From not allowing mixed marriages to the ritual of "kosher slaughtering" (without the use of anesthesia), to the idea that the Jewish people would always have to be better than the rest of the world in order to be "good Jews".....
----there are still a few things in the Jewish religion, which simply aren`t in correspondence with todays open minded and humanistic "Zeitgeist", and a frank discussion on all those 3 issues could only be to the benefit of the Jewish people and the Jewish religion.
P.S. Just that there is no misunderstanding: I have no problem at all with the ritual of "kosher slaughtering", if you can guarantee, that it is done correctly also in big, indus- trial slaughterhouses. But unfortunately that seems to be almost impossible, as the animal abuse scandal in the biggest U.S. "kosher slaughterhouse", which was documented by PETA, has shown. By the way, the religion of Islam does allow the use of anesthesia.... |
