hearts go to heaven, whether Jew or Gentile. All who understand have the right to the secret place of God: under the tent with four wings (strings at corners) of the talit when they pray or read what is holy. There are separate covenants for Jews and Messianic Jews/Gentiles, but only one God and one heaven. Jews put tradition before scripture at times which is the error of Gentiles, too.

JNF for Jews to work on Saturday for the JNF. Rabbi Yeshua said it was all right to do what was needful on the Shabbat. Bringing in charity money for the poor is needful since the temples collect money on Saturdays.

36. Better for her NOT to work with the JNF
Tali ,   Givatayim   (12.28.07)
Efi STENZLER, now chairman of the board of KKL - JNF, is accused of sexual misconduct and sexual harassment of a female engineer of the municipality of Givatayim at the time that Effi Stenzler was the mayor of Givatayim.
37. Josh , ignorant goy
charles ,   petach tikva   (12.29.07)
The KKL was founded in 1901 , before the British mandate and owns only 14 % of the Israeli surface . In those 14 % are included the many parks and reserves they preserve for all of us . Your ignorance exceeds all the permitted limits of it , normal for you , with a brain smaller than a pinhead .

39. #37 - My point still stands under your attack

It is true that in 2006 the 17% figure is the on-paper statistic. However, JNF/KKL turned the land over to a Goverment agency that they have to control over the nominations (not very democratic). They get to nominate 10 of the 22 directors. The other two they need to control the majority, they can buy as almost all politicians are for sale now-a-days.. It basically still is a JNF controlled agency that holds and rents 93% of the land in Israel. I could find no figures on how much of the lease ("sale") income is eventually funneled back to JNF coffers. maybe someone less insulting than Chuckles can post this infomation. So Chuckles touting the BS figure of 17% only shows how easily unobservant people are duped.Technically correct but isnt all propaganda. They should sell it not lease it to Jews. KKL/JNF/ILA With a goverment that "evacutes" Jews from areas so that a Jew-free Palestinian state can be formed, the idea of leasing land to the Jews but giving it to the Arabs is appauling regardless of who is controlling such devices.
40. Stupid distorting josh
charles ,   petach tikva   (12.31.07)
No , they can only name 10 members . Do you think that you can buy anybody or everything ? not everyone agrees to sell a conversion certificate either , only this one who sold it to you . No , the KKl has to lease the grounds she owns , that was , is and will be so . That is written in her statutes , or decided when the KKl was founded . Gaza is only related to this problem in a non jewish stupid hatefull part of body , that by normal persons is called head with brains .
41. #40 Doesnt make any sense
Josh   (12.31.07)
I can only laugh. Really I cant stop laughing right now. I can only think one who is Christian and hates me so much for exposing Jesus as not matching a single prophecy, well he must be going crazy with that fact. He cant get a foothold in these talkbacks anymore. he cant missionize effectively. Time to find another line of work, cause this shop is closed for rebuilding. Anyone who know liars knows they shoot for the sky. Why would I say I was a conservative convert or for that matter even buy a conservative conversion paper. A liar and cheat would just say I am full blood Jewish. Even claim they are a secular orthodox. A liar would also not buy a conservative conversion document but an orthodox one. Even go as far as to fabricate a Jewish document. On the internet a liar could be anyone they want. For example Paquid could, if he wanted to, say he is an orthodox ordained authority, or better yet post under the name charles, that is if he were a liar he could say and do anything he wants. Laughter coming on again.
42. Well done Tali of Givatayim
Nom ,   Petach Tikva   (10.10.08)
We need more like you in EVERY town.
43. It's the 21st Century.. listen to yourselves!!
Gene ,   Future Oleh   (10.11.08)
Talkbackers, please listen to yourselves! You are ADULTS, right? And you want to boycott the JNF.. because they break Shabbat? You would be hurting one of the most proactive pro-Jewish organizations to ever exist, just because they don't subscribe to the same backwards medieval superstitions that all of you do!! Grow up people!! Shabbat is a day like any other, no matter what ancient book of fairy tales told you otherwise!!
44. JNF should loose all government funds..........
MIRIAM ,   ISRAEL   (10.11.08)
If it expects Jews to work on Shabbat! I will never again give tzedaka to JNF. SHAME ON JNF!
45. what is the problem?
Lisa ,   switzerland   (02.16.09)
Israel- homeland of the Jewish people. Modern democracy for all Israelis (religious or secular) ? or religious, observing all Jewish religious laws- hundreds of them... the country needs to decide who is in charge and who makes the laws- and who is enforcing them. Is it religious laws or basic human rights ? I read TBs and despite what most Tbackers think and write: the major problems are from within the country- not from the outside. This kind of disputes and controversies weaken Israel as a country- Israel can only be a strong and viable country if it is united- it needs to decide what it stands for- the people need to decide what they want: religious or secular...
46. #32 blame the gentiles
Lisa ,   switzerland   (02.16.09)
sooner or later someone was going to get around to this: let's blame the Gentiles- they get blamed for everything that is wrong in Israel and the world- we know, we heard! LOL
