About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Many liberal US Jews aren't even religious, and many don't even believe in God, yet they still all recognize themselves as Jewish. Just like Freud was Jewish. We're more than a religion.
I was born in the 90's, and don't know exactly how things were in America in the 60's, but from all the books I read I get the impression that Jews in the US became intense Zionists after the '67 war.
This is interesting because several days I started a conversation with a substitute teacher - a Mr. Rabinowitz - and he told me he was from New York and that whereas his father was a 'hardcore Zionist' (presumably from the '67 war generation) he (in his 20's) wasn't a Zionist and wanted there to finally be a 'Palestinian' state.
I can only guess the change is because this generation of American Jews tend to perceive Israel no longer as the underdog, but as the 'dominating, occupying power'. If Israel really wanted to change their image among their most powerful international constituent, American Jews, they need to expend more effort to show that they are indeed the underdogs, a small country in a region of inhospitable Arabs.
Hardly surprising. For some reason, Jews need to beat themselves up.
The father of masochism, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch by the way, was a Jew.
