You always have something negative to say about those who observe but never to rebuke those who don't. Those who don't and don't know better is one thing and that is why there are so many kiruv organizations so we (who are responsible one for the other) can bring them back to their roots and, thus, hasten, our Geulah. Also, you seem to be proud of yourself saying <br />you really have no fear of Heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-67715365412966236412019-05-20T12:39:16.034+03:002019-05-20T12:39:16.034+03:00Why is it scary?

All they do by the fake protest is create more anger and derision towards religion. If they were going to acually do something, one might say it is worth it, as it is stoppign chilul shabbos. but if not doing anything anyway, why cause fighting and anger for no purpose?Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-50016505158815989762019-05-20T04:02:15.909+03:002019-05-20T04:02:15.909+03:00All well and good about focusing on one's '...All well and good about focusing on one's 'own' Shabbat instead of other Jews' observance. This is not the point; the point is that desecration of the Shabbat is being promoted in Eretz Yisrael. When the Jew lives in the galut, he is responsible firstly for himself and his own, but when there is public desecration of the Shabbat and efforts pushing for it in Eretz Yisrael by Jews, no less, it becomes scary. H' is watching and there is always retribution from Above when teshuva is not done.

I.e., instead of focusing about what other people are doing wrong, we should try to find a way to enhance our own Shabbat.Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.com
