The current discussion in the Knesset about who is a Jew is aggravating!!! Print E-mail

At what point do the religious right realize that we are a small people and treating fellow Jews or for that matter anyone is despicable!!!  The argument for Klal Yisrael falls on deaf ears.  The religious right whom are motivating this current round of who is a Jew do not get it. They do not understand what it means to be a Jew- for if they did understand what it means to be a Jew, they would not try to delegitimize other Jews.   I would think they would want to empower less religious Jews to be more actively Jewish. It is so sad that we now have to fight for equality again in our spiritual homeland. Write to Prime Minister Netanyahu and let him know how you feel. The URJ website has a link to do so. We must speak up for ourselves. Now is the time.
