my dh told me about this topic on one of the chat rooms he goes on... he told me that in one of the chat rooms pple kept on telling him that saying please and thank you was not the jewish way....what is your opinion of this... if you agree with this statement then how do you show appriciation and respct?
I will tell you right now my feelings on the matter is that if you can't say please and thank you to your fellow man... then you have no buisness sayin please and thank you to HaShem but I want to know have other pple heard this?

I think you're referring to manners, not manors.

Maybe they meant bitte and a dank?  Or bevakasha and toda?
And yeah... I don't think this has much to do with manors.

I wasn't aware that it wasn't the jewish way. maybe I should inform my 19 month old that saying plea & da-doo will not get her far in life. I can teach her to say gimme that instead.

It would be good manners to spell manners instead of manors!!

Soooo.... Judaism as an excuse to be rude.
Great, just what we need.

Please remember that English is not everyone first language.

that's true. but it doesn't make it easier for everyone to understand just because someone doesn't speak english as a first language. my dh makes me edit his written english all the time. half the time I can't even look at what he wrote. I need to ask him what he wanted to say, because otherwise I wouldn't have the faintest clue.

I didn't use Judaism as an excuse to be rude, just commented on the spelling-- it was meant to be a joke, but obviously offended several people, so sorry

I was actually commenting on the original post, not everyone's nitpicking on the poor spelling.

manners is the Jewish way.
I would want to ask those on the list a bit more what they mean; how do they think people should be spoken to? What should Jews do instead?

Thing is, with this particular 'typo' it's not actually a misspelled word. It's just the wrong homophone.

Someone told me manners and sophistication were for Nazis and non jews in general, and Jews didn't need them (or something like that, I didn't really got it). So it may indeed not be the choshive, heilige way to be polite...

The Jewish way is to say "please" and "thank you". Just like the way we show hakaras hatov to Hashem.
