Jews Gone Wild
12 October 2006Greenfield: According to Jerusalem Post Op-Ed contributor and American Orthodox rabbi Shmuley Boteach, American yeshiva students in Israel for their year after high school are "behaving like out-of-control idiots -- either hanging out for hours on end, like so many lost sheep, or running amok, booze in hand, like wild jackasses." Shmuley is appalled, but much more worried about the secular opinion of the Orthodox than the well-being of the teens: "There actions must accord with the holiness of the land, and that as ambassadors of both American Jewry and Orthodoxy, their behavior is being closely scrutinized by religiously non-observant Israelis to determine whether American Jewry has lost its bearings, and whether Orthodox Judaism has lost its sincerity."
