I live in Jerusalem, and I heard a beautiful quote from a Rav who was in a taxi on a Friday afternoon, he asked the secular driver, "Do you know why I say Shabbos, Shabbos when I see someone violating Shabbos? It's not out of anger or malice; rather because I'm pained at their lack of understanding and appreciation of the Shabbos."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-57017406820255160662011-10-12T01:59:52.046+11:002011-10-12T01:59:52.046+11:00Achad Ha'am (no Charedi, by any description), ...Achad Ha'am (no Charedi, by any description), is quoted as saying "More than the Jews kept the Shabbat, the Shabbat kept the Jews".<br /><br />I agree with the post.

I am non observant and I go to Shule on only the high holidays, but I dont take offence or nor am I worried or concerned about the conduct of observant jews, so why should observant Jews be worried or concerned about the behaviour of non observant Jews? There are many different levels of observance, but we are all still Jewish, so why shouldnt the AJN report the news that is of high interest to the Jewish communityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-77366975066768617442011-10-11T13:06:55.104+11:002011-10-11T13:06:55.104+11:00Why can't so called "observant Jews"...Why can't so called "observant Jews" accept that there are other interpretations of the Torah, particularly in the light of modern research? The problem so many have with the Talmud is that it was "snap frozen" in the 6th Century when it was written down, against all previous traditions. Some of the recent post Talmudic Shabbat prohibitions make no sense to modern people who cannot reconcile them with the Torah.<br />You have your ways we have ours and we Progressive Jews can at least justify our views with logic. We do accept your views even if we strongly disagree with them. The "observant" views are not without problems look at the Haridi who deny the existence of the Jewish State.

Perhaps as editor/ spokesperson of Australian Jewish Democratic Society should be renamed Australian Palestinian Undemocratic society '' ?<br /><br />I guess the difference between Salbe and his ' comrades ' is I have been fighting for '' Jewish Human rights for 35 Years... go Figure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-2469003719182827272011-09-28T04:49:19.651+10:002011-09-28T04:49:19.651+10:00Burd said (and I'm paraphrasing after a good f...Burd said (and I'm paraphrasing after a good few years), that at most he'll buy some Matzos.Sol Salbenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-76730971032719605082011-09-24T21:56:13.258+10:002011-09-24T21:56:13.258+10:00what did Burd say there?what did Burd say there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-30242384092171109212011-09-24T16:55:31.722+10:002011-09-24T16:55:31.722+10:00Why are you surprised at Michael Burd'a distin...Why are you surprised at Michael Burd'a distinct lack of affinity to the Jewish religion?
