1. They promote Suanne Vega, so why can't they promote Judaism?
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (07.15.10)
Why is it even news that some promote Judaism in the Jewish state?
2. Thanks for the info we will boycot cafe cafe
Avi ,   Israel   (07.15.10)
Why should people have religion shoved down their throats when they go for a cup of coffee ? Do people realise that the rabinute are taking their 10% somehow i doubt it.
3. WHY IS THIS A STORY?
what ,   telaviv, israel   (07.15.10)
who cares if you get a prayer booklet with your receipt? you can take it or leave it. Why is every stupid thing made into a discussion on secular-religious relations???
4. What?! Why do jews have to be jewish!?
joe ,   israel(maybe palesti   (07.15.10)
i thought israel was a Jewish democratic state. does that mean that in a jewish democracy one may not hand out jewish stuff. this sounds more like it came out of palestine. i smell the end of israel. oh and by the way, stop hating yourself, your jewish and most probably your parents or grandparents were haredi, so stop hating yourself
5. They have just lost my custom
Sagi   (07.15.10)
From now on it's only Aroma.
6. non issue !!!!
chaya ,   central israel   (07.15.10)
why is this even an issue. we live in a democratic country. you want it take, you don't nobody's forcing it down your throat ! it's offered to wake up that jewish spark on others. stop hating yourself and thinking that if you hate judaism the rest of the world will love you.
7. #2 - Look in the mirror and say "You are stupid."
YMBMY ,   Modiin, Israel   (07.15.10)
So what - a kosher chain gives out some prayers along with vouchers for Suzanne Vega. This offends you that you need to boycott the chain. Maybe those who don't like Suzanne Vega should boycott the chain as well. Ever since Spain rejected the Israel gays marching in their Pride parade, you depression must have worsened. Thankfully Ynet allows an outlet for you to express your irrational thoughts. My wish is that someday, your loved ones will read the religious literature and realize that it is not your irrational thoughts that have kept the Jews as a people for thousands of years, but rather our ability to preserve the religion.
8. #2 another psychotic incident?
Mocho Joe ,   Tel Aviv   (07.15.10)
Mellow out you idiot.
9. absurd
nadav ,   tlv israel   (07.15.10)
"god" help us all if this country turns into another Hamastan, Saudi Arabia, or Iran! stop the haredization of the country!!
10. booklet to encourage WORKING for a living!g
nadav ,   tel aviv   (07.15.10)
Orthodoxy is NOT being "jewish"- it's being fanatic, backward and superstition. Maybe they should give out booklets encouraging the religious to actually WORK for a living, rather than living off the tax money of a state they hate!
11. You tell them #6 way to go
(07.15.10)
12. From now on this where i'm going to have my coffee
Deb ,   Akko Israel   (07.15.10)
13. Out of 100 branches 13 kosher in the JEWISH state
m   (07.15.10)
and it still buggs you? Have you heard of free enterprise? They can give out anything they like! When arabs wouldn't let Jewish soldiers in their restaurant you were not that upset. Ynet your people start to look a bit tsedreit in the kopf, get a life (a Jewish one if possible)
14. to #2 Avi
ytzhak ,   france   (07.15.10)
have you forgotten that you are a jew ???
15. Religious advertising
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.15.10)
We get hoards of adverts in the mailbox, advert solicitors when entering shopping centers, video street adverts (that interrupt driving) - and now religious advertising upon receiving our bill for coffee. I am so glad that I don't like coffee.
16. What a wonderful gesture!
Ram ,   London   (07.15.10)
Kol Hakavod Cafe' Cafe'. What nicer way can there be to make everybody feel comfortable. It is very sad that secular Jews see this gesture as offensive even though nobody is forcing them to read the content. Israel is for the Jews and the sooner its jewish population can take this on board the better! For 4000 years your ancestors insured your present existence!!!
17. religious have hijacked jewish identity !!
avi   (07.15.10)
to be jewish is NOT being part of a religion BUT of a People, with One ancester, Abraham, One leader, Abraham's G.d, One place on earth, Israel.
18.  not to be Jewish and not religion then your not Real a Jew
Deb   (07.15.10)
19. Nice Menu
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat   (07.15.10)
I'm fond of their offering of fish with municipality (עירית) otherwise known as Chives.
20. nadav @ 9, does Israel really have a chance
leo ,   usa   (07.15.10)
of becoming another Hamastan, Saudi Arabia or Iran? Would you care to support your claim?
21. Cafe Cafe; To #2 and #6
Edgy ,   Cedarhurst, USA   (07.16.10)
Are you so insecure in your irreligiosity that you are afraid that reading a pamphlet could cause you to become religious? If so, perhaps you are more religious than you let on. And if you did become religious again or anew, of your own free will -would that be a bad thing?
22. Dani @ 1 , They have an exclusive cooperation deal
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.16.10)
with Susanne Vega , not with god
23. Edgy @ 21
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.16.10)
What would religious people say if they received , with their bill , a folder with pics that promotes women's underwear ? They will protest , the same when i would receive religious promotions , i don't need it , straight to the trash bin .
24. m, @ 13 . LEARN TO READ
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.16.10)
13 branches are GLATT kosher , there are probably others who are kosher too .
25. To Charles, Avi and Nadav
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (07.16.10)
Why is it that it's so typical? All of you who feel offended by anything related to Jewishness live in the same region, have the same political inclinations and the same taste in sex. Does it come all as a package or can you chose to let one of the items out?
26. Ynet
Gill ,   Tel aviv   (07.16.10)
congrats!!! Ynet you know how to spread love!!!!! I know now that my one spot for coffee is cafe cafe. If they can respect the secular along with the religious than for me that is great!!! And for all secular and religious who fear that learn to live with it.
27. We're supposed to talk of Torah not do cantations
Josh   (07.16.10)
The law is that we speak of Torah on our way. That means the words of the prophet Moses, NOT a famous Rabbi. Nothing but Babylonian (Magi) kabalah magic and coffee. Asure! Another fanous coffee shop offers Christian newspapers. Both are about as good for your souls as a parasite is to a street cat.
28. To Charles from Petach Tikva the knolwdge dispenser from #13
m   (07.16.10)
For you kosher might mean "kosher style" too, Glat kosher is kosher. Having kosher food and open on Shabat is not kosher. How much Judaism do you know?
29. cafe, cafe
marcia lewis ,   miami florida   (07.16.10)
so what's the big deal if this chain wants us to be better Jews. client sounds kike an atheist.
30. M , learn to read , ignorant
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.16.10)
You can have glatt kosher , badats , and kosher . Food on ELAL is always Kosher , some want "glatt kosher" Lemehadrin . Did you understand mr Ignorant ?
