The vast silent majority of Israelis who declare themselves “hiloni” (“secular”) in surveys have a level of belief and practice that would place them squarely in the middle-right spectrum of the American Conservative movement. Many are what an American would call “Conservadox”.

If Conservative Jews were not poisoned by the rhetoric of “pluralism” most would find themselves able to live very comfortably in Israel.

It’s fine with me if Jewish Israelis want to give Israel Jewish culture, but I wish they’d find a better way to do it than passing such an annoying law. Yaakov Kirschen is offended, nay, “outraged”, by the judge’s ruling. He should be more offended by the law itself, as such laws run counter to Israel’s status as a secular democracy.
