Interviewing Jews

Hello!

I have a class assignment to interview those from a Jewish background and was wondering if you would be willing to answer some questions!

First, are you Messianic Jewish?

1. What is your view of who God is?

2. What are your main concerns for Jewish communities throughout the world at this time in history?

3. What about Judaism gives you hope?

In previous eras, people were more careful not to do such things, the Aruch Hashulchan already stated that we are not careful about it, and people have made use of these candles, and since this is the case, people who light the candles are aware that they may be used for such things.

Nevertheless, someone who refrains from such use of a yahrzeit candle is praiseworthy.
