Jakob ,   God's Land   (11.18.10)
32. 30 , who is hating studying haredim ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.18.10)
We , seculars only hate those who "study" at OUR expenses , do not contribute to society and don't serve the State .
33. 31 Jacob

If you are G-d fearing,than, if you follow G-ds commandements,you have nobody and nothing to fear except G-d.

Charles, this is something I've been thinking about since I first figured out who the Haredi are and what they are doing. Is maintaining a new generation of people who are as intimately knowledgeable of the Torah as I presume Haredi to be (if they are only studying Torah, they should be incredibly knowledgeable) in itself an irreplaceable service to the whole Jewish family? I think they are, and in fact, I would provide them whatever resources they need, provided they procreate as many offspring as possible and do their study-the-Torah job faithfully. And provided they agree to go wherever I want them to live. New "settlements" (i.e. towns and cities) would have Haredi families seeded among them and they would be required to show to the rest of the settlement what they have studied and how it applies to them . It just makes sense to have a subgroup of the Jewish family whose emphasis would be all-Torah-all-the-time. If they divided up the Promised land into sections for large family groups, I wouldn't even give them a section - studying the torah is what they'd get instead.

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.19.10)
Living in Alaska you don't pay for those [ mostly ] worthless students . They don't contribute , for most of them , to the knowledge of tora . I'll remember you that for me the tora is only the History of MY people as there is NO god at all . The same tora "students" abroad are not paid by the countries they are living in . They have to work to feed their family . Another point , they try to impose their lifestyle on everybody here . They do it even abroad , on a "private" way [ by asking you not to drive your car Shabbat , by shouting at you if you do it , and so on ] . I have'nt to love them , only one or two deserve it .
37. To John and others
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.19.10)
Israel would be much better without most of those charidim , they are only a burden to our Country .
38. 37Charles Am i included in the "others"
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.19.10)
Just to know if i may answer you.
39. 37Charles,no answer is also an answer
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.10)
Thanks,my best enemy.Best,because i have no other. Thanks G-d.
40. Instead of rebashing Haredi
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.10)
Atheists need some fresh food for thought.
41. To #36 Charles
John DeLancy ,   Alaska, USA   (11.22.10)
I'm sad to hear that you are so estranged from the G-D of Avraham, Yitzaak and Ya'akov that you can't admit that He exists. I will pray for the LORD to reacquaint you with Himself. You'll like Him, Charles - He's good and never runs out of mercy!
42. 41John
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.22.10)
I tried hard and gave up.I wish you success,John.
43. 42 , Ora . Youy wish good luck to a goy
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.23.10)
who tries to convert me ?
44. 43 Charles
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.23.10)
First of all you are a 100%Jew,nobody needs to convert you. I should have known that "my goodluck"would hurt you.I made a big mistake.Very very sorry,Charles.
45. 41 . Jews have seen his "mercy"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.23.10)
It's sad that people in the 21 st century still "believe" in something they call "god" . Your god ? this jesus !
46. To #45 Charles

Charles, The reason I believe in YHWH, the G-D of the Scriptures, who created all things, drew out His people from Mitzraim by the hand of Moshe, brought them into the Promised Land, returned them to the Promised Land after the Exile and returned them to the Promised Land again after they were scattered to the ends of the earth is because He has done all these things. You don't have to believe in the Almighty Whom your fathers served and Who is working today to return Jews to the Promised Land. You can stubbornly refuse to believe, even after all nations are arrayed against Israel and He again fulfills his word by delivering Israel from her enemies. Stubbornly refusing to believe in the G-D who fulfills prophecies spoken millennia ago is your own decision. Oh - and don't dictate to me whom I must serve, especially since you serve only yourself. As with the other post, I allow you the last word. My last word is that I believe in and serve the real and only G-D, YHWH.
47. to 46
Charles ,   Petachy Tikva   (11.24.10)
You have'nt to allow me anything , it's not in your prerogatives as a goy . See my # 100 unther "intermarriage"

John DeLancy ,   Alaska, USA   (11.24.10)
I was going to let you have the last word in our little exchange, as one HUMAN BEING to another. But your disgraceful attitude demands some sort of reply. When you are talking to someone, please try to address them, not as accident-of-birth Jew vs. something-else-that-is-obviously-lesser-in-your-view, but instead as a fellow HUMAN BEING. That way, you don't sound like a pompous buffoon. This does bring us back, full circle to the topic of this article, though - so your buffoonery is not without some useful purpose. I do hope that you and all Jews, whether by choice or by accident of birth, do procreate as much as is possible. Unlike Charles, those Jews who do live up to their purpose on earth as a light to the nations are important to this world. Whether Heredi or whatever group, more Jews mean more light to the nations. So to all Jews, please: פרו ורבו

Charles   (11.25.10)
you are better as i am in two things : English , not my mother's tongue , and insulting , not my way . The topic of this article : NOT YOUR BUSINNES .
50. 48 , don't answer , i will not read your things anymore
Charles ,   P.T.   (11.25.10)
51. 50 Don't tell me what I can and can't respond to!
