You don't have to be Jewish to have a Ketuba?

Evangelical Christians have decided they admire ancient Jewish customs. There are couples who are now interested in a getting married with some version of a  ketuba and perhaps getting married under the chupa (let's hear them pronounce that). Perhaps this is allowing sellers of Judaica to now enlarge their customer base by selling to Christians as well. What's next? I say mezzuzahs: they are not too expensive and can also be a fashion statement.

Shnoring From Churches for Israel

Sondra Oster Baras might be an orthodox Jew but she can be found in church. She is involved in a very controversial issue:getting monies from evangelical Christians to support Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. Should we care where the money come from as long as it helps people? The Satmar Rebbe is against taking money from the Zionist government so we know where he would stand on this issue.
