If they are on the same side as the reform, they need to rethink. A careful examination shows that even some beloved modern orthodox organizations get NIF money through the back door. Only a strong rabbinate can stand in the way. And this proves that they know it and are trying to scare MO women.<br /><br />There are things that need to be fixed, but nothing needs to be broken.Rivka Leinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413032143053981072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-65802575088987448042016-03-18T10:23:18.868+02:002016-03-18T10:23:18.868+02:00Yakov,

So, why is it that they have as much publicity and power as they do?<br /><br />Because those truly in charge of the State of Israel are giving it to them, while most of us just sit by and accept that this is the result of our great "democracy."<br /><br />This is why I bother to write about such things. Maybe I can wake a few people up, either Torah observant Jews, secular Jews, or even Reform Jews who do not realize they are just being used as pawns.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-86576623741631203612016-03-18T09:29:33.455+02:002016-03-18T09:29:33.455+02:00The Reform and other non-Torah Jews go in the same...The Reform and other non-Torah Jews go in the same path as the Zadoki(Sadducees) of 2000 years ago. Do you see them today, No, they have died out just like the Reform and non-Torah Jews are. Where are your Reform children? Where are your Reform schools? Why do you not see Reform Aliyah in mass? You are only 1% -2% of Israelis according to the Pew Research Center <a href="http://www.pewforum.org/2016/03/08/israels-religiously-divided-society/" rel="nofollow">Israel’s Religiously Divided Society</a>. You are all talk and no action. If you want Reform in Israel make Aliyah. If not go back to the US.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799042027170864261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-45349759981492348582016-03-16T16:55:37.822+02:002016-03-16T16:55:37.822+02:00Yep.
