Not too much time to post anything lengthy but just had to share something from a recent op-ed in an Israeli newspaper. There are protests going on around the country, mostly in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The issue is the cost of living, particularly for housing. The protests have taken the form of tent cities. The author of the op-ed took to the tent city to see what was going on and asked a few questions . . . in one of the responses he gleaned this gem of Jewish thought . . .
"Being a Jew isn’t just being a settler, you know; being a Jew also means having compassion. I swear. You don’t believe me? Go home and Google it.”
Here's the op-ed for those of you who might want a little Israeli enrichment . . .
