City: State:
Is getting less and less Jewish. I disagree with the Knesset`s decision.

There are certain things that help define a national identity. It may be Souvlaki to the Greeks or Spaghetti to Italians. Eating Matzoh during the seven days of Passover and getting rid of bread for that time is one of those things that define the Jewish State. If Pizzareas have to close for a week of the year, so what? It is a part of our religious/historical heritage.
