Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef is a bit of a charlatan, writes Yossi Mekelberg. He says the belief that God and His words are understandable to us is a pillar of the Jewish faith.

But in recent years, God seems to have gotten tired, he writes. "We have no one to lean on but on... the one who always let us down," Mekelburg says. "Quite a few new believers are joining the ranks of the disillusioned," he adds.
