I remember bringing people from the Soviet Union who were not Jewish to build up the population figures. We now are making people leave because they want to live in a free and democratic society not a dictatorship.

Since when are Reform converts immersing in the mikveh? Which Reform rabbis even tell their prospective converts about it? Anyway, isn't that an entirely Orthodox institution? Isn't the mikve constructed according to rules formulated by those black-clad Orthodox rabbis that the Reform movement opposes? While we're at it, I could ask the same question about prayer (prayer?!?) in front of an ancient wall -- a wall that those black-coated rabbis have been saying since anyone can remember -- is a holy place. And why is it holy? Eewww, because of that slaughterhouse that supposedly stood on the other side? All of which are ideas promulgated by the Orthodox!! And those ugly black boxes they are fighting to wear?? I think flowers are much prettier. Why do they want to wear Orthodox boxes on their heads? At least paint them a pretty color, not black! Why are they fighting to follow ideas and rulings that emanate from Orthodox rabbis?

to stand out?

how some ynet articles are "more persistent" on the front page than others. Often items that are 3-4 weeks old are somehow considered newsworthy. And for some "really important" articles, when you think no one is noticing, the date seems to be rolled forward, making the article appear more recent than it really is. Whereas other articles -- like this one -- after just 2 days are considered "fish wrap" and relegated to a secondary page. But, of course, if you block this talkback, no one will know, right?
