. 2) I don't know where you get you facts but if you do a little reading, you'll see that a)Israel isn't the one currently hurling rockets into civilian areas. b)Extremist fighters use...

1) No. Jews must marry Jews, and this hold especially true for men. You see, Judaism is an Ethnoreligion, meaning they are one in the same. Without Jews, there is no Judaism. What makes one a Jew is passed down through the mother. 2) I don't know. Aside from a tax Jews and Christians had to...

That's really cool man. It's okay man =D I definitely am not one to judge if you trim or shave. We're also allowed to kill in self-defense. Killing and murdering are different in Judaism. Killing, is either accidental or in self-defense. Murder is intentionally ending someone's life...

Oh, I wanted to bring something up about a comment made in the thread in the OP. Jews do not believe that one can only become close to G-d through Judaism. Judaism is for Jews. Jews believe that anyone non-Jew who performs the 7 Noahide laws (a set of laws given from G-d to Noah after the...

Thanks for the welcome! I'll check those out soon. Hi, Scarlet! I think that secularization and interfaith marriages are the bane of our faiths and peoples. The west if free, and thank G-d for that. We do not suffer persecution but secularization also opens up our peoples to secular...

Hey guys! I came across this thread: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/judaism/17453-jews-sikhs-how-similar-can-we-3.html And realized that you may need someone to answer some questions for you! Growing up, some of my closest friends were Sikhs and I've always had a high level of respect for...
