Reconstructionist? Under which categories do those fall under? Uh oh ;).. I smell another heated debate coming. Hehe, kidding. (I think, lol.)<br><br>And boy oh boy. By the times everyone agrees who is allowed into this separate state or infrastructure we'll have 2000 of them; give or take a few hundred. <br><br>My proposal is we all work on unity. How cliché, huh? Or should I say, sanctimonious. Truth be told, that would be great, but realistically unlikely. Shucks, back to the drawing board for both of us.%Shocked%http://www.blogger.com/profile/08017279590797608442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012577834296987267.post-74409978882956279532009-06-02T07:09:16.778-07:002009-06-02T07:09:16.778-07:00The PROBLEM is that there are not 2,000 but, over ...The PROBLEM is that there are not 2,000 but, over 300,000 Jews in Israel who are not halachically Jewish and don't want to be. These are primarily patrilineage Jews from the former Soviet Union. <br><br>However, there are patrilineage Jews from other countries, as well as converts with conversions good enough for the Law Of Return, yet not good enough for marry and bury in Israel. <br><br>Currently, non religious marriage and burial is not available to these people. What are these people to do? They aren't Xtians. They aren't muslims. They do not wish to marry and bury under either of these auspices. I guess you can say they are noahides, however, they grew up thinking they were Jewish and so, they are more Jewish than a regular noahide. However, the matter still remains, they are not Jewish.Michaltastikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06358698308334285154noreply@blogger.com
