Thanks for that Dinah.. has certainly helped... I undersdtand the basis for the restrictions.. pig's carrying more disease etc, and I just wonderred how it was justified to modern Jews!
My only expereince with Judaism was a Jewish wedding I attended a few years back - wow, what a lavish affair - a once in a lifetime thing for me, one of the top hotels in london, food and champagne coming out of everywhere... truly was quite amazing!! And the ecremony ws great.. luckily we had been ne-friended by a young jewish couple, so they explained all the stuff during the service, and what leads up to the wedding service etc... was really interesting.. espeicaly as my husband and myself were serpareted for the service (men on one side, women on other!!)!! The Rabbi that took the service is the highest ranking female Rabbi in the UK.. she's an amazing woman, and I would have loved to have sat down with her and had a good chat!!!
Its strange that, even though I have no strong religious beliefs myself, other peoples convictions fascinate me!!
Thanks again
