Not the local rabbinical courts. Cypress will benefit from this development. It's probably cheaper to ship the entire wedding party over there anyway.

Boycott the rabinute, dont give this corrupt organziation any power to rule our lives. Time to seperate state from religion and let people decide what is meaningful for them. Israel claims to be a democracy yet at the same time does not give couples a choice.

I wont go through all the history here, but Richard Ist of England, was officially crowned duke on 20 July 1189 and king in Westminster Abbey on 3 September 1189. When he was crowned, Richard barred all Jews and women from the ceremony, but some Jewish leaders arrived to present gifts for the new king. According to Ralph of Diceto, Ricard's courtiers stripped and flogged the Jews, then flung them out of court. we must recognize that during Richard the 1sts British reign, and the 3rd crusade through the middle east, the lineage laws changed from the rabbinate of that time. The slaughter and expulsion of Jews from England under Richards rule, crossed over also to the Middle East. The rabbis of that time were scared, as Jewish women were getting raped, and having "non" Jewish babies *lineage was through the father.* Hence a rabbinate law passed to change the lineage through the "mothers side. And here we are today 2011, arguing about who is a Jew.

If you opt for a separation between State and Synagogue, what raison d'être would Israel then have as a "Jewish" State?

This is the only Rabbinic Organization that cares for the People of Israel! I am calling upon the news to step in and keep writing articles about this!

no one in Sweden is allowed to define the difference between Jewish religion and Jewish nationality. If sweden ceases to have Lutheranism as the official State Religion, which could happen at the rate you're allowing in Muslims.... does it mean that Sweden no longer has a "right to exist"? Do you accept that other countries will sit and discuss whether Sweden has a "right to exist"?

2,000 years ago someone spoke out against corruption in The Temple. The followers broke from Judaism and Christianity started. DON'T THEY EVER LEARN. Here again is corruption in the (Temple) synagogue. And worse than ever.

Themost bakward rabbis apparently are in Israel and they leave in the Darkness and sheer bakwardness of the middle age. Good amunition for israel bashers
