CG, But then what is your objection to the state of Israel? If I am reading you correctly, you are a sort of NK supporter, just haven’t crossed the line into activism?
Do you think there is any good at all in Israel as we know the state?
and compared to say the intermarriage rates in the UK and the US and other countries, is this not good that in Israel there are 90% Jewish marriage rates?
Yes some intermarry but not as in the outside.
Would you say that this is a good thing, and if that there was no state of Israel, these Jews by now, would be not Jews anymore, in terms of the prevailing intermarriage rates in the Chu”ll?
As well that the existence of the Zionist movement that a place populated by Jews then lent itself to save Jewish refugees who were able to escapte the inferno at the last moment, incl. I believe the Satmar Rebba and many other Chassidishe Rabbonim, and many later leaders of Agudah in the USA, and many Roshei Yeshiva, who likely, of course we cannot say for sure, but they had no other option at the time, would have also perished in Auscwicz?
I would like to know if you consider this fact a good or bad thing?
Same goes with support for Torah learning and in both Dispora as well in Israel, for teachers and Rabbeim.
How do you explain the phenomon wherein Birthright programs takes Jews who were on the road to Intermarriage and were not associated in any way with Jewish life and able to become part of their local communities and performing Mitzvos. Is this a good thing or not?
