"Judaism poll points to 'lost generation" by Sarah Secha
"Judaism poll points to 'lost generation" by Sarah Sechan. This article was just recently posted on the jerusalempost.com website. I actually found it quite interesting regarding the poll that was taken and what the results are. In the article it describes that " Four-fifths of secular Israelis and more than half of Israelis overall define their knowledge of Jewish practice and Jewish heritage as mediocre or lower..."(www.jerusalempost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1248277914749&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull). Wow, that is amazing to me. I also found it interesting that the Haredi community was higher in their overall knowledge. No wonder there really is a lot of tension among Israelis in both the secular and the religious. The secular want to be more modern and a part of this world, and the Haredi want to stay within their own community. It seems like no one will be willing to compromise.
