Quote of the Day
Unfortunately, the Haredim are the greatest Reformers, in many many ways. Including IDF draft, as there is no gemara, no person who says that learning Torah protects on issues of life and death.

He's got some nerve criticizing anyone seen as a reformer.
1) I don't think you means "Reformers" (that is often used to refer to Protestant Reformers), but "Reform Jews".
ReplyDelete2) It's ironic that he says that there is no one correct way in Judaism, in the context of saying that one approach is incorrect.
