Good article, Jeffrey and very informative. Let's hope that those with clarity of thought and vision for our people's unity will be able to wrest the contol of the Rabbanut from the hands of an arbitrary, anti-inclusive and irrationally machmir sector of our society. One more good reason to vote for Bayit Yehudi.

Oh come on, the 6-foot blonde shiksa, the fax machine, the McConversion (which so many of them get). You either have to laugh, or cry. I still can't stand Shas. But it's certainly not "hateful" or "racist".

Uh, Israel is a "Jewish state". I guess you didn't get the memo.

John, you have a funny sense of humor. I guess in Arizona, standards are different…

It certainly appears that Jewishness is beating Israeliness – I remians to be seen if this is a good thing for the country…

Let;'s not be coy. The behavior of the rabbanut is about three words: POWER, CONTROL, and CHAREIDIZATION.

The $10,000 Torah Challenge has been up and running for 3 weeks now. Not one single rabbi has even attempted to give an answer.
Judaism passes thru the mother merely because the rabbis say so; not because of what is written in the Torah!
The Torah clearly says it is permissible to marry Canaanite virgins. How could God have told Moses, orally, that Judaism passes thru the mother and then made a written law which says it is okay to marry Canaanite virgins? Do you think it is possible the rabbis are lying?

A link to this Torah challenge has been sent to:

Prime Minister of Israel.
President of Israel.
The Jewish Agency.
The Director of the Chabad Movement.
The AISH Educational Foundation.
The Progressive Jewish Movement.
The Conservative Jewish Movement.
The President of Brandeis University.

and countless other Jewish Institutions and synagogues.
Yet, not one single rabbi has responded. Why not?

It is very nice that Shas took don't the ad with the pregnant Russian, when is Shas going to stop spreading the lie that Joseph married a relative of his sister Dinah?

The Shas ad was hilarious and entertaining, not "vicious" or "racist". Too bad they took it down.
