B'nei Yisrael II
I have done some more thinking today about my discussion last night. (This was around learning some very interesting things in a class today about Microsoft Powerpoint.)
The first think I would like to add to the discussion is about the seeming dislike between different groups of Jews is that there have always been differences in belief and interpretation amoung Jews. There is Ashkenas and Sfard. There are different branches of Chasidic. There were difference among our fore-fathers. These differences are nothing new, and until Moshiach comes not likely to be different.
Yet dispite the proof that things were 'always' contentious in what we believed and how we practiced, we have statements like these from Heshy today:
"They mad a pact with the devil and enemy of Torah and G-d.That enemy is is secular zionism.Foolishly these religious knitted kippah leaders got their flock to put their emotions and trust in the enemies of G-d."
and
"They were worse than the reform or conservative heretical sects. WHAT THE RELIGIOUS ZIONIST LEADERS WANTED WAS TO SHOW EVERYONE THE SAME FOOLISHNESS THAT HERE IN AMERICA THE MODERN ORTHODOX LEADERS WANT TO PROPAGANDIZE."
First of all if a goyish religious leader made statements like this about any Jews the cries of anti-semitism would be heard around the world. So why are these kind of stupid statements accepted from someone who is Jewish. I find the statements to be sickening and disgusting.
Heshy's statements are hate-filled statements of a bigoted person, unfortunately this bigot against Jews is Jewish. Heshy likes to believe he is mister religious because he 'follows' Halakhah. I would state that frankly with Jews with these attitudes we have more problems than solutions.
It is my belief that Heshy, and other like him, have spent so much time in Christian countries that they have adopted the Christian attitude of I better than you. Heshy isn't living the life of being 'a light unto the nations' he is living the life of being 'a pox upon my nation.' His 'hate' of other Jews will drive more people away from Judaism than all the anti-semitism in the world. I have tried, on several, occasions to explain this to Heshy, but is either unwilling or unable to understand how his spewing of this like the above are hurting the Jewish people. If they make him feel better I hope it helps, but for every Jew that believes as he does 5 are pushed away for fear of becoming Heshy.
I will continue to address this issue as time goes on, I feel very strongly about it and feel it is time for the Heshy's of the world to come back to how Hashem expects us to treat other Jews, not how Heshy believes he is to treat other Jews.
