    Is that a real Jewish..um not sure what to call it. When he disowned him and the whole collar thing? He said pop it’s been a year, wow does it last that long?

    @herc32 His father (Sir Lawrence) played a repressed, depressed, oppressive fool for God, like so many others in the here-and-now who disdain pleasure for serving a God who, if he was so perfect, would not need service, constant praise, and worship from humanity, and would not seek to throw people in vats of fire for marrying outside their faith. If I had a rubber hose I’d beat his “father” to within an inch of his life for denying his son this-worldly happiness he appeared incapable of. Coward.

    @almarurbach And these fathers, and mothers, and others who seek to foist their misery on their children in the name of “tradition” or “God” or whatever bogeyman, are only following what their submission and obedience system tells them to do at the expense of their own happiness. Their “loving God” dictates everybody derive their happiness through praising him rather than enjoying themselves in this, their only Earthly life. No wonder so many Jews have therapists on retainer. Afraid of pleasure.

    @tobbythecat2 What’s “wrong” with prayer is that people rely on it more than relying on their own abilities or admissions of a lack thereof. Prayer feels good and is far easier than direct effort, but has no scientific evidence of effectiveness. It’s arbitrary, and cannot be duplicated certainly. Pray for a sports team to win a succession of games and you will see that your “prayers” are often unanswered. You might as well ask Santa Claus for peace. You have the exact same chance as prayer.

    The Jazz Singer, foi a primeira produção cinematográfica do cinema mundial, que incoporou a sincronização de imagem e som. Durante três década o cinema era apresentado com filmes mundo, porque no início do cimena não existia tecnologia que podesse alinhar imagem e som, isso venho acontecer trinta anos depois. Há quem defende, que a Revelação do Apocalipse já previa acontecimento.

    @cjlininger No matter what religion we are we all should pray for world peace but we should start with praying for peace within ourselfs, our families and the world. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

    This is an example of no matter what happens in a family situation, one must forgive.

    and as it happens … there many fathers who do not agree with their sons and daughters … and as it happened …. I lived such a situation myself and pray that I never do the same mistake to my kids as my father did to me. Kol nidrei and Yisgadal v’yiskadasch sh’may ra bon ….

    …My son.
    I am a twin, my brother and I were born in August, 1950. We both still live.
    We knew OF our Father, but never met him, he left our Mother before our birth.
    ‘My son’……
    As a child, a teenager, a Soldier, then a Husband, then a Father, (two joys of light that are our sons), I know that I will never hear a male voice call to me “my son, come here”.
    My Son.
    Treasure those words.

    Unlike the original 1927 movie version..Mr.Diamond’s”Jake Rabinowitz”/

    “Jake Robbins”will reconcile with his dad “The Cantor”..and the father and

    his second wife will watch “Jake”sing his rock song with a tv audience and

    “Rock With Everybody!”.
