My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.
About Me
- YMedad
- Shiloh, Benjamin District, Samaria, Israel
- American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

I found that disturbing also - and I'm a supporter of the Obama administration. I don't think our secretary of state should have to wear the hijab - she's not a Muslim, she's representing the U.S. in an official capacity, and the U.S. government certainly don't require women to cover their hair in public.
well, I would presume at a ceremony in a synagogue, the President, et al. would not be amiss if he wore a kippah although I would guess his wife wouldn't have to put on a hat. Most Jews even hareidim would know they are not Jewish and are not obligated to cover their female hair.
I would get upset if she went burkha though. A little head-covering needn't stir up hysteria as some rightwingers react.
I just put it up because it really did remind me of a bubbeh
