Israel’s pluralistic character re: Sucharov article
To the Editor, Feb. 21,2011 I am also not ashamed. Having a pluralistic character has never been a priority in Israel - having a Jewish character is what is important. Jewish halacha (law) is intrinsicly moral because it comes from Torah and G-d Himself. The problems...
