“My point is Jewish culture sees 13 as the beginning of adulthood and there’s a lot to be said for that.”
Then your point is that Israel does not respect Jewish culture?
Look I gotta go - actually have other things to do.
My point Mr. TexasGator is that there a some pretty good reasons to consider or reconsider a 13 years old being a young adult. I’ve named a few in this thread. Nothing coming from on high written in stone. Just a appeal to consider some reasonable and supportable viewpoints on the subject.
Have a good day.
