Returning to God's fold
 
 
 
Last week a Guttman Center-Avi Chai Foundation poll revealed that
about 80 percent of Israeli Jews believe in the existence of God and
that 70% believe the Jews are the chosen people. Of those polled, 69%
believe that the Torah and the commandments are a divine directive and
60% believe in life after death. These are incredible results
considering the anti-religious sentiments that for years have pervaded
Israeli media and society, and in recent months hit a worrisome and
dangerous peak.
 
The poll proves that the creation of Israel in the spirit of Theodor
Herzl's and David Ben Gurion's visions did not succeed in one of its
main objectives: the construction of a new Israeli breed of Jews,
disconnected from God, religious faith and generations of tradition.
For many years, since the melting pot period of the country's early
years, educational systems, both political and academic, tried to pull
Jews away from Judaism. The image of the Israeli Sabra [a person born
in Israel] as a pioneer, fighter and cosmopolitan heretic was created
as an alternative to the Diaspora Jew, viewed as haggling, submissive,
closed-minded and dependent.
 
The myth of the Israeli Sabra turned out to be false. Israeliness did
not provide a true alternative to Judaism. Jews who gathered in Israel
from all corners of the world were forced to unload the cultural cargo
they had brought with them from years of exile: traditions, heritage
and faith.
 
Since empty sacks cannot stand upright, the new Israelis bowed before
a largely inferior foreign culture, imported from the West and adopted
by the progressive and enlightened public; a culture that sanctifies
individual autonomy with respect to one's rights, desires and whims. A
culture that revolved around the "me" "here" and "now."
 
In the fields of Israel, generations have grown up without roots:
Israelis with no identity, disconnected from their origins.
Generations arose who are unfamiliar with Jewish history, distant from
the Bible and alienated from the Zionist values, in whose name the
state of Israel was established.
 
This distancing from the roots of Jewish existence has become an
existential threat. Indeed, for a people without a past, there is no
future; and the past cannot be reinvented or rewritten using shallow
Canaanite culture as a base.
 
But now, suddenly it emerges that in slow but steady process, since
the Six-Day War, more and more Israelis are coming around and
reconnecting with Judaism. After many years in foreign lands Jews are
coming home in droves. The decades-long cycle has ended. It took many
years for the Israeli public to internalize the price they would
ultimately have to pay for disengaging from Jewish and Zionist values.
 
It is precisely now, when the people are not starving for food but
rather for tradition and heritage, that the religious and ultra-
Orthodox communities must exercise increased responsibility. Many in
Israel equate these communities with the essence of Judaism. It is
therefore important that the ultra-Orthodox leadership find the
courage to deal firmly and decisively with manifestations of extremism
in the public sphere. Radicalization is actually foreign to the Jewish
world view.
 
Israel's religious leaders must realize that the broader Jewish public
is largely connected to God and refuses to be treated as inferior. It
is important for them to understand that mandatory military service
(from which most ultra-Orthodox Jews are exempt) is a divinely-
mandated war of life-saving proportions. Under such circumstances, the
burden of obligation rests on everyone, including the ultra-Orthodox.
 
The majority of the Israeli public demonstrated in last week's poll
that they strive for coexistence; it is now the ultra-Orthodox
community's turn to rebuild the collapsed bridge and stretch out their
hands. Only in this way, hand in hand, can we walk together into the
future of the state of Israel and the beginning of our redemption.

 hands.
 
e perchè? Loro sono sempre di più, si prenderanno tutto, come tutti i
fottuti pretacci di questo mondo.

 e infatti hanno perso (o non hanno stravinto,
 
[LOL] ah, nemmeno a Gaza?
 
 

 [LOL] ah, nemmeno a Gaza?
 
c'è un governo riconosciuto come legittimo da quello israeliano, a
Gaza?

 Gaza?
 
stavi provando a raccontare che Israele non ha piu' vinto una guerra
dopo il 1968. Vai a spiegarlo a quelli di Gaza. Governo o meno.
 
 

 dopo il 1968.
 
ho detto "non hanno stravinto", che è un po' diverso. E 20 anni di
inutile invasione del Libano (che fra l'altro ha causato una crisi
economica epocale, col tuo grande Begin al governo), non sono certo
una vittoria..

 ho detto "non hanno stravinto",
 
e io ti ripeto: vai a dirlo a Gaza.

 non e' esattamente kosher.
 
però Bibi ti piace. E manca ancora la connessione tra neoliberismo e
sionismo laburista...

e' un "neoliberista" solo nelle tue fantasie

ma un cazzo. E' un liberista nella realtà, e non nelle mie fantasie.
Negare l'evidenza per non affrontare la contraddizione tra il tuo
schifo per il liberismo e il tuo amore per Bibi è un problema tuo...

l'economia israeliana aveva bisogno di liberismo, ed in effetti le
riforme furono concordate con i laburisti. Non ti intendi di storia
economica. Non per nulla sei comunista.
