There was an interesting article recently about religious marriages in Israel that are outside the purview of the Israeli rabbinate: http://www.haaretz.co.il/magazine/1.1527326

One of the people in mentioned in the article runs a blog on religion: http://tomerpersico.com/

Another very cool religion-related blog: http://thetalmudblog.wordpress.com/

This is an article about IDF women leaving a simchat Torah event when the rabbinate tried to force them into a special section: http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/female-soldiers-leave-idf-event-after-ordered-to-sit-in-separate-section-1.391426

A great gender related quote heard today: Romance movies ruin women, by making them think that these impossible situations happen in real life. Porn does the same for men.

Thoughts? Is that sexist because it assumes women watch romance and men watch porn?

Bli neder "Israeli rabbinate and marriage" rant to appear at some point, but I am truly exhausted for now.
