Does every Jew in Israel wear a Kippah?

Question

Is it required by Israel's law?

Answer 1

Hello,

At the moment people are not required to wear a kippah but I am starting a campaign to enforce every man, whatever his religion, to wear one - including tourists and businessmen.

People say but they aren't being physically violent. Great harm can come without the violence. Sexual child abusers usually aren't physcially violent. Yet they deeply violate. They "love" their children into total oblivion. We said NO. And NO means NO. They may not call themselves Jews in any form. For those who believe they have a new religion, they can not use our name. Only then will they finally be adding a new (or redeveloped) religion to the world. For 2000 years Christians have not respected letting Jews live AS JEWS. They've tried FORCING us to add Jesus to our religion. Now they do it by calling themselves us. It's really only recently that Christianty's developed geninue respect for us. But, now this is the make or break deal. Will they also "get" this? ================== To Other Jewish folks: I'm wondering if it's time we all got better at verbalizing the specifics "one liner" thoughts of anti-semitism & started pointing them out, so people can finally see what even some good folks don't realize they're thinking. I don't think people know what anti-semitism looks like beyond the extreme. I wonder as a Jewish community if we've been frozen from doing enough -- because we're still absorbing the past & trying not to "go there". ============ Cool So your agreeing they're goal is turning Jews into Christians. So, calling themselves Jews is a lie. They weren't "Judah's for Jesus" back then. They were describe more as "no longer Jews - exploring a new religion, or confused Jews exploring a new religion" Until they adopted a name for themselves, Christians. I bet they were proud of their new name.
