MUCH BETTER TO HAVE RELIGIOUS JEWS IN LIMELIGHT
Reader comment on article: The Future of Judaism

Submitted by Catherine Fitz (United States), Jan 27, 2005 at 04:58

For most of my life American Jews have fought like tigers...to remove all religion from the public square. Jews = atheism. Jews = haters of religion. Unfortunately, this is how the Public Jew in the US has come off as. I'd much prefer Orthodox Jews--who actually practice their religion--to be the representatives of their religion in America.
