Oh I kept meaning to mention |
|
My good buddy Mikey is a dual citizenshipper. He has his voting card, needs to mark X for Kerry and then will mail it in.
This guy is so funny, he's not been to the states in years, didn't grow up there, but is voting just because of Bush being a turd.
The same guy did the birthright trip to israel even though he's never even BEEN to a temple.
Exploit those roots!

1. what does a trip to israel have to do with going to temple? |
|
judaism is not a religion of faith, it's a religion of identity.
nor is temple the center of worship, the home is.
a trip to israel can be meaningful on many levels, many having nothing whatsoever to do with the reasons one might go to temple.

3. What I meant is he doesn't even identify himself as jewish |
|
He just wanted a free trip to Israel. We just think it's funny.

i know all jews have the "right of return" but i thought that merely meant a guaranteed visa and/or citizenship if you want.
no one ever told me anything about FREE!
