Question
In terms of friendship, the answer is obvious--we keep a distance--in business, however, there is the question as to What obligation the modern Torah-Observant Jew has towards homosexuals who are open about their sexuality, since in the Diaspora we do business with a variety of individuals and we are not allowed to discriminate. In Leviticus 20:13 we learn that Hashem has instructed Israel to impose the harshest of all possible punishments for the sin of homosexual relations among men. My question is this: If the Halacha does not change with the times, are we to interpret the same punishment is still valid today for a modern day Israel --which is a nationalist state and not a Theocracy? Is this punishment not reserved for a Theocracy whereby the Moshiach is our leader? BECAUSE.....If that punishment were to be followed, it would be devastating to Israel's relations with other countries--especially Europe-- which has a more tolerant policy, and that lack of business that would result would create further damage to our ability to do other mitzvot. Therefore, what is Modern day Israel obligated to in terms of relations with sexually immoral individuals (many of whom are Israelis)

Question
With everything going on right now I have a question. Many Christians believe that we are supposed to support Israel and the Jewish people in there taking back the Holy lands of the Old Testament. Do Jewish people care wether or not Christians fight along side them? Do the Jewish people look at Christians as fools who believe in a false and failed profit who by there blood lines and or conversion to Christianity ( which from my understanding is a sin worthy of death for a Jew and a violation of one of the 3 main commandments ) is completely impossible and that no Christian will ever enter into the kingdom of God? And what do Jewish people think about Christians and there belief that they must defend and back the nation of Israel and the Israeli people?

Question
I was curious rabbis, how does Judaism respond to people who are atheists because of insufficient evidence for god other than referring back to the Torah. Since atheists don’t believe there is a god to begin with, how do I try to convince them of his existence other than the Torah?

Question
Dear Rabbi, What prayer can I do to ask for protection for the people of Israel? Thank you

Question
Hi. My girlfriend identifies as Messianic Jewish. I am agnostic, but I was raised Jewish until about 11. I am firm that I don't believe in G-d, but she insists that I might understand her better if I got to "know Him." To me, this seems like proselytizing, and further research into Messianic Judaism suggests to me that she isn't actually Jewish, but a Protestant seeking to spread the word of Jesus, or "Yeshua" as she refers to Him. She only attends church services on Sundays and seems nervous about going to temple to worship. I suppose my question is whether or not Messianic Judaism is "real Judaism?" I didn't finish Hebrew school, but I have a large Jewish family on my father's side and I never recall them talking about Yeshua as G-d. I'm sorry if this is an offensive question, but I'm having a hard time finding a good answer to what Messianic Judaism is. Thank you for your time.
