The Jewish Agencies can't advise about where someone over fifty ought to go for their first place to start life as an Israeli. Can you suggest a place where I might rent a room for around 800 per month in US dollars? The USA causes asthma in many of its citizens so I need to move to a locale that is environmentally sound.<br /><br />Your blog reported at the Jewish Press is most refreshing to read and I hope to learn freely in Israel about how to further Jewish independence at our house anoint he diaspora.<br /><br />Thanks for any information you can provide .<br /><br />Barbara Rubin<br />writersrefuge@outlook.com<br />barbaraspename@outlook.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-70046052802925935562014-11-23T23:32:05.920+02:002014-11-23T23:32:05.920+02:00Judaism is more than a religion, but to say "...Judaism is more than a religion, but to say "it's not a religion" isn't totally true. Unlike any other religion, we're a people connected to a land. These three elements, religious laws (religion,) people and land are interconnected. We must strengthen the connection to bring the Moshiach, Redemption. The other religions, specifically those trying to steal our land and bible are terrified that we will succeed, because it will prove their religions a lie.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-64313042319339058992014-11-23T21:41:19.369+02:002014-11-23T21:41:19.369+02:00Yes, it is true that Judasim is not a religion. A ...Yes, it is true that Judasim is not a religion. A great Tzadik of last generation, Rabbi Chaim Zimmerman,z'tl, was upset that rabbis and people who should know better would call Judaism a 'religion'. He said that Torah is the Eternal Truth. If we call it a religion, we are then equating it with religions of the world which are all avodah zorah. Also, do believe this push for Israel being the Jewish state (always thought that's what it was called from the start of its rebirth) is because there is an agenda afoot for the integration of xtianity and xtians and others, into the mix of the Jewish population, r'l, thus calling themselves the new Jews or something of the like. Most assuredly, there is a devious plan. Just from what we learn from the JewishIsrael website should give us pause to be concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-83035380721219431512014-11-23T21:34:23.621+02:002014-11-23T21:34:23.621+02:00Israel being officially The Jewish Nation doesn...Israel being officially The Jewish Nation doesn't imply that non-Jews are or should be discriminated against...

The Jewish State is a tribute to that achievement.<br /><br />And if some people have a problem with honoring that, the rest of us should still say its worthy of recognition.<br /><br />In Israel's highest laws.NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.com
