Meat and Mayo can be kosher

B"H. I must comment, in response to David - if you have kosher bread, and you have kosher meat, and you have kosher mayonaise, you can have a kosher sandwich. It's not hard to do, if you have kosher supplies. Of course, one can not mix milk and meat, but mayonaise is not dairy - at least no mayo that I can remember seeing.

IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS

1. THE DIVINE PRESENCE HAS NEVER LEFT THE WESTERN WAL. DO NOT DISMISS IT AS UNIMPORTANT. 2. THE JEWISH PEOPLE DID NOT "TAKE" OR "CONQUER" JERUSALEM. DAVID PURCHASED IT FROM THE YEVUSI 3. WHAT'S WITH THE CLOWN IN THE NEW CITY? HE SAYS "YOU'LL GET RIPPED OFF" CHANGING MONEY. WHAT KIND OF HORRID THING IS THAT? AND A STEREOTYPE. HE SAYS THE OLD CITY IS 'BREAD" AND THE NEW IS "MEAT AND MAYONAISE"? HUH? NOT ONLY NOT KOSHER, VERY DISRESPECTFUL. PLEASE FIRE THAT THAT CLOWN AND RE-DO THAT SECTION WITH PROPER RESPECT.

EMOTIONAL

After finding out that my great grand-mother was Jewish and which meant I have Jewish blood, I have done nothing but study about my new culture. This video is awsome. It's like fresh water during a hot day. I love this site, I love the Jewish people and I'm proud to be apart of this awsome history. Shalom.
