Surely, through the centuries, the yearning to return to the ancestral homeland was basically a religious yearn- ing, fortified in prayer, ob- servances and even mourn- ing. Yet, the fact remains that a major thrust toward the establishment of the state of Israel was provided by non-religious, if not anti-religious people.

LEO WEINGARDEN & FAMILY • • Furthermore, it must be recognized that the Jew in Israel has many opportunities to express his Jewish identification: the Hebrew language, service in the army, the official rest days on Shabat and Jewish holi- day. Here, many contend, Jewish life can flourish without religious obser- vance. Yet, can it? As time passes the erosion that took place in the U.S. and elsewhere begins to show its signs in Israel. Young people begin to question the Jewish people's right to the land, to "disperse" Arabs. They have few qualms about leaving their native country. Yerida is by far largest among the non- religious, while most olim from free countries are reli- giously motivated. Even in Israel, youth question the meaning of Jewish peoplehood. He is an Israeli, not a Jew. Many are the youth who have served in the army who choose to reside elsewhere — after also receiving their univer- sity tuition at government expense. Not so for the reli- gious soldier or student. If, as in all secular states, civil marriages are legalized in Israel, the pos- sibility of intermarriage — as elsewhere — will be nur- tured. Why not? Secularly, there is no difference be- tween Jew and non-Jew. There is no Jewish, Catholic, Islamic, or French or English secularism. These distinctions are reli- gious or nationalist. The Jewish peoplehood tran- scends by its nature, both religious and nationalism and blends both into one uniqueness. Both are essen- tial. The future, as the past, portends then, that only that segment of the Jewish people that remains true to its religious tradition — which includes a loyalty to the Jewish state (for this is what Israel is meant to be) is the guarantee of Jewish continuity.
