For years, Judaism has been a sort of product put on the religious shelf, and on holidays, we would take it off the shelf and let seculars play with it for a bit. Now, Judaism is going back to being something that more closely touches everyone.

From Yair Lapid

My children receive education that greatly emphasizes the fact they are part of a human group that has tradition, collective memory, and a state. I am a great believer in the need for Israel to be a Jewish state. I certainly believe my children will pass that on to their children.

From Yair Lapid

Israel's middle class is paying for those below it, and that's fine, but also for those who are above it, and that's very wrong.

From Yair Lapid

The Internet, Facebook, synagogue pamphlets, and the plethora of TV channels and cellular networks in our lives increasingly blur the boundary between the public and private sphere.

From Yair Lapid

The liberals will surely argue that every person has the right to fall in love with no regard to religion, creed or gender, but I am not that liberal.

From Yair Lapid

From Yair Lapid

If someone doubts our right to exist - be it on the hills of Umm al-Fahem or in Munich's beer halls, in Gaza's crowded streets or in the thick woods of Babi Yar - it's their problem. Proud states do not break into wails and crawl under the carpet when they discover someone doesn't love them.

From Yair Lapid

Jewish existence in the Land of Israel depends only on the Jews, and on what the Jews think of themselves.
