1) Why do the Jewish people belong in Israel in principle;
and 2), Why do the Jewish people belong in Israel today.
Answer: 1) According to the Torah (Genesis 28:13 and other verses), God gave Israel to the Israelite people. Jewish tradition teaches that, spiritually speaking, Israel needs the Jews. Observing the Torah has a greater spiritual effect when it is done in Israel.
2) Whether or not the Jews should all go to Israel todayis a debated topic, even among the Torah-sages. Opinions are quoted in the halakhic authorities commenting upon the Talmudic discussion in the last couple of pages in the tractate Ketubot.
Together with the discussion in halakha (law), the safety and livelihood of immigrants must be taken into account; and all other repercussions.
It belongs to Israeli citizens not only Jewish. Arabs and Christians all together.
Because God gave it to us.
Israeli is the common term. However, I know Israeli Arabs who would prefer to be called Palestinians, and before 1948, Jews from the region now known as Israel were known as Palestinian Jews.
Israel is the Jewish State and approximately 80% of its population is Jewish. This is the primary way that Jews are involved with the Arab-Israeli War. Additionally, Jews outside of Israel often finance or support Israel in its mission to be a place for Jews.
Are you not familiar with the Law of Return? All Jews have an automatic right to immigrate to Israel and to be Israeli citizens. That is the fundamental reason for the existence of Israel, to provide refuge for all the Jews of the world.
There are Jews all over the world. The one who live in Israel are Israeli Jews, like those in the U.S called American Jews.
No. The Sefardic Jews are a slight minority in Israel.
They're citizens of Israel and participate in all aspects of Israeli life.
75% of Israelis are Jewish. These Jews come from all over the world. Specifically to this question, no, the majority of Israeli Jews are not descended from German Jews. Around 50% of Israel's Jewish community comes from Jews of the Arab World and their descendants (Mizrahim). 20.9% of Israel's Jews are of from the former USSR. Meanwhile, German and Austrian Jews make up around 2.7% of Israeli Jews.
Unfortunately, in Israel, only Orthodox Jews get all the special privileges.
It depends on how religious the particular Israeli Jew is. Most Israeli Jews are Secular Jews and therefore rarely go to synagogue more than a few times a year if that. However, a quarter of Israeli Jews are Orthodox and go to synagogue every morning and often throughout the day.
Every Israeli ethnic group influences Israel. Since Israel is a democracy, all of its various constituent peoples have the ability to raise their voice and run for political office. Since Israel has numerous parties and coalitions need to be formed to govern effectively, even small parties can have a strong and powerful say in the government. Some ethnic groups with influence in Israel include: Secular Liberal Israeli Jews, Secular Conservative Israeli Jews, Nationalist Russian Jews, Orthodox Ashkenazi (European) Jews, Orthodox Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews, Druze, ethnic Palestinian Muslims, ethnic Palestinian Christians, Bedouins, and Circassians.
Ashkenazi Jews. Specifically, the plurality of Israeli Jews are of Russian origin. However, the most common origin of Israelis is Levantine (Israeli - from centuries ago, Palestinian, Jordanian, Lebanese, and Syrian) as the Israeli Arabs are almost all Levantine.
The modern state of Israel is multi-ethnic, containing Jews, Israeli Arab Muslims, Israeli Arab Christians, Druze, Bahai and Samaritan communities. Most people on encountering someone from Israel assume that the person they've encountered is Jewish.
