Sharp Decline in Students Learning Jewish Studies
« on: December 14, 2009, 03:11:05 PM »
(IsraelNN.com) According to data revealed today by the Knesset’s Education Committee there has been a dramatic decline over the last decade in the number of students attending classes in Jewish Studies in Israeli universities. In first degree studies there has been a decrease of 36%, and in second degree studies a 23% decrease.

Meanwhile the number of students in higher education institutions increased by 30% this decade.

The banding together by the nations of the world against Israel is the guarantee that their time of destruction is near and the final redemption of the Jew at hand.

I have heard the opposite, that there has never been more Jews attending Yeshivas in Israel.... I dont know if I believe this report from the 'israeli' government.

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14
