[NGFP-BookClub] Being Kosher in the IDF

[Mafovries at aol.com]

Professor Garrison, friends,
 =

I cannot compete with your everyday experiences as I live in Germany and  =

only experience Israel through the eyes of a tourist, although I have lots =
of =

 family living in Israel. =

 =

These items of enforced Kashrut and Halacha for all citizens cannot in my  =

opinion be upheld much longer. We should not fall into the same pit as othe=
r =

 religions who became secular as well as a moral instance just to gain =

maximum  benefits for themselves and their "clan" as the commora in  Italy. =

Globalisation will ensure the separation of secular and religion if  Israel =

should become a "normal" member of world society. I believe that the  influ=
x of =

Russian Jewery in Israel will enforce this change. I had no idea of  the =

corruption within Israel society as far as our religion is concerned. If  t=
hat =

is the case as has been quoted, then these people loose all legitimacy to  =

enforce anything. This includes Kashrut, Merriage and developing rules and  =

regulations for rules of return. The Torah shows the way on this: =

If you fail to adhere to any one of the ten commandments then the result  =

will be, that you will disregard all other commandments leading to  anarchy!
 =

I just can=B4t believe that we have become so self rightious with disregard=
  =

to all Israel stood for in =B448. It was supposed to be a home for all Jews=
 - =

but  always respecting all other nations and all other religions. We =

absolutely must  return to the path of moral correctness - i.e. just keepin=
g to the =

10  commandments - neever mind the rest - the 613 rules that kahrut, etc. =

adheres  to. If we don=B4t - then we are no better than all other groups an=
d =

nations that  killed so many Jews.
