Expat in Israel.

And more

I forgot to mention we had a birthday party for an active family senior as well. In the evening, Mrs E went to an Arab/Israeli group that examine better ways of living together. A concert is planned. One of the group members, a French lady is being deported this week. Apparently her conversion to Judaism in France with the signature of the Chief Rabbi is deemed insufficient to be Israeli. The deeper reason is her religious neighbours objecting to her holding yoga classes which equates to 'converting Jews to Buddism'.

We also found out that all the olive trees we planted a few weeks ago have been torn up. I will not say who did it as there's no proof. We'll do it all again at Pesach.

Yoga 'converting Jews to Buddism'. LOL!

Having said that, it is interesting just how many 'western' buddhists are Jewish. They aren't so much converted as side-tracked.
