I just received this great initiative, based on Torah sources. Please take the time to go over it, I personally think it's fantastic, and a very positive step in the right direction.See attachments DS




 

Please forward this email to all of your Rabbis and Community Leaders, to anyone that you know that takes an interest in Jewish scholarship, Jewish history, Jewish law, to all of the individuals of your acquaintance that are active on behalf of Community issues, and to all of your friends and relatives.

The attachments to this email reveal, in Hebrew, the original recipe for the Traditional Jewish Civil Society.

In your cover letter:

v     Ask for additional written material and comments on specific items in the source material (including translations).

v     Ask for serious criticism (with sources).

v     Action: Gather a "minyan" and select a "Sar Eser".

 

Have your "Sar Eser" help plan the mass Jewish Unity event. < yoelkeren@netvision.net.il >

 

The Power of the Jewish Community in Israel emanates from each individual in the Community; regardless of country of origin, philosophical approach or political allegiance.  We, the Jewish Community in Israel, intend to exert a positive influence upon our collective existence.  We believe that the best way to begin that process is to revive the traditional, grassroots, Jewish Civil Society ― the proper framework within which to address the many critical issues facing Jewish Community in Israel today.

·        No politics

·        No protests

·        No demonstrations

·        No pressure on government or bureaucracy
