Anger at Torah Leadership

An article by Rabbi Rabbi Dovid E. Eidensohn Direct and to the point. Maybe more Rabbonim will start to get the idea as well. One can only hope. I'd love to get in touch with this guy...

I knew him and several of his sons. Not nice people at all unless they are trying to get money out of you...

And as you know, the telethon is coming up. Sunday the ninth.

Irrespective of whether or not rabbi c and his sons are nice people, would you say that money donated to the telethon is well spent?

I've always rather like the idea of a non-denominational drug-treatment center, which is one of their causes. And the other things they busk for are also good causes, tho' some have a more limited sectarian purpose than others.

Assuming, of course, he doesn't skim off the top, no, I have no issue with the telethon other than an Orthodox Rabbi making a complete fool of himself on national tv...:)

I take it you don't watch much religious broadcasting (smiley here)?

At least there are no choirs wearing powder blue tuxes with wide lapels (the males) and rose-pink moomoos (the females) singing shmaltzy hymns in sepulchral tones. With.... one.... token.... black person.... of.... each.... gender... in the choir, just to prove that no sirree they're integrated.

And dancing rabbis are so much better than fire-and-brimstone 'Jayzuslovesya butyer gonna go ta hayl anyways' sermons.

The telethon is the only exposure many of us get to any kind of rebbeim..... most of us goyim are kinda in the dark as far as the other necks of the religious woods.

[Blinkers - they're the goyish tfillin.]

Still, non-denominational drug treatment centre. As usual, I'll make my leap of faith and donate.

Well, enjoy the telethon! Does MBD still appear?
