Here we are having lively disussions at the Leadership Institute in Sderot about Judaism, the current and future state of Israel and the Jewish People. Many different opinions on varying subjects including : Is Israel a democratic state if it only allows Jews to be citizens (with some non Jews living in certain areas) and does Israel need diaspora Jews to survive and vis a versa? How are they affected by each other? If Israel is a state of the Jewish people should ALL Jews regrdless of where they live be allowed to vote in Israeli elections? All these topics that REALLY made us think.
We also broke into smaller groups to discuss what we thought about Israel's civil laws being ruled and overseen by Orthodox rabbis.
