Religion in Israel: secularization Israeli-style bends rather than fights religious regulations

[Meshuga]

3. I agree with what you posted

And I am aware of their system of government and politics.

I just thought it was weird that the article claimed that the orthodox were a majority.

Regarding the ministry of religious affair, I know at least one case where the son of a congregant in my synagogue could not get married in Israel since his mother converted to Judaism via a reform rabbi.
So he wasn't considered a Jew according to the orthodox leadership in Israel.

Groups like IRAC, which I proudly donate to, have been created to fight these battles in favor of religious plurality in Israel. And some recent battles have been won since the non-orthodox community pretty much said that if Israel is an "orthodox Jewish state" as opposed to a "Jewish state" then Israel will not get the support from the non-orthodox in the diaspora. And I think the message has been received.
