Although I am not Charedi, I do feel that its unnecessary and before Rosh Hashana would like to mention how much it bothers me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-70545070846325471092011-09-27T12:41:25.014+03:002011-09-27T12:41:25.014+03:00hmmm, so they still would not support it because ...hmmm, so they still would not support it because it would mean, even if only, giving up the monopoly on authority over marriage, who is a jew, conversion, death, etc..<br /><br />the haredim have the most to lose by this, even if not economically (though I dont see why they would keep the funding in place and only remove the personal issue)Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-37139535174410876412011-09-27T12:13:18.300+03:002011-09-27T12:13:18.300+03:00Rafi
