Part of my job is recruiting for new staff. Today I interviewed a girl who was Israeli. She was thick as hell but I gave her a job simply because she was Jewish.

Would you like a second mitzvah for the day? Introduce her to me!

Is that honestly a good thing? If she can't fulfil the job or complete it to a good standard?

Our Vlaams Belang slogans in the nineties was:
<<Eigen Volk eerst>>
Which means :
Own People First

Every nationalist. loves his own people first.

That doesn't mean you hate others,
but helping your fellow people,
is good.

Okay, but even a mitzva like that could be questionable. -Maybe the $ she will make she will use it to make sins (G-d forbid, etc.) Its still questionable. BUT the best Mitzva one could make is to get others to be religious, which has no possible negative consequence. Also to learn Torah - Talmud Torah Keneged Kolam- The learning of Torah is = to All of them (the Mitzvot).

I agree Sarah. I do some of the hiring where I work, hiring someone for a reason like this could put other workers or even the company in jeopardy. I dont always hire the most qualified person on paper, sometimes its a person who needs the job, BUT is capable of learning and has a good head on their shoulders. Often a person with less experience can be taught to do things OUR way easier than someone with more experience elsewhere. You have to sometimes go with your gut feeling if it comes down to 2 people.

it really has to be questionable as to whether it is a mitzvah.....

They got a point, they might end up firing her as a lot of the Israeli waitresses I see act spoiled and treat you like dirt if you are not also from Israel. If she's works out then it's a Mitzvah.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA ! Funnily enough I never recruit a girl because of her looks. I don't think you would have found her attractive unless you like big girls.

Maybe. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have taken her. She was slightly below bench mark - but she mentioned being Jewish and doing SAR-EL (just like my family) because she didn't get the chance to do her military service like everyone esle.

I love Tviz's quotes - very spiritual. BTW did you know that I haven't eaten pork in 2 months !!!! Your post criticizing me of eating pork changed me for the better.

She seemed very passionate about Israel. And she aslo did SAR EL. I don't think she is a saint but any Jew where I live is a bonus. 1 out of every 5 that I interview is a Muslim/Nazi. She is the first jew I have interviewed in a year !

You did the right thing Merkava people shud help its own kind first, and being thick is sometimes better than those briliant kids after schools who think they can make the job better.

I live in Britain.

SAR EL is a voluntary programme for Jews of all over the world in which they undergo 3 weeks of helping the righteous IDF. They do most of the menial jobs of cleaning, sewing, etc in the military bases. My brother has done it aswell and I plan on following his steps.

Its just an admin job.

They were very righteous when they expelled Jews from Gush Katif and Northern Shomron and destroyed their homes.

That was very sad. Someone put up links to an entire section of photos here on the forum showing many of the homes destroyed by the expulsion. That really left an impression on me of how evil the entire process was. Where there were vibrant communities before nothing worth talking about exists now.

Its a shame that they did and a mistake that they hopefully learned from (land for peace). But lay off the IDF - IF IT WASN'T FOR THE COURAGEOUS IDF THERE WOULD BE NO ISRAEL.

Who won the war of Independence? The 6 day War? and who saved us from total distruction in Yom Kippur? Who guards our borders and prevents suicide bombers from blowing us up?
