Their sister was a legal secretary. The "rabbi"said " I guess she was the only one who made something out of herself.''<br />The Reform rabbi was at the suburaban shul for millionaires. I am not religious, but I know that if there is a God in accord with Jewish teachings, he does not rate people by their financial success.<br />However, the Gentiles know full well that we do that to ourselves. it does nothing to enhance our poularity with them, to say the least. They watch us, and are amazed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-1102246690813803022004-12-05T13:38:00.000+02:002004-12-05T13:38:00.000+02:00I did notice, and I wondered if he was related...I did notice, and I wondered if he was related...Jeffrey R.

However, to my way of thinking, there can be no correct context for such a horrible statement.<br /><br />During the time of Ezra, this is the very sort of person who would have stayed comfortably in Bavel... and his views perfectly illustrate why Ezra wouldn't accept contributions for the reconstruction of the BH"M from there.<br /><br />I want to know what can be organized to get this guy out of the driver's seat at the OU.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.treppenwitz.com">~treppenwitz~</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
