Is the penalty for apostasy death?

Ask Christians if they think the Bible is the revealed word of God. Ask Orthodox Jews the same about the Torah.

A survey conducted late last month revealed that nearly all Israeli Jews own a Bible, that most revere it as the holy Word of God, and that nearly half the Jewish population still reads from the Scriptures at least on occasion.

Well, that is just propagandist BS. Israeli Jews are, on the whole, among the most secular populations in the world. Maybe 10-15% of them are orthodox, most of the rest definitely not.

As I understand it, the Torah is basically the Old Testament, and it's sort of scary that Jews consult it!
