I don't think his ethnicity is ever stated, nor is quite when he lived, though he apparantly lived in the area around Edom.

Buddhist: Its the result of actions I performed in the past. Hasid: Did you know we believe in reincarnation? Scientist: Coincidence? Activist: Job needed better free health care.

I used to do this in class to my students so I will try it here on Tribe to see if you guys are up for an old fashion jewish diologe discussing a Jewbu subject. Tell me how Job is like Budda or how does he fail. What elements of the story support your argument? I would also like to add that there are scholors who believe that the ending of Job was added on much later and that the original author left Job on his ash heap after his apiphany. What is the meaning behind why bad things happen to good people? What does it mean when you are jewish and what does it mean if you are a buddest? Is there reconcilation for you as a Jewbu? I am looking forward to your responses!
