That went right over your head!Oh you're one to talk. His point was that "secular" Jews in America don't light shabbos candles! Really? What am I then? So since these Israeli Jews light shabbos candles, they're not as secular as an American hearing the term "secular" would think. And my point, which went right over your head is that performing religiously inspired rituals is not the same thing as being religious. It could just mean that they just keep different parts of the cultural background they share with American Jews. What matters is whether they light the candles for religious reasons. That's why I had to ask— nuance and context may be foreign concepts to you, but I tend to find them important. |
