[edit] Hello Neria

Hello Neria. Just curious, were you born into a Karaite family, or did you adopt its halakha at a later time? Do you live in a Karaite community and, if not, how is it possible to live life in accordance with its views in such a location?

I find the topic very interesting, but I am having a hard time finding actual Karaites to discuss these matters with.

Yes I was born into a karaite family (egyptian origion). I am Israeli, but now I live in San Farancisco.

I live in a Karaite community, Here and at home in Israel.

It is possible to live life accordance with its views even if you don't live in a karaite community. Tell me where do you find the problem?

You also can write to my e-mail. I give it to you if you want. --Neria 00:22, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, I would find it difficult to practice Karaite halakha in solitude due to the fact that many of the communal festivities and the like would be unable to be observed. I've noticed that Judaism is very community- and tradition-oriented, which would make it difficult to be a practicing Jew, whether Rabbinic or Karaite, by oneself. Though I suppose that because Karaites have never been very numerous, many have been forced to live outside of an established community.

Yes, I think we could discuss these and other similar matters much better through email, if you don't mind.

Thanks again for your response.

You can e-mail me via "E-mail this user". I think that this is the best way.

What you say is true becouse Judaism is not just religion it is also Nationality. By the way, Where do you live? --Neria 00:38, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Oddly enough, none of my emails seem to have gotten through. Anyhow, this is the essential body of what I was trying to ask you:

Regarding custom and tradition, it seems to me that Karaite Judaism is very ecclectic; that is, each Karaite determines for himself the halakha to follow from his own interpretation of the Torah. However, I've also heard that traditional Karaites have their own customs and traditions which do not contradict the Torah. Which view is the most correct; or, perhaps, it is a mixture of both? In the same vein, where may I find a traditional Karaite siddur and more information about the way in which they perform their prayer? I've simply been pointed to the on-line Siddur from Karaite Korner, but it seems somewhat lacking due to the fact that it provides no more information other than quotations from the Torah and the Tehillim.

Thanks again, Yogensha 00:52, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

See your e-mail. I answere you there. --Neria 19:47, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
