1. 3 % religious will not pray ????
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.30.08)
Two possibilities : a] not religious at all b] will go to Shul .
2. Israelis celebrate Rosh Hashana
Ger ,   Raanana, Israel`   (09.30.08)
A bunch of hypocrites...break almost every Halachic rule during the year, then rush to a synagogue to pray that they will be forgiven.
3. Ger , what kind of Jew are you ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.30.08)
A ger , convert in other words , has to follow the laws , and not to write on Rosh Hashanah . Otherwise you are'nt converet at all .
4. prayers.
colin   (10.01.08)
Who are these people praying to?? Some idol - Idol worshippers.The new year is for pleasure and happiness not sitting in a building idolising a fantasy.HAVE FUN HAPPY NEW YEAR
5. So what happened to the other 8%?
Yakov   (10.01.08)
69 % attended Orthodox 22% Reform & Conservative. I hope the other 8% are not going to church!!
6. Other alternative - home preparing table for all the others!
Sheila ,   Jerusalem   (10.01.08)
7. #3 YOU wrote today!!!
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.01.08)
which is why you don't know the law about respect toward every ger. They chose to be Jewish as opposed to those of us who inherited it. Shana Tova - hopefully this year you will learn respect for others
8. Sheila , You also wrote
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.01.08)
But a ger HAS to respect the laws . I respect everyone who is sincere , not fake .
9. Yacov , go to school
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.01.08)
69 + 22 = 91 , so not 8 but 9 %
10. Shaeila , you too wrote !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.01.08)
I can't respect "fake" religious gerim .
11. Charles
Yakov   (10.01.08)
Oh, that was a typo. Anyhow, it still doesn't answer the question where did he 9% go. And I sure don't expect you to have that answer.
12. Yakov , i have an answer !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.01.08)
Those 9 % did'nt answer .
13. Charles
Yakov   (10.03.08)
Well, I can understand if some don't want want to answer. That would be OK. I really do hope its not because 9 per cent are atheist. That would be a bad sign. For 10% to be atheist is too much of a loss that in the long run could diminish the numbers further. That needs to looked at.
14. Yakov , you did'nt read well
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.03.08)
54 % responded that they won't participate in prayers at all . I'm amongst them . The last time i was for "prayer" in a synagogue was at the "Shabbat Kalah" of my daughter , That's around 20 years ago .
15. Charles, why? What keeps you away?
Yakov   (10.05.08)
16. Yacov , i'm not believing at all
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.05.08)
That's it . And i'm not a hypocrite , who does everything not allowed the whole year , and then goes to Beth Knesseth Yom Kippour . I'm not saying that you are a hypocrite of course , you are a believer , fine for you . גמר טוב
