Science schools teach how to make a living. Tora schools teach how to make a life [morals ,more humanity]. Both schools produce half educated students. Two halves making one whole,i am just wondering if Tora+Science teaching might be the answer for our national unity problem.
3. In the Laws of Israeli Democracy
SECULAR HYPOCRISY!   (06.05.11)
only the secular are permitted to openly hate, and boy are they hateful fanatics and racists against haredim or religious Jews. On the other hand, haredim or religious Jews in general who disagree with lawlessness of the secular left, are intolerance and liberal permissiveness are racists.

5. Hmm
Shalom Hartman   (06.05.11)
As its only the secular camp that a large percentage believe that the religious teach intolerance, could it possibly - that they are wrong???
6. God is not democratic
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (06.05.11)
Sorry fellows, but God does not do things in a democratic manner. He decrees and we must listen, not exactly like our democratic government that listens to the voters or the voters following the law like the law makers, or what ever...
7. #3 talking of hypocracy
Haim ,   Tel aviv   (06.06.11)
Gee i guess that explains the riots, attacking women on buses, throwing acid over a 14 year old in Beit Shemesh for wearing jeans. The modesty squad breaking in to a womans appartment and attacking her, shall i continue or are we seeing a trend here,Hypocracy you dont know the meaning of the word.
8. religious: secular education intolerant of religion
observer   (06.06.11)
Could anyone perhaps name another country that refuses to permit teaching the accepted orthodox religion in state schools? I'm not talking about those countries that totally separate state and religion, but which, like Israel, permit only the officially-sanctioned distorted version to be taught.
9. 7Haim These are exceptions.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.06.11)
Nobody can deny that violence is much bigger in the secular world.
10. 1 Can you be clearer ,please?

"exactly like our democratic government that listens to the voters " and then turn around and do exactly the opposite of what they've promised. What a democracy and what a government!
12. Seculars on Religious Education
Bruria   (06.06.11)
Does anybody know the percentage of kids who even know the history of Israel? How many secular kids know the history of Jerusalem or Hevron? How many Regligious kids know about the 6 Day war, or the Yom Kippur war? Perhaps five hundred people does not represent us that correctly.Our education system should teach all of our history and why our people died for this land. If the kids are brought up hating most things Israeli including each other, what will they become? We all need more tolerance of each other. This constant infighting is doing what the Arab legions have been unable to do up until now...
