I am a catholic, however I am tracing my maternal family tree.  My mother is jewish.  It is certainly the most intresting thing I have ever done.  I am having problems tracing a family surname and have had no luck.  So I hope that you are not offended and wonder if you may have heard of this surname in USA.  The surname is BOMCOOEIGER.  I cannot trace the country of origin for this surname, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.  This is the surname of my great grandmother, who married my great grandfather abraham goodkind.  many thank to you.</a><p><font face='arial'&nbsp;size='-2'><a href=javascript:open_window('http://www.askasites.com/affiliates/partnerq.cfm?affilid=2&id=6787')>considering the lo ta'aseh mitzvah of prohibition of superstition and sorcery, are we permitted to see movies like harry potter and the like or read books about witchcraft or horoscopes and psychics? even if you don't take them terribly seriously? also, is going to fortune tellers or getting tarot cards forbidden?if you could explain the reason for your explanation, and give us your sources it would be greatly appreciated.				thanks for your help!			sincerely, margaret and 							stephanie</a><p><font face='arial'&nbsp;size='-2'><a href=javascript:open_window('http://www.askasites.com/affiliates/partnerq.cfm?affilid=2&id=6786')>A man I work with had an uncle who flew B-52 missions in World War II.  Although he is not jewish, the nickname of his plane was 'mizpah'.  Is this a prayer?  We have seen conflicting information.  Rabbi, please give me your understanding.

I know it's the way to go, I know it's my fathers religion, and I know there are many others who are not considered Jewish by the mainstream but practice the religion. Some of us can't even convert, like myself, because of our region of the country. But it dawned on me, since Matrilineal Descent, apparently, and correct me if i'm wrong, doesn't come up in the sacred texts..is it possible that the moshiach could be born in this situation? </a><p><font face='arial'&nbsp;size='-2'><a href=javascript:open_window('http://www.askasites.com/affiliates/partnerq.cfm?affilid=2&id=6780')>Why is that the name God isn't mentioned in the book of Esther?</a></td></tr></table>");
