ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.23.12)
to revise their extreme dislike towards Haredi Jews and may be do a tiny step towards Tora and the Golden Middle way.

6. Golden Way is Dati Leumi, NOT Haredi Ultra-Orthodox!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.23.12)
If you want to go the Golden Way, deal with it.
7. Ora , for your info !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.23.12)
This self proclaimed "paqid" is only a non acknowledged "convert" to Judaism , he can't give any name of a TRUE rabbi who acknowledged this . He's also a follower of yeshua , AKA jesus . For him only the tora counts , nothing that was added later . Not Jewish at all . Not to forget the way he deceived people with : "ministry of absorption" as heading of his website .

When this guy had spitted on that girl , you said that i may not generalise , it was an exeption , a rotten apple . This guy is also an exeption [ not a rotten apple of course ] a good one . His father became smart by leaving his anti Zionist feelings .
9. Interesting my kids who are very religious chose to serve
Al   (09.23.12)
against the wishes of their mother who became haredi.(Professional religious). She tried everything she new, enlisting them in bogus yeshivas etc etc. It didnt help her, the kids decided they have to get on with life, so they decided to join the army. I have to laugh... I always told my kids that god may love you but you better learn to shoot straight, if you choose to live in Israel. I was raised in the golus where being religious is not a profession but rather a life choice. Maybe just maybe Judaism ought to be chosen as a way of life instead of a profession. You can love god 24/7, just make sure you can shoot straight as well. To the young soldier, say your prayers but learn to shoot straight.
10. Ora
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (09.23.12)
Don't push it, it is people like you who think they are perfect and always right. That you have the chutzpah to think all your claptrap is going to bring back people to religion is wishful thinking. Give up trying always to preach to us. it is none of your business whatever we believe. too many people have died in the name of religion. You can believe whatever you want, just don't try to convert anyone. I'm fed up with all the drivel you write.
11. "in his older age"

Oh, right, that means "when he grew up..."

ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.23.12)
wheel turns. Many children of secular people become baalei Teshuva. The first pioneers of Israel were children of Haredim.
13. Ora , those children became smart
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.24.12)
and left this "childish superstition" . Do you have some names ? Don't forget t6hat charedim OPPOSED the creation of a State for the Jews . Can you give the number of the "many children of secular ....." They were not sane , sane people can't be brainwashed [ your own words ]
14. 10 Mordechai 1]Why would people..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.24.12)
like i Fast Yom Kippur,if we thought we are perfect ? 2} I don t think it is chutzpa to HOPE that Israel will become AM EHAD by following G-Ds guidebook ,the Tora. Nothing great can be accomplished without a so called" wishful thinking" , or better said a dream, a vision. 3} i have the same right as any body else to give my opinion.I can only convince people who wish to become religious, hence i do not intend to waste my time with those who do not want . I am not sure you belong to the last category,since you read" all the drive i write" People have died in the name of religion? Do not try to live for ever,you will not succeed. Anyhow,i wish you to live untill 120 in good health,having a life filled with love ,joy and happiness. Shana Tova.
15. 9 Al There is no contradiction...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.24.12)
of being religious and serving. Kol Hakavod for your sons. Many non-religious mothers would rather not have their sons in the IDF. Yes,i think you are right about making sure you shoot straight. Notwithstanding that i wish right from my heart : May a well prepared IDF included your skilful and smart sons, with G-Ds help, subdue the enemy without fighting. Shana Tova to you Al.
16. 14 , you can only convince INSANE people
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.24.12)
Not Sane ones [ your own words ! ]
17. 16 Charles ,calm down, you are not..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.24.12)
at risk. You are FAR TO sane. Happy?
