>> Rabbi Druckman on the assimilation data: "We are on the road to disaster, and society is ignoring" <<
In an interview with "Israel Today" regarding the assimilation data revealed in "Israel Today", Rabbi Druckman said last night that there is no room to harm the state conversion system, but did not refer specifically to the reform in the conversion system.
In his remarks regarding the assimilation data revealed earlier, the rabbi, who was formerly the head of the state conversion system, said, "The fact that Jews marry non-Jews is a disaster, there is nothing to say."
Rabbi Druckman added that "we are on the way to disaster, but before we talk about war we need to talk about preparations for war. The solution is first and foremost education. If the youth do not know what Judaism is, the people of Israel know nothing, then what is the difference for him between a Jew and a non-Jew Jew? Need root canal treatment.
"I call on the Minister of Education, Yifat Shasha Bitton, to change the situation. Boys and girls in schools need to know what the people of Israel are, what is unique, what is their tradition and what has preserved them. This is essential for Israel's existence as a Jewish state. ".
"Obviously a non-Jewish person from the seed of Israel should be encouraged to convert, but it must be a true conversion, not a fiction," the rabbi adds, but says that the question of whether or not to facilitate conversion is purely theoretical.
"Facilitate what? I do not see tens of thousands coming to convert. I wish we would encourage them to come to convert, and then we will have the strength to tell those who convert to do above and beyond."
"If Israeli society broadcast that it was necessary to convert, it would be useful, because as long as they broadcast that the problem is the toughness of the rabbis and that they should be opposed, why should candidates come convert en masse? People do not come to convert because Israeli society "To exist without it. Society ignores the matter. For them, let's become a state as a state, but we returned to our country to be a Jewish state."
