Here's the list of questions asked in the Introduction to Judaism Class (or via emial). click the question to go to the discussion and other materials I've collected that deal with the subject.

• Tattooing

I have heard that you cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetary if you have a tattoo. Is this true? If so, why is this? What about Jews who were tattooed in concentration camps?

• Halloween

I have a 7 year old son. Can you refer me to something that would help me describe Jewish views on Halloween?

• The Vegetarian Shankbone

What do vegetarians use for the Zeroa (Shankbone) on the Seder plate during Pesach?
