Many secular Jews in Israel ( and perhaps out of Israel too) see things like this and perceive it as representative of all observant Jews. The growing influence of Shas and such parties over the last decade or so has had a very negative effect on the difficult and slow moving efforts to bridge the many gaps between secular and observant Jews in Israel. In addition, it seems to me ( although I don't have statistics to back it up) that quite a number of Hozrim b'tshuva go to Shas, perhaps naturally as that is about as far as one can get via that route, I think. In the last few years I have seen quite a bit of newly observant Jews go towards Breslov instead, at least they are more "happy happy joy joy" and much more tolerant than these guys.<BR/>What a shame, as if we don't have enough hate and pressure from the outside!<BR/>JennieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
