You may be 100% religious in mind and 0% of nationality spirit, as part of Neturei Karta are, or 100% Jewish by social-political mind and 0% tolerance to religious customs, Hilonim (not religious) and atheists, yet you're a Jew, In the yourself consciousness or of the other (friend of foe) . Most of the Jews statistically spread in between both extreme ends and share, in proportional forms, these complementary ideals of nationality defined by faith, and faith protecting the border and livelihood of the nationality. <br /><br />Uncertainty IS frightening in the US because religious and nationality symbols and identify among Jews had been loosed and lost in the daily pressure of modern life. Jews are assimilating in high numbers among the locals. <br /><br /><br />Devorah Baum is confused. The phenomenon of "becoming Jew-ish" has always been existing throughout history. Christianity itself developed as a religious stream in Judaism and then broke out into the Gentiles and "became Jew-ish-like" and turned to be its greatest enemy in the name of claiming to be the "true Judaism", "Jews betrayed Jesus". Jews in every generation in last 2 millennials assimilated into the gentiles, whether willing or forced, and turned the local culture into more Jew-ish and thus also more worthy in itself to intervene in the affairs of the Jews and even to persecute them when it was rewarding. Even today in the US, more and more Jews are abandoning Judaism, criticizing, attacking and slandering Jews in the name of the principles of Judaism, which they despise. In other words, they also reject those principles, yet they use them to attack the Jews and Israel by their partial and distorted quotes and foolish interpretation. The 'imaginary Jew-ish' of those excesses of Jews and Gentiles that attacking Jews and Israel in the name of Jewish values is the ill-fated evil of modern society. They are the ones who can't contain lofty values, but yet decorating themselves with, covering their cultural abyss and intellectual wilderness where their minds are boiled, burned and rotten. <br />For Jews it's being Jewish or being Jew-ish.<br /><br />Avi Offer<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-66901998222871538842017-10-01T14:29:50.629+03:002017-10-01T14:29:50.629+03:00What an idiotic essay!
