Nope, that's all from my own study, my friend-- though I don't presume to have understood everything I've read, that's for sure! Rabbinical school doesn't give us much detail of other religions-- we barely have enough time to cover what we need to cover about Judaism. But how could I possibly converse productively with our Muslim cousins, our fellow children of Abraham if I don't even know what they do to connect with themselves and with God?

In any case, again, Ramadan karim and (when it gets here) Eid mubarak! Hope you have a great time with your family, Down Under!
