I was speaking about the Orthodox in America at that point before we shifted to Israel.

If you're running for office, every person's vote weighs the same. That's really the point I was trying to make.

To make things even more complex, the Secular Jews from Israel have Orthodox Jew status in the Jewish communities outside of Israel.

Israeli politics is a mess, and we haven't even scraped the tip of the iceberg.

In case you're wondering, I'm not Jewish. I lived in Jewish neighborhoods in America, and learned a lot by making friends and asking questions.
