Avi K -“Health, one cannot be a complete Jew in the Lands of Tuma (as per Chazal). Ramban even says that the mitzvot Jews do do there are just to keep from getting rusty.”
Here you go with your mind games again. Why don’t you just admit you were wrong?
You posted the most appropriate thing for Jewish events is “Hatikva.”
And I posted – “but what does Zionism have to do with Jewish events? Yes, in the US many Jewish schools who were pro the Medina sang these Zionist songs at their events. But to claim that it’s the most appropriate for Jewish events is ludicrous. Are you saying you can’t be a Good Jew outside of Israel if you aren’t a Zionist?”
You didn’t answer my question – why is “Hatikva” appropriate for Jewish events?!?!
I don’t care how much you love the Israeli gov., but what does the Medina’s national anthem have to do with Judaism outside of Israel?!?!?
