because the ultra-Orthodox have a far more strict understanding of the observance of laws.

Maybe they have a generally far more strict interpretation of the observance of laws,

But frankly that’s not the issue either. The major difference between Religious Zionist Rabbis and Haredi Rabbis are that one participates in State, the other sits on the sidelines.

Sure we are generalizing by basing the arguments on the high ratio of Haredi rabbis
without discussing the actual individuals and their views, and frankly, I love Haredis, but there is nevertheless something warped about the way the committee worked. So Friedman showed that he can’t care less about the Jews and that he rather concetrate on reforming the supreme court judges committe instead.

W/R to cyprus weddings, negligible percentage. Nowhere close to the percentage of Israeli Jews who eat bread on pesach or don’t fast on Yom kippur. Jewish mothers still want Jewish brides and grooms.

Hey middle, wassup. You haven’t changed, well, neither have I really. Sorry to be gone for so long.

Israel didn’t know from terrorism until those Brit hooligans showed up….

I am willing to pay $$ for information leading to information about where he works. Chutzpah1@optonline.net. He is not paying his alimony for a change.

Yes, where else would he find someone as intelligent, creative, sexyand nuturing as myself with parents who were constantly giving him thousands of dollars to help out. This mail -order bride doesn’t have half the common sense, emotional maturity or brains of my 8 year old. “Ima” my ass, I’d like to call her “Peg” or maybe “Felch”.

P.S. Please don’t ever introduce yourself to me if you see me on the street…that would just be too creepy and I have no idea who you are.

I would deffo check out the ex for signs of physical abuse . He looks quite unhappy. I run into them on my sales rounds of the food stores over there.

He really messed up his life imo, he would have been better off trying to patch things up.

By the way, Tom, that soccer match fizzled into a 0-0 tie between Israel and England. On the other hand, notoriously insane English soccer fans who visited Israel for this match (4000 of them!) went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial, and were so moved that they have vowed from now on to refrain from drunken hooliganism at international soccer matches and instead intend to identify Jews in the crowds at these matches and kiss them gently on cheeks and foreheads for, uh, still being around.
