The Israeli power brokers see charedim and a religious society as a threat only just barely slightly below the threat of Hamas.<BR/><BR/>To counter this threat, they imported 1,000,000 completely secular Russians, 40% of whom aren't Jewish. They put out massive effort to import Jews from any part of the world where the majority aren't religious.<BR/><BR/>Where they DON'T import from is the US. Since most of the Jews who are interested are frum, in the US they DISCOURAGE aliyah. Specific examine, the Jewish Agency announced they were breaking from any cooperation with Nefesh b'Nefesh, and putting 100% of their efforts into working via reform congregations. They have never placed an ad or an aliyah-shaliach in a frum community.<BR/><BR/>(From personal experience, I attended an ulpan class that was 50% non-Jewish - Russians and Argentinians - including several wearing giant crosses and proclaiming their xiandom.)Akivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042484533217272945noreply@blogger.com
