Shulamit, in the USA most Reform people do NOT have Jewish neshamos, and the same is slowly becoming true with Conservatives.

This thing with the Reform and Conservative rabbis is good. You see, government involvement in the lives of religious yidden has greatly corrupted the frum world, with different parties fighting over funds. It’s all been a tremendous chillul Hashem and has caused many Jews to hate Torah and rabbeim. As a result, most Israelis, even the ones who don’t have any interest in Conservative and Reform, view them with great sympathy, because they are up against the ‘religious establishment’ that they hate. Now, with Conservative and Reform supported by the government, they too, will be corrupted, and no longer viewed with favor.

I think that many oour posters just don’t understand democracy. Whether you like it or not- Israel is ruled according to the majority of votes .Even the Supreme Court (in Israel) can be subordinated to the majority rule. So, to all of those who keep on throwing the pips from the peanut gallery- make alyah, work with your respective orthodox parties and win the argument and the majority. The, you can decide whom to fund or not to fund. This is why the outlier groups like Neturei karta will never achieve their goal (thank HKBH) because you must engage in the political process today to succeed.

It is sad when basic respect for others is not maintained. just as many consider chareidi extremists tinnokot shenishbeu, one ought be as least as charitable in the other direction. those living in Israel contribute to its success and are deserving of recognition for that.

Shulamit: You are correct. Reform and Conservative PEOPLE have Jewish Neshamos. Reform and Conservative clerics, who sin and cause their people to sin, DO NOT.

What’s the matter. Are we afraid that frumkeit can’t compete against the imposters without the use of force?

If the world sees the Jewish people united we will suffer a lot less. You may not like the Reform or Conservative movements, but the people are nevertheless Jewish, with a Jewish Neshama.

akuperma – You should stop using the term “zionist” so freely and try to understand the tefilot you say everyday.

We are all Zionist we just have different ways.

Some of us believe that despite the government, despite the Erev Rav and despite the Erev Ze’ir after the destruction in Europe Hashem gave us another chance to regroup in our land before the final redemption. We don’t always understand Hashem’s ways but it is clear to anyone with out blinders that after countless wars that were determine to be military impossible to win without the Yad Hashem, the Bracha of Hashem. The State of Israel exist today only because of the direct help of Hashem and not because of any natural laws of nature.
