Israel has a slightly different spectrum: Secular (major holidays and life events only) -> Masoretic (practicing but not strict) -> National Religious -> Haredi. They're about 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% of the Jewish* population, respectively. And there are no non-Orthodox rabbis.

Apparently there's a whole cadre of these people I know through a mutual friend in Upstate New York. They all agreed that critics were unfair and that Collateral Beauty is a powerful message that's great for people who are grieving.

You'd love Israel. Making plans more than a few days in advance is pointless. Denying an invitation is socially suspect. Accepting an invitation and then not showing up is unforgivable.

Make her fill out a TPS report.

And if you live in Idaho, they're not allowed to find work with a similar business! Isn't feudalism great?

Huh. Wherever I've lived, matinee crowds are way worse than evening ones.

Why do you keep capitalizing Foreign?

My grandmother outright refused to teach me. She thought it was a waste of time, and despite not speaking Hebrew, she was much more of a Hebraist than a Yiddishist.
