T oday’s Reformers in Israel are not just demanding to worship how they want they’re insisting that the rest of us consider their denial of all that we consider Divinely mandated as a legitimate alternative — while a century ago they tried to destroy every traditional kehillah that stood in their path

Last week I told you about a conversation I had with a friend — well maybe it was more like an argument — regarding the inroads the Reform movement is trying to make at the Kosel as they try to poison the souls of their own congregants with their divisive propaganda. My friend who is a natural peacemaker and has the beautiful middah of live-and-let-live didn’t really want to hear what I had to say and as we parted I debated whether to give him up as a lost cause or pursue the discussion by phone. In the end I decided to write him an e-mail which I would like to share with you:

MY FRIEND I HOPE YOU’VE GIVEN some thought to the recent discussion we had at the Kosel and I hope I was able to dispel some of the fog around the true essence of the movement we were discussing. And now I’d like to tell you about the true aims of that movement. Their fondest aspiration is to destroy the delicate fabric of life in Israel.

You don’t believe me? You think I’m judging them much too harshly? Being paranoid? Then pay attention to what I’m about to tell you.
