Dear Mr. Levy,

I read your article and I was really curious about some aspects of it.
First, why was Israel created, and it is so important to us, Jews, to have a Jewish State? Maybe just to gather some jewish people? Or rather because the judaism is in our blood, is part of our soul, and we are proud of that and want to be free to practice our religion?
I do agree with you, this is hard for most people to realize how deep inside religion is important for them, and why it is so important to have a Country rulled by it.
Good article!
