Can Women Play Musical Instruments Well Or Are They Gender Handicapped?

Typing requires fine motor control. Ex. typing court documents.  Sometimes there has been more male secretaries, while at different times more women have done it.  

Needlework, another fine motor talent, as in making homemade clothes seems to be something that women do better.

Playing instruments requires fine motor movement ~ so why now do so few women take to it in comparison to male artists.  There is probably 1,000 male artists for every female artist.  What gives!!?  I bet that this fact is nothing but motivation that is holding women back.

Motor skills

“Others in the scientific (and sometimes pseudo-scientific) fields seem to believe that women tend to have naturally better sensory-motor coordination than men.A new study showed that young women have better visual-sensory motor skill coordination than their male counterparts, an argument many times confirmed. It is believed that women excel in fine motor skills while men are better at motor skills that necessitate more strength rather than accuracy.” http://www.spreeder.com/are-women-better-typists-than-men/

A Dream: Jews and non-Jews Studying Together in Peace

There is so much Torah to study without ever converting.  The way I see it is that I don’t have to be a Jew to study or contribute.  Why not opt in to observe mitzvos, even mitzvos I am not required observe as a son of Noah?  My personal feeling is that if deeds are healthy for Jews, then they are probably healthy for me.  I have studied Chumash, Daily Halachah, Psalms, and Tanya, with plans for others at chabad.org for several years now.  I have no need to convert to be blessed by Jews.  I hope that this generation will find ways to make peace with other nations of the world - count me in for that one!  Jews studying side by side with non-Jews in study halls has the potential to heal hate.

Ubiquitous Cosmological Evidence of G-d Still Not Enough for Some Atheists

Acceptance of Gd, as He is on His terms, and not on your opinion of how G-d should be, is one of most important acts anyone can do. That is what religionists refer to as faith.

Richard Dawkins, probably the foremost atheist in this time concludes that in atheism he has found remarkable Darwinian “grandeur,”

Charles Darwin was not known as a poet, but he produced a lyrical crescendo in the last paragraph of On the Origin of Species.

"Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death,[i] the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." - Charles Darwin

but then Dawkins deems those same acts of nature to be too horrible for him to consider a deity's involvement.

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

That is a verifiable contradiction.

Can anyone see the error of Dawkins' logic?  Logic such that if Hashem creates it, then according to Dawkins, no matter what, it is as if it were created by a hateful, devilish, hideous being, like the picture.



Yet, if there is no Gd, and something becomes created, then according to Dawkins this is surely worthy of remarkable praise, such as in the case of this woman. this:

USA citizens know less about Bible than Qu’ran

Genesis 17: (20) And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. "

America is so scared of Islam. We have a stupid word for this, “Islamophobia .” 

 This is what the Qu’ran has to say about mercy: 

“1. Allah is most Merciful

The Qur’an says several times that Allah is the most Merciful. 

In fact all the 114 Surahs i.e. chapters of the Glorious Qur’an except for Surah Taubah chapter 9, begin with the beautiful formula, Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Rahim, which means, "In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful".”  from 

http://ifesweden-faq.blogspot.com/2008/09/quran-says-several-times-that-allah-is.html

Christians and “leaders” demonized the Qu’ran and Muslims rather than looking at their own Bible for solutions. Our Bible teaches us about Ishmaelites. This is because war against the Ishmaelites is pointless, for they are a people that can’t lose because they have an eternal blessing (Genesis 17:20). If the Ishmaelites lose, then everyone will lose. War against Ishmaelites is destined to fail, even wars Israel may engage in.

Why do I say this?  Because it is something I found in the Bible.

Please verify this verse that I quoted above if you don't believe me.

Genesis 17: (20) And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. "

Jerusalem to Win Israel’s Peace Battle

Israel needs to show the world how much she cares about the lives of all peoples, both Jew and non-Jew. If Israel doesn’t care, then she needs to study why she should care.

A reason why Israel should care: Where I live, it is safer than Jerusalem!, safer than it is in the holy land! Sorry if the truth is humiliating, but I think the secret is that we don’t rely on the magic land factor in my town.

Peace requires effort on the parts of citizens! We, the people of my town, Sandwich, don’t complain much about galut. That would be silly. We don’t even have a synagogue in our town! In my town, I am aware of 1 shooting and no stabbings at all. I have lived in Sandwich for about 30yrs – roughly factoring in my years at college.

What I am getting at is not that Jews are bad. Wherever a Jew is, getting to work means less focus on complaining about galut, especially if they are outside of Israel’s boundaries, and more focus on trying to make the place of one’s being, wherever it may be, as how they imagine Israel should be.

Start today and wherever you are - think: What is something I can do to help bring about peace in Israel and in my hometown (or city)?  Israel is supposed to be a beacon of hope, but right now Israel is among the worst places to be on earth.  The world is upside down!

The ideal of peace is not just for Jews or Israelis because in order for a land to be a land of peace, its citizens need to make it that way. It takes work and care!

Is Evolution in the Bible? Yes, it is!

This is where the biblical Garden of Eden story meets science. Specifically, it occurs when G-d punishes the serpent making it crawl on its belly, meaning that G-d caused the transition some of legged reptiles into snakes, which was an effective evolutionary event. As evolution continues, newer species of snakes may continue in the trending evolutionary pattern observed as vestigial anatomy shrinkage followed by elimination of vestigial pelvic girdles.

Bible: Fall of Man Image

I suggest that dinosaurs, notably those in the shape of brachiosaurus with its incredibly long neck and tail are the origin of modern snakes.

Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus, for example, was incredibly large (its size is not very important [for example whales are usually considered to have evolved from dogs]) and had an operable pelvic girdle, used for walking (as opposed to slithering.) Notice the serpent's shape, and compare it to that of this brachiosaurus image. The story unfolds.

Python Skeleton w/Vestigial Limbs Compared to Human's

Old world snakes such as pythons still have the vestige of a pelvic girdle, which is comparable to their distant ancestors, the dinosaurs, suggesting that the ancestors of snakes evolved from 4 legged reptiles. There is apparently no value to these vestigial skeletal parts. Hence, in newer species of snake - as opposed to old world snakes such a pythons - the extra bones that make up a pelvic girdle exist no longer because there is no advantage selecting them.

Since the Bible allowed snakes to evolve, I believe that this discussion could happen to any species.
