    Rabbi Shmuley Boteach: Making Money at Any Cost 2009

  • Daniel · November 14th, 2006 at 10:07 pm yevanot? post-zionism? my brother isaac wants to make aliyah so that he can then make yeridah because he sees both as equally culturally important — the cultural center of the jews being israel, but the diaspora as being equally important and mobility of ideas between the two as crucial to jewish future. in his view, political zionism nullifies the importance of yiddish shtetl culture and sephardic existence, not to mention other groups of jews, thereby marginalizing every type of diaspora heritage in favor of a glamorized sabra image that draws as much if not more on non-jewish trendiness as it does on jewish cultural heritage.
