A Big Step for Pluralism
May 25th was a historic moment for the Knesset: the first ever assembly of a new lobby dedicated to the need for greater religious pluralism in Israel.
The Knesset session, led by MK Nitzan Horowitz of the Meretz Party and MK Shlomo Molla from Kadima, was packed with brainy, passionate people who all had woken up well before the rest of the country with the realization that things need to change here - and fast.
Professor Danny Mendler of the Chemistry Department at Hebrew University stood up at the meeting and asked - "why are we, the majority in Israel [referring to non ultra-Orthodox Jews] trying to figure out how to fight for our rights? Why are we letting ourselves be coerced by a religious minority? As a scientist, it makes no sense to me."
