Is there a ongoing separation between Torah Jews living in Israel (or Jews working on Aliyah) and the Jews that are not Torah Jews that were raised to hate Judaism and Eretz Israel. That think Judaism is only about "Social Justice". How do these non Torah Jews know that they are Jewish? The Pew study "A Portrait of Jewish Americans"(2013) states: "42% say that having a good sense of humor is an essential part of being Jewish.". Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman (1886-1969), The Ponovicher Rov of blessed memory, saved orphaned Jewish children from Catholic orphanages after the close of World War II. Although the priests and nuns denied that there were any Jewish children there, The Rov – accompanied by American officers – visited the orphanages at bedtime. He would call out “Shema Yisroel” and instinctly children raised their hands to cover their eyes, while crying in Yiddish, “Mama! Mama!” The holy Skolener Rebbe of blessed memory saved children in like fashion. If Israel had to rescue American Jews how would they identify the real Jews from someone that wants to get out of a troubled land?
