Russia's Chief Rabbi: Living in Israel weakens faith

Russia's Chief Rabbi: Living in Israel weakens faith
Immigrants lose their faith upon moving to Israel, asserts Rabbi Lazar ahead of holiday season. While Israeli society is to blame for this phenomenon, he says, it can be reversed if one moves back to Russia
Lazar also commented on the Russian leadership. Since the collapse of the iron curtain, he says, Jews have been treated well in Russia. He does point out that the treatment became even better as soon as Vladimir Putin became president, which continues even today with his successor Dmitry Medvedev.

Mifletzet:
Lazar is an example of "the bad that is in Chabad"!
q_q_:
The odd thing in israel is there is not much of a modern orthodox..
it's Charedi or Secular!
err, and Religious Zionist.. Maybe in israel, modern orthodox is a small subset of religious zionist.
In Britain, people that want to be accepted, go to Modern Orthodox shuls.
They run halchically, so anybody, charedi or nothing, can go there. It's really VERY important.
Kahane-Was-Right BT:
How can anyone calling himself a rabbi honestly call for Jews to LEAVE ISRAEL and return to Russia?!! Yerida is a SIN, and even aside from that, how can anyone encourage Jews to return to the bastion of Jew-hatred that Russia has always been? Sickening.
q_q_:
isn't russia in the EU and so they can go anywhere?
we get lots of russians coming to britain looking for work.
certainly no need to live in russia.. one would have to be mad. It may be cheap though! If you already have alot of money. But we aren't even talking of that here.
