He is nothing but an empty suit and arrogant "shvitzer" and a disgrace to the state of Israel. He comes to America to do and say things against the state of Israel whom he is supposed to represent. A disgrace!!!!

Shabbat is a good day as any to put the kybosh on you Askhanazi extorshonist.

You said, You all are hypocrites, so prove it. I am in the US. I keep Shabbat. I also condemn Lapid for his violation of Shabbat. You have NO understanding of Torah Hartley. It matters not where in the world one is, The Creator expects His Commandments to be obeyed. And, btw, It is not only for Jews but for everyone who wishes to be a part of His Kingdom. It makes no difference what the Rabbi's say or the Christian Ministers say. It only matters what Torah says. Keep your statistics and your willingness to live as Romans to yourself. The Jewish People have already had their experiences with Romans and don't need anymore. You may consider me a hypocrite, however, I consider you an ignorant fool.

Be reminded of Menachem Begin who respected shabbos every where El Al does not fly on Shabbos because of the strong character of the late M Begin. No. 28 when you have read his story then comment on being Jewish and respect for Shabbos in NY or in Jerusalem. Time for you like we are doing in SA to connect to Shabbos Jews united and looking deeper meaning to life and our connection with Ha Kodesh Baruch Hu. Let us learn to accept the gift of Shabbos as our unifier and not disregard it as proud Jews. Especial in Public Lapid sa our supposed representative.

Who cant understand the haredy position about it? Lapid plans to hold a press conference on shabat, just a few days after the great sefaradi rabi Yoseph Ovadia died. Is that wrong? Maybe yes, but it is also true that to talk in a conference about finance issues is permisible, in fact we heard a lot of times haredy & orthodox people talking about money & bussiness on shabat. Isint this true?

You don't really know Menachem Begin's thoughts when he used shabbos for his political purposes. Begin did many things on shabbos, including fighting wars. When people started keeping the calendar, they could have picked any day as "shabbos." And they could have made a week last 10 days, whatever. It's all a human choice. My choice is to do shabbos on Wednesdays, nobody can stop me.

Lapid is far from being the right guy for the job. He has not connaissance in economy, doesnt hold any diplome universitaire pertaining to it .... Lapid is just a political prostitute (like many leftits) and what he does is just for personal raecognition. As for You Harold, We don't need you in Israel nor we need Lapid. Keep him with you. Respecting Shabbat has nothing to do with Haredims. It has to do with pride of being Jewish which is a privilege!.

- i don't want him in my country either maybe he should go to western europe instead - he'd fit right in with the ani-israel leftists there.

The PM should not allow his cabinet member meeting with those trying to divide and rule Israel. It is time to stop being outmaneuvered by external entities trying to neutralize Israel's government by way of cultivating loose canons. It is promoting Treason.

rest of the leftists in Israel. "We ourselves are G-ds and we decide for ourselves what is right and wrong".

The Gist of Judaism is equality before the law,social justice,help for the poor and the sick,not rituals,that have nothing to do with daily needs of life.

on Shabath ?.During the conquest of Canaan,under Hoshea ben noon,the people of Israel were not obliged to observe the commandments,today,Israel is at war with enemies of the Jewish people, near and afar,so,everything is permitted in service of the nation,Yair Lapid gave up a lot to serve in this unthankful job,Mr Lapid and the state of Israel owe nothing to the haredim.

If you were Jewish, you'd prove hypocricy by your very words. But since you sound as if you belong to a Christian cult, my tb wasn't directed at you. However, since I don't have anything better to do, I'll reply, overlooking your inane comment about Jewish People and Romans. Honestly! Although your statement that I don't understand Torah infers that you do, I wonder why the world is not holding its breath to hear your interpretations. Care to comment? I simply believe that no omniscient and omnipotent Creator would "dictate" such a hodgepodge of contradictions, virulent rants, vengeful murders and scientific BS as found in those "Good Books." I happen to believe that I was given a brain to use for more than to find my way to some church/mosque/synagogue/rivival tent to listen to what someone else's brain cooked up. For what it's worth, I have no desire to end up in whatever "kingdom" of which you wish to be a part. Is that the place with all those virgins or where winged souls sit around on clouds, playing harps and looking bored out of their sculls, or is it one of those "your guess is as good as mine" big surprise party?? BTW, why do you refer to the Creator as a male? Is that in the Torah, the New Testament, the Koran or the Kamasutra?

for Mr Shamir ?.when Rabin vent abroad on official business,he had a heavy daily schedule,one of his aids suggested,Rabin should prolong his visit by a couple of days,so,he can rest more,Rabin responded,i can't do that,this will add to cost of my stay to the state of Israel.

I don't care what you state. I again say Lapid is the right man to lead Israel for a change. The present Israeli leaders act exactly like Saul, the Israeli first king, who used to be a war monger.

The core values from Judaism stem from the Torah. The things you describe should be the core values of humanity but are often forgotten by the human kind. Lapid the private person can do what he wants. Lapid the Israeli finance minister can't. Not one Israeli will be better of with him attending this conference on Shabbat. Your argument is comparing apples with pears.

Should be Alice #37 and not Alicd #27.

there are thousands working 24/7 including Shabbat in Israel: electric company, Intel, hospitals, airports, army etc. Haredim are cooking and throwing stones on the cars, people are driving cars on Shabbat. Haredi polititians know all above, enjoy industrial civilazation, but representing parasites oblige them to lie.

My #43 was a reply to #33.

After all they're your homies aren't they, so show them how tolerant you're before you lecture me or anyone else how to treat Jews ,...

What values? ,... You mean the ones in your 'good book' that order you to annihilate every living creature, including woman, children and animals in Jericho? Sorry dude but it's not my creator's state of mind or his commandments I'm trying to live by ,...

In these times it is essential that Jews of Israel love one another - It is written "Love one another". Israel is your home. A home divided cannot stand"

Did Mr Lapid claim to be religious and live by religious rules? No he did not, How hypocritical of the harideem even to demand this. Then the harideem claim to represent all of Israel ! Really! Would that include secular people and gay people? What a load of Hypocracy, they clearly have nothing better else to do, which is strange as they sponge off the state claiming they are studying all day, well apparently thats just one more lie from them. They should stay out of other peoples lives and stop forcing their medevil lifestyle on others who do not live by their rules.

THE CORE VALUE : ve'ahavta et re'echa kamocha . Thou shall love your neighboors as yourself . All the rest are comments was said by one of the great Jewish sages
