A place to read and write about God(s), religion(s) and similar obscure entities. |
Mazel Tov! A new war was born. Leaders, who have been in office for very long time, so it appears, have success going to their heads (or as they say in Hebrew: The urine has gone up to their heads). And like almost everywhere else, there is also the Jewish point of view. And I’m […]
Nowadays we witness an endless debate between carnivores and vegetarians, when one of the arguments is about the well-being of the animals. In the meantime, countries of the “new world”, especially in Europe, formulate new rules about how animals should be killed in order to be eaten. The main idea is electrocution, namely death by […]
There is a new government in Israel. For the first time ever, the prime minister of Israel is a formally religious man, wearing a traditional “kippah” (the Jewish religious head cover). He wouldn’t work during the Sabbath, unless some emergency life-saving issues. He prays several times a day as required. He eats only kosher food. […]
This is the Middle East here, which means: If you don’t get religious coercion from one side – you get it from the other. Israel has just gone through its 4th elections within a period of two years. One of the main issues is the ancient religious rules that are mixed with modern Israeli law. […]
Rumor has it that during the “Black Plague” in the Middle Ages there were those who blamed the Jews for its spread, because of the lower mortality among them, which was associated with the religious customs of washing hands. Much water has flown since then, even in Jordan River. And nowadays? Miraculously, various elements related […]
Tens of thousands of Breslev Hasidic Jews intend to fly to Ukraine, to the town of Uman, in order to attend the yearly ceremony near the grave of their rabbi. This is generally an extremely crowded event, and the people in charge of public health in Israel want to prevent this madness from taking place, […]
A soldier in the IDF has been put into a month of detention, because… a package of hamburger was found in his private fridge, in his room. Now, let me make this clear: This was not an issue of health. It was not some commercial thing. No money was involved in the reason for this […]
The big parties in the Israeli parliament (the “Knesset”) quarrel over the image of the future government. One of the main issues? Things associated with a bit more separation of church and state. In particular: Public transportation in the weekends, the right of every couple to get married regardless of religious constraints, compulsory basic education […]
It’s election time again in Israel. Something that happens frequently. Some Jewish religious political parties have found this time appropriate for attracting voters by promoting a hate campaign against homosexuals and lesbians. The current slogans involve using the terms “natural” and sometimes also “majority”. Supposedly it’s not “natural” for a couple of the same gender […]
The following partially-translated article appeared in one of Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jewish religious newspapers, “Yated Ne’eman” (name roughly translated into “Faithful Tent-Peg”) on May 2000. It was written by Rabbi Chaim Shaul Karelitz, one of the most prominent leaders of the Jewish ultra-Orthodoxy at the time, and largely reflected the Jewish ultra-Orthodox attitude towards the state […]
