31. #18, Standing on the shoulders of gun powder.
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.10.14)
The gun powder cannot take it any longer. An explosion will come soon unless the explorer gets down to the ground and starts sharing in the burden. Am Israel lo ihiye kaha!!!
32. 18 Both were fair !
robert ,   antwerp belgium   (03.10.14)
In the case of Israƫl a percentage of motivated and capable young people , wether in Thora studies or in university studies, should be allowed to help the country with their skills. To be fair, an examination could determine who can be allowed to pursue his studies and who should go to the army
33. 32 Robert,some boys have many skills
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.10.14)
Tora combat and science ,like your son and his great friends.They are Israel's elite. The joyful ,enthusiastic dancing and songs at his marriage showed how much his hearty friends were happy for him,they were dancing in a circle,holding each other tightly like they were, one for all and all for one. Mazal Tov.
34. Ora..the ultra orthodox know nothing about the holocaust
Al   (03.10.14)
thus they are indifferent to the reality of Israel. Indeed the enemy will not and does not differentiate between the ultra orthodox or the secular, thus the orthodox ought to do their part of securing the State. The fact that they do not does not endear them to anyone and thus their fate is of no real concern to the majority. You reap what you sow, and in their case they have reaped the scorn of the majority. The majority is tired of them, their Rabbis and their schnorrer ways. They have earned the contempt of the majority. That is a Chillul Hashem, only in their closed self righteous world, we are all goyim as they are the only true Tzaddikim.
35. Jewish State for all Jews or Sparta for Macho Jews
Ben ,   New York USA   (03.11.14)
At the advent of the state of Israel Ben Gurion agreed to allow the Yeshiva students to be exempt from the draft to keep peace between Israel's Jewish population that was secular on one extreme and very charedi on the other. Now with Lapid in power this agreement was torn up and there is great friction. The Cahreid position is should Israel be a small Military nation with every man with a gun and small kippa or a land where all Jews, including Torah scholars, can proudly comfortably live. As a JEW I listen to scores of elder rabbis that know the whole Torah by heart over slick looking politician Lapid. My Judaism did not start in 1948, it started at Sinai.
36. 31 Michael, Israel Kaja
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.10.14)
Where is the speed of sound quicker than the speed of light? In Israel,where the hooting of cars are half a second quicker than the changing of light. And now have some Kreplech and a bit of schnapps. Enjoy life,Michael.
37. 30 and every Jew studied Tora...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.10.14)
38. 33 Ora . thank God, my heart warms up...
robert ,   antwerp belgium   (03.12.14)
