The nation of Israel was reborn in Canaan in 1948 as foretold by the prophet Ezekial in Ezekial 37.[1] It was to be a home for the Jewish people.
Hebrew, the long dead language of the Jews, was revived and is the official language, although English is also widely spoken. Arabic is a secondary language.
The population of Israel is nearly 10,000,000. Jews constitute 73 percent, Muslims constitute 18 percent and the balance is of various other faiths. Of the Jews, 49 percent self-identify as secular.
Judaism and Islam require circumcision, however not all Jews and Muslims actually follow the teachings of their religion. Haaretz reported that many Israeli parents are not circumcising their sons.[2]
The Jerusalem Post has expressed some concern about loss of sexual sensation after loss of the foreskin by circumcision.[3]
