1. Egotism innate drives the divide
Zechariah   (07.28.15)
Innate and Fixed Egotism drives the divide.But there are areas of agreed principles like Peah the Corner of the Field Laws when and how much it is Righteous to give to the poor the orphans the widows the stranger who is a convert the stranger who is a resident .and you ought leave unharvested food according to the poverty in the area. Most agree that Murder is a crime and many social ills ought be fought . On these agreements and some disagreements dialogue is possible . More respect is to be encouraged you don't have to be best friends and meet for coffee every morning .
2. Yes, in the face of Ayatollah Bomb we're all equal.

4. The media can help bridging the
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.29.15)
gap by focusing on the good sides of Haredim .
5. We all know what secular public schools are like
Sam   (07.29.15)
and what their behavior is like. It's best they don't mix with religious Jews - whose moral standing is above above above that - until they are taught some morals and values.
6. 2#5
heifait ,   Haifa   (07.30.15)
We all know what religious schools are (especially after yesterday's announcement of bagrut percentage in J-m, Bnei Brak and suchlikes) so it's best they keep their opinion for themselves - until they are taught some science, math, physics, earning their bread and defending our land (or at least some respect too people that are doing it)
7. To Number 5
Arielush ,   Mevo Hama   (07.31.15)
What are secular high schools like compared to the religious? In secular schools there are forty kids in the classroom as opposed to 25 in the religious schools. Religious schools also have more up to date resources, better school buildings etc. They also have more financial resources through all kinds of donations. So it's no wonder there's a growing rift between secular and religious. That rift will continue to grow until there is equal education for all children.

Big Yossi ,   Israel   (08.02.15)
You're so right: the Jews ... er, I mean the religious, are your misfortune ....
