"My God", "Your God", " His God" See video from Gaza which I took when I was there a month ago as peace activist . I explored the concentration camp called Gaza. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/FCRJrdCowMc

I don't know what goes on in Israel with your Rabbi's but I'm sure many are Loved too.

The discoveries made by the new archaeology discredited a great exodus in the 13th century BC. Moses could not have led the Hebrews out of Egypt into the Promised Land, for the good reason that the latter was Egyptian territory at the time. And there is no trace of either a slave revolt against the pharaonic empire or of a sudden conquest of Canaan by outsiders.

It's not a question of loving or hating your rabbis, Yackov, but rather how much political-economic power they have. I'm sure the rabbis in Joburg are on the payrolls of the community and shuls, and earn accordingly. Here, the issue is that they took some rabbis on public salaries and decided to pay them triple the national average. Not only does it stink, but it's just another ugly chapter in the dirty religious politics of Israel. Yes, we certainly do need to clean our religious house.

Linda, your god sucks - like any other god, it's just a metaphor, a story - an invention by men to control other men. When are you and your friends gonna wake up? What is it "to be Jewish"? From today, I decide I am Gradfuklartumnbdukwasirwish and I declare that I have been chosen by God ! How does it sound to you? Crazy? To me too

The Yetziyah occurred ca. BCE 1453-67. Archeologists haven't found anything because they've been looking in the wrong time AND the wrong parts of the Sinai. When they catch up, then they'll find more corroboration to what has already been found.

Mormon Latter Day Saints are viewed as covenant, or chosen, people; they have accepted the name of Jesus Christ. Latter Day Saints do not dispute the "chosen" status of the Jewish people. But, they believe that they built the First Ever Zion in the world and that the idea of Zionism was copied from them by Jews.

Jarda ! what's the base of your claim of ownership of the czech republic ?.

Yetzirah ( עולם יצירה in Hebrew) is the third of four worlds in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Has not anybody told you that the Kabbalistic Tree of Life is superstition, is not fact. Another fact, they will never recognize a convert as born Jew.

They do not understand the world that most people live in. They have never taken a course in psychology or sociology. They have no idea how to deal with individual problems - all they can say is "this is the halachah!"

respect Rabbis.

not Yetzirah .

observer ! archaeologycally you may be right,but it's a fact,Jews in Israel speak the same language,practice the same religion as the inhabitants of the land did 3000 years ago,can you say the same thing about the people of Egypt today ?.

Get an education. The most pristine Teimani Jews don't believe in Qabalah. You know what it makes you to jump to assumptions?

All we need is love...

Of course you have something called "PROOF" to back up your allegations ? If so, present it here and now, and while you're at it, answer my so very easy questions Just whom do you think is feeding all the Palestinian Freeloaders in the refugee camps, if it's not America ?

How about telling a Catholic Priest to remove his robes just as they did 1200 years ago, or a MInister to take off his collar since he is wearing it backwards Do something useful, sweep the gutter in front of your flop house

For your Imam's and Khadi's with the rags wrapped around their heads, wearing clothing that looks like a dress I wonder what you must look like, you're so full of hatred, it must really be disgusting< something like the Witch in the Qizard of Oz

Who are the ones who incite adherents/groupies to commit crimes and misdemeanors...all in the name of religion? Rabbis etc. Who are the ones who preach one thing and do the opposite...all in the name of religion? Rabbis etc. Who are the ones who deliberately misinterpret/transgress "well thought-out" secular laws to oppress society...all in the name of religion? Rabbis etc. Since modern society has no use for these retrogressive creatures, let these rabbis and their followers emigrate to places where such obtuse mindsets are welcome e.g. Iran, Saudi Arabia and the like. Freedom from religion = Freedom from oppression.

Curious your newspaper says on the top of this talkbacks "Comments containing incitement, slander, racist slurs and inappropriate language deemed to violate our terms of use won't be published." So why you let this Assaf Wohl to write an article completely full of slander, racist slur against Charedim and incitement. And I supposed you paid him too for that. I am more and more convinced that the most antisemitic language in this generation comes from people like Assaf and Israel has become the most antisemitic Country in the World.....And your newspaper is giving them room to call out their horrible hate against Jews like many times others made in our History....once again !!!!

How many people just dont like being shown that they are wrong!

hated. what about deserting their followers to their fate in europe while saving themselves; but this is also superficial- the real reasons lie deeply buried outside of the historical record and beyond our ability to deal with.

Tell your song & dance to Priests and Ministers, who have dressed the same way for a longer period Tell it to the Muslims, who wear the same style of clothing they did 1400 years ago

Prove to me that G-D spoke to you, then I may believe what you say Until then, you'll be just like any other person that claims he communicates with G-d, a nutcase in need of treatment

the truth.

Let's talk about rabbinical coercion, corruption and greed AND about breaking the Shabbat rules. This includes all types, ultra orthodox, orthodox, conservative, reform, lubavitchers. Didn't you ever read what David and his companions did when they were hungry, how they entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat? And didn't you ever read in God's Law that priests carrying out their Temple duties break Shabbat rules all the time, and it is not held against them? There is far more at stake here than religion. What do you think this Scripture means, when G-d notes that 'I prefer a flexible heart to an inflexible ritual'? Why do you use rules to play "fast and loose" with G-d's commands? You cancel G-d's command by your rules. Frauds! Isaiah's prophecy of you hit the bull's-eye! "These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn't in it. They act like they're worshiping God, but they don't mean it. They just use G-d as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy" (Isaiah 29:13). You are hopeless, you religion scholars, you Pharisees! Frauds! Your lives are roadblocks to G-d's kingdom. You refuse to enter, and you won't let anyone else in either. You go halfway around the world to make a convert, but once you get him, you make him into a replica of yourselves, double-damned. What arrogant stupidity. You burnish the surface of your cups and bowls so they sparkle in the sun, while the insides are maggoty with your greed and gluttony. Stupid Pharisee! Scour the insides and then the gleaming surface will mean something. You are like manicured grave lots, grass clipped and the flowers bright, but six feet down it's all rotting bones and worm-eaten flesh. People look at you and think you are saints, but beneath the skin you are total frauds! Snakes! Reptilian sneaks! Do you think you can worm your way out of this? Never have to pay the piper? It's on account of people like you that G-d sends prophets and wise guides and scholars, generation after generation -- and, generation after generation you treat them like dirt, greeting them with lynch mobs, hounding them with abuse. You can't squirm out of this. Every drop of righteous blood ever spilled on this earth, beginning with the blood of that good man Abel right down to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah's son, whom you murdered at his prayers, is on your heads. All this, is coming down on you, on your generation.
