As a child in Israel, I was fascinated with these rules.
That said, I’m saddened to see how so many people are excited by these laws, when people who are forced to live by them in Israel suffer, as there’s only one kind of “true” Judaism followed here. They can and often are used for discrimination, hate towards minorities and significant limits of freedom about what you can do, who to marry, what to eat and more.
For example, someone here used “goyim” in its pure sense - someone not from the people of Israel. I’ve often seen it used as a hate word.
