the jews of the usa to their capacity need increase support for israel social and security sectors as do the isreali moguls rich from i dont want to know what . its often too disgusting to know but for the sake of protecting the Tzaddikim of all the nations an atonement and afflicting their souls by returning unjust gain is imperitive
4. life in jewish nyc
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (12.18.11)
too bad it is dying from assimilation and intermarriage
5. #4, Jewish leaders should show Jews the beauty of their
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.18.11)
cultural heritage to discourage assimilation. They should try and make things like Christmas and Easter seem like fully secular holidays while explaining the nicer points of the various Jewish holidays. As for intermarriage, you can't control love, so you have to encourage either equal treatment for the two faiths or encourage Judaism over the other faith for the children. It would be nice if something could be done to improve a lot of the Jewish girls here, but that would take miracles. Too many are far too obnoxious. We need to import some Israeli women.
6. to Henry (#): make Aliyah!
dawn ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.18.11)
Jewish leaders need to encourage Jews to make Aliyah, not to stay in chutz L'Aretz. Intermarriage is killing the Jewish people, physically and spiritually. "You can't control love"?!?!? Ha! It's not "love", Henry, it's infatuation. Get over it. Jewish women are awesome. If they're not to your liking in the US, all the more reason to make Aliyah.
7. #6, love is love and I didnt love a Jewish girl until I met
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.19.11)
my Israeli girlfriend who has forbidden me from making alliyah until I have gone to med school in the US. She considers the English-language medical programs in Israel to be sub-par to ours here. Israel needs to improve her facilities of higher learning.
8. Henry - some friendly advice
Zev ,   Israel   (12.19.11)
If you really want to live in Israel don't wait. You will get stuck in America with bills and loans to pay and hopefully growing children. If you do wait you may never get here till you retire and are willing to leave your children and grandchildren. The medical schools in Israel are top class. Check them out for yourself and then decide.
9. Henry!
Eric ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.19.11)
Be very wary when imbibing the Zionist Kool-aid....
10. #8, I have though.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.19.11)
There are two programs, the TAU-NYS (New York State) program and BGU's program. I checked Hebrew University and from what I can tell you cannot get into their program without some very stringent requirements. It is unwise to take courses in Hebrew because it is harder to learn the very difficult concepts in another language. Better to learn in English and then get the necessary Hebrew. She has her eyes set on Cornell Medical College and it's hard to top that, no? #9, I am a proud Zionist. Even if I do not live there. No country is perfect though, I know that.
