Comment on URGENT Message from 3 Rabbis by Rachel Goldstein

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?

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.

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.

Dear Rabbi,
As the mother of the bride, I am filled with joy since the marriage of Stephanie to Aaron. I take great comfort in knowing that she has married a man of character and substance that will always love and care for her. I am grateful that you played a major role in helping to shape who Aaron is today. How blessed Aaron has been to have you as a part of his life since he was 14!
Thank you for performing such a sensitive, memorable marriage ceremony. Your presence there meant so much to all of us, and is greatly appreciated. I look forward to sharing many more simchas with you, whether in RI, NY or “sin city”.

Dear Rabbi,
As the father of that beautiful bride, it was a privilege for me as well
to stand under the Huppah with you. I could see the emotion that you
were feeling and I am glad that my daughter can see al the wonderful
things about the groom that you saw in him as a young man. Thank you
for coming all the way from Las Vegas and sharing these lovely thoughts.

Comment on Lech Lecha… The Day After… A True American Journey! by Maestri on "Torah Speaks"

BS”D

I do not think that these two approaches are necessarily at odds.
“Torah speaks the language of human beings” means that it uses terms which enable people to understand, even when those people are tied to their own personal and intellectual limitations. For instance, it says “the eyes of G-d” even if giving physical attributes to Hashem is not proper.

On the other hand Rabbi Akiva says that everything in Torah has a specifical function, and nothing is written (or not written) there for no reasons. Hashem with His Divine Wisdom has combined these and who knows how many other ideas in our holy Torah. And He gave it as a gift to us.

I worry how this political change will affect the state of Israel, any opinions on that?
