Rejecting Changes to Law of Return

Well thank G-d and let’s pass around a glass of Kosher Wine together!

Maybe a beer or two as well. Prime Minister Olmert has done something worthwhile for the Jewish community of Israel and the Diaspora…at long last.

While completely inept when it comes to fighting terror, a man with the spine the consistency of Jell-O, at LEAST he has had the courage to stand up to Israeli Chief Rabbi, Shlomo Amar.

Rejecting Amar’s proposal to change the Law of Return was the best thing Olmert has ever done. Instead of narrowing down who can and can’t be a Jew according to one (ONE!) idiotic man’s opinion, Olmert has chosen to side with reason. Again…at long last. Too bad it’s not on many other subjects that would do Israel good.

If you are a convert, let me tell you something…a vast majority of regular Jews everywhere love you. You ARE a Jew, according to G-d, the Torah and your very desire to join yourselves to Israel.

I wonder if Amar remembers Ruth? Ancestor of King David, (Who is an ancestor of the coming Moshiach no?); Ruth was a Moabite…a descendent of Abraham’s nephew Lot…a Gentile. She married Boaz…a Hebrew and joined herself to G-d’s people.

If she could do it and be looked upon favorably by G-d, enough to allow her to be an ancestor of the Moshiach…who is Amar, or any other Rabbi to try and stop something that G-d himself allows?

Kudos to Olmert on this one.
