Copenhagen - time for Denmark's 7000 Jews to read the writing on the wall?
Scandinavia has traditionally been known for its amicable liberalism of freedom. That's true in many ways, as long as you're not Jewish.
Sweden that prides itself on religious freedom is actually vigorously anti-Jewish. Jewish ritual slaughter of kosher meat (shechita) is against the law in Sweden and in Norway. Furthermore, a certified Jewish mohel may not perform a brit (ritual circumcision) in Sweden unless a medical doctor and an anesthesia nurse are looking over the mohel's shoulder. If that's not enough, reported anti-semitic crimes have been on a steady rise in Sweden since the 1990's.
Now, Denmark is joining the anti-Jewish bandwagon. The Copenhagen Post reports a new proposal on its way to Parliament that would outlaw mail circumcision.
Everything Hashem does is for the very best. A Jew cannot possibly live in a place where brit mila is outlawed. This is our holy covenant with Hashem, a mitzva that we have martyred ourselves to preserve since the dawn of Jewish history. The bare truth is that outlawing circumcison is a de facto prohibition of Judaism.
It's high time that our 7000 beloved brethren in the benevolent butter-cookie diaspora of Denmark read the writing on the wall and come home to the Land of their Forefathers while they still can. Hashem wants you here.
