hey i have some more jewish questions?
is like the traditional shabbat dinner something only jewish people can do? or is it like anyone can do that?
while typing that i started wondering how is shabbat spelt? is it shabbat, shabbot, shabbos, or do i just call it sabbath? idk, ive heard it many ways?
and also, whats the difference between the word goyim and gentile? i thought gentile was the word for non jewish person? shrugs
i think this depends on, like, the level that you're doing it if that makes sense? on a base level, it is a religious ceremony, so i doubt you would put on all the actual like religious parts of the ceremony if you weren't jewish - that said, my family frequently invites goyim friends to our shabbat!! so like if youre doing all the religious stuff with jews than hell yeah! other than that, as for like, traditional jewish food i say definitely to goyim making and eating that :D
omg thats actually such a good question. honestly i always write it as shabbat and say either shabbat or shabbos - it might be just one of those translation things where theres a few different spellings/pronounciations? lemme look it up real quick OKAY IM BACK AND HAVE KNOWLEDGE!! okay so from what ive read it looks like sabbath is just like, the general word for day of rest, not assigned to any religion - i think shabbat is the more judaism-specific word, and shabbos is the ashkenazim pronunciation!(ashkenazi jews are like a 'subset' of jews, originating in central/eastern europe)
gentile stems from like the latin translation i think? whereas goy (singular) or goyim (plural) is the og hebrew word! goyim is sometimes regarded in like a derogatory way towards non-jews - its a bit debated - but obv i would never use it in that sense, idk. so summary is either one works ! they mean the same thing, just different origins
