Fellow Jews,any ideas why people think that Rick Warren's invocation of the Shema was not disrespectful to us?

Generally the Sacrifice of the red heifer is seen as the most incomprehensible of the laws- it really seems backwards and impossible to understand and though we take guesses at its meanings no one really understands why it works the way it does.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
