Dear Dr. Blizzard: I was visiting with a young
Jewish man recently and he mentioned some things
that, though unfamiliar and somewhat puzzling to
us, sounded interesting. We would appreciate it if
you might shed some light on what he was saying.
First--what is seder? Second--he said that the cross
has been cursed, that Christian churches are cursed
because they use it as a symbol [as Jesus died on the
cross]. When we read "Cursed is he that hangeth on
a tree," we did not see a connection. Third--what is
the difference between Hebrew and Jewish?
We appreciate the great information we receive from
you.
