“I am not a religious person. I am comfortable in a synagogue, but generally attend only twice a year, on the high holidays.

When I entered the tomb of Abraham and Sarah, as I recall, I felt connected with my past and the traditions of my people. One is a Jew first by birth and then by religion.

Those who leave their religion, remain Jews forever by virtue of their birth. If they don’t think so, let them ask their neighbors, who will remind them.”

Eddy, that explains so much. A secular Jew is as of as much value to G-d as salt that has lost it's flavor. If you have to search to find how this could happen to Israel, you won't have to go too far — it's about a 30 second journey to a mirror or a polished window.

Careful, you wouldn’t want people to think that you were arrogant enough to presume what is of value to G-d.

You're wrong. I used to be a "secular" Jew.
