But it is Jewish coming from the Jewish Bible!! <br /><br />Sadly the arrogance of the younger generation is a huge problem, though the sages do address this specific topic in the time of the mashiach. The chutzpah of people in this country is beyond belief.

In Netivot I used to take a cab to the first bus stop for the bus to Jerusalem to be assured of a seat! (B'H I now have a car that I leave near the stop.) Good for you for speaking up but distressing that you needed to. **sigh**.Netivotgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746343586043134996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-37651473449823752762017-10-09T11:26:45.166+03:002017-10-09T11:26:45.166+03:00Nothing Jewish in "circumcision of ones heart...Nothing Jewish in "circumcision of ones heart."
