On Tuesday, Yair Ettinger reported in Haaretz that Bennett, the economy
minister who is also the minister of religious services, is establishing a
new Jewish Identity Administration whose job will be to instill "Jewish
values" in the public. The agency will be headed by chief rabbi of the
Israel Defense Forces from 2006-2010, Brig. Gen. (res. ) Avichai Rontzki. As
the chaplain general, Rontzki set up a "Jewish awareness" program in the
army. Now, under Bennett's auspices, and thanks to the budget from which
Lapid is torturously engaged in cutting other apparently less essential
items, all Israelis will be able to benefit from the rabbi-general's
activities.
Zionism dreamed of a state for the Jews, not a Jewish state: a refuge for
members of the Jewish people, not a state with an official religion like
Muslim Saudi Arabia. The Balfour Declaration promised a national home, not a
religious one. On Israeli identity cards, "Jewish" describes a nationality.
