Korea loves so much israel, it's culture, traditions, beliefs etc...that they sell missiles to iran and even help them for nuclear tests!! Funny...
62. 61 , M . We are talking about SOUTH Korea
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.16.11)
It's NORTH Korea that sells this stuff to Iran .
63. Mauro , Ora .
Charles ,   Petyach Tikva   (05.17.11)

ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.17.11)
against those who attacked Jewish faith. Is this so difficult to understand?
66. Ora , 65
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.17.11)
Did Rav Kook attack Jewish faith ? And he was amongst the ZIONISTS that was named the biggest , "cultural" , plague by your "beloved" one . Enough ?
67. Ora , for him Zionism was the biggest
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.17.11)
cultural "plague" . Was Rav Kook also attacking Jewish faith ? And he was a Zionist . Your idol had the same ideas as the netoure karta of today .
68. Ora , a last question
Charles ,   Petach Tiukva   (05.17.11)
Your "great" rav [ not mentioned amongst the great rabbanim in the Jewish virtual library ] died almost 100 year ago . Give me the names of people who , thanks to him , contributed to Humanity [ not to talmudic "study" that's not a contribution to the world ] Wasted enough time today .

Three posts to express your animosity towards this great Rabbi! STOP IT ALREADY.

ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.18.11)
We have not the same notion of contributing to humanity.For you it is winning the Nobelprize,wile for the Torastudents and me it is "Veahavta et Reeha Kamoha"
71. 68 Charles
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.18.11)
Humanity is also respecting people with other believes than yours.Sometimes i find that your posts are very irritating,but i respect you,because you are a decent guy .
72. Ora , Three posts too !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.18.11)
I don't need the Tora to do "ve'ahavta et re'echa...." And it was NOT this rav's contribution . So he was maybe a talmudic scholar , not a great one i suppose , because not in the list of the jewishvirtuallibrary . I respect every believer , as long as he/she does not try to convince me , and does not hope that i will become religious . You are doing it , but because of your great heart , your love for others , i respect you too .
73. 72Three thanks in one post , Charles.

77. Einstein was 'anti-religious' ?
Matty ,   Johannesburg, RSA   (09.11.12)
What an assumption! Einstein acknowledged G-d and wondered at his handiwork. There are many quotes from Einstein confirming this, yet none I can find to substantiate your claim.
78. Nobel prize winners and talmud
Esther ,   Beit Shemesh, Israel   (10.16.12)
Despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners did not study Talmud, those Jews grew up in Jewish households - homes where analytical study with arguments between respectful peers and questioning every angle of an issue is expected. The Koreans ARE correct that the Talmud is the printed "conversation among scholars". Perhaps some of the wiseguys commenting here should study something about the Talmud and it's history, then the Talmud itself, before making their comments.
79. orthodox
Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem   (07.17.15)
you said few orthodox geniuses. there have been more orthodox than non, they just down soil themselves in potty-academics.
