because you chose to go stand with the eruv rav and you CLOSED YOUR EARS!!!! And the Jewish people have been paying the price for your folly ever since! I am proud to say that MY son did walk out on such performances. In my eyes, he is a tzadik!

I will LIVE for Israel and DIE for her only if I have too. Even though I am traditional/secular. You have no right to question my Zionism after living here by choice for 30 years, having doe military service and my FULL QUOTA of reserve duty, including an extra 5 years " on the house". The fanatics, who are mainly Haredi are detrimental to the morale of the army and we should not have let them be called up. Look what they are doing to the morale. I hate the draft dodgers as much of you, but you should not taint all TA residents as such. Just to let you know, my son is trying out for an elite unit, and my younger vilunteers in the fire brigade, so please respond responsibly.

We constantly complain about haredim trying to force their way of life on Israeli society even as they dodge the draft. Well here are patriotic young men who are serving in the military, but only ask that their religious preferences be respected, and the IDF has the unmittigated gaull to give them a hard time about it. Iam modern orthodox, and have no problem listening to a woman sing, but they definitely have not to listen if they don't want to.

dates from five generations before our s, by having rejected their children who became secular.From there the inherited BLIND hate Secular nowadays have against the Orthodoxy . The secular are blind to the considerable contribution of the Tora to the world.[The justice system of the civilised world is based on the Tora.] Depriving the Tora values from Israeli youth was a big mistake. Look at the alcohol plague in the IDF I sincerly hope that you ,a truly loyal Israeli would reconsider the possibility to realize the Israeli Dream with ALL Israeli together.

for this the Rabbi should be treated like a traitor- this is official mutiny against the General and IDF- . Why does the army cater to this and make allowances? There can only be ONE leader- all these Rabbi -would- be -generals should be shut up. They can eat their Jewish heritage- start earning their own money and pay taxes instead of mooching off the public.

separating religion and state it is the only way a country can survive- look what happens in Iran. The religious nuts are politicians- now the rabbis tell the army how to run its business? There is a time to fight and be a good soldier, and there is a time to be pious and pray- the army can only have one general in charge, not x rabbis adding their 5 cents worths of wisdom. Today the soldiers refuse to listen to women sing, tomorrow they refuse to follow orders on the battlefield-
