As a former friend of the Dubowsky’s, I am saddened to think that I sat at their Shabbat table and broke bread with them. Was Peter just as disgusted back then that his wife had invited conservative Jews to their home?

if this is what you think the worst thing Wyne has said on his show, you have to have your priorities straight – this is the same so-called Rabbi who said “if you want to get the girl of your dreams you should knock her up” and made fun of the holy rabbis of the Talmud – I am a Hasidic Rabbi but I always try my best to act respectfully toward clergy from Conservative and Reform temples – I respectfully disagree with them on many issues and agree with them on some issues over many Orthodox clergy people – however, any Conservative Rabbi I have ever met is a million times more of a rabbi than Wyne – he is just an oisvorf (I am no tzaddik myself, but I try to be careful about what I say on TV and radio – i admit i have made mistakes too, but this guy has nothing)

As an American I am all for free speech. But with the privelege of freedom and of free speech, comes the responsibility not to intentionally incite and divide, especially in these times. Shame on Mr Dubowsky and on Rabbi Wyne. I do not neither of these men personally nor do I care to.

You think this is bad? He has said worse things before. Here’s what I found on a different blog.

Subject: Rabbi Wyne said “knock her up” as way to “get the girl of your dreams” on Valentine’s day radio show
————————

On February 14, 2010 this same Yitz Wyne, the Young Israel rabbi in Las Vegas, NV said on his radio program on KDWN in Las Vegas “if you want to get the girl of your dreams … KNOCK HER UP!” on a heavily advertised radio program. Does this “instill into Jewish youth an understanding of high ethical and spiritual values of Judaism” ?? (section 2.1 of the Young Israel Constitution). Is this the way an Orthodox “Young Israel” rabbi speaks on the radio for everyone, including goyim, to hear!?! What a terrible Chillul Hashem!!

The 5/9/10 Rabbi Show on KDWN underscores the blasphemy and distortion of the Talmud by Wyne and his sidekick Peter. First of all, he does not give the source of the story (Jerusalem Talmud, Pe’ah 1:1), second he gets the story wrong and uses it to belittle and mock Rabbi Tarfon and his mother. An essential part of the story he fails to mention is that the reason the shoe could not be fixed was because it was Shabbos which Rabbi Tarfon’s mother would never violate or allow him to violate. For his stooge, a former president of YILV, to refer to Rabbi Tarfon in such derogatory fashion ( calling Rabbi Tarfon a “schmuck” ) and then to laugh about it shows they consider the Torah and Gemara a joke and demean it on the radio.

I’m so offended by Peter Dubowsky’s statements about Conservative Judaism and Rabbi Wyne’s “agreement by silence.” I’ve posted the letter to my Facebook page.
