Syag:
I did not mean to imply that your typical Israeli off the street is Leah Rabin and a “hater”. Not at all. But if they don’t even know what Mishnayos are, and have been taught that, in Ben-Gurion’s words, “Religion is the historical misfortune of the Jewish people”, what nechama could they possibly derive from someone learning mishnayos, assuming they could even tolerate the very thought of it?
To clarify further, if, someone offered to perform some religious act that, in your mind, is totally opposite what you were taught: would that gesture have any meaning to you? I don’t see how it would.
Might you appreciate the gesture just because it was offered, or just for the solidarity? Depending on the person, perhaps it would. But that’s a far cry from claiming it would bring nechama to them.
And akuperma is still quite correct that any Zionist worthy of the name would abhor this “galut stuff”.
