They can't match Ashkenazi knowledge," he told the pamphlet. "So what do they do? They connect to simple nationalism and vote Likud." <br />you are quoting this <br />"Sephardi Jews are more natural and purer than Ashkenazim because, unlike the Ashkenazim who went as far as Europe, the Sephardi Jews didn't move that far away, didn't live among Christians and studied the Zohar,"<br />good clean up right? but then he messes that up as well <br />Zuckerman added that Sephardi Jews didn't study the Zohar "extensively or deeply, so they lack a well-founded opinion."<br /><br /><br />Evidently rav chaim vital didnt know what he was doing, nor did the rashash, the ben ish chai, the baba sali, rav kaduri and the countless other great mekubalim. They all lacked a well founded opinion in the Zohar because they were simply not smart enough to understand whats going on, how could they, their skin is darker. Another thing you fail to realize is that if this came from a politician or professor then no one really cares because being a politician or a professor doesn't place you on a higher moral ground. On the other hand being a rabbi, and a big name one at that... well lets just say that people assuming hes a faker would be the best case scenario.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-84520632531294543022012-04-23T15:10:24.369+03:002012-04-23T15:10:24.369+03:00Its like this for communities as well.

When we made the mistake of (oh my gosh, telling the truth) that we were not planning to stay in Aviv, our former "close" friends shut us out ASAP, no more lunch invitations or play dates. My husband and I were very hurt but we realized after we moved out that the Aviv people were fakers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-70600734433215608012012-04-23T12:52:08.260+03:002012-04-23T12:52:08.260+03:00Did he mean "don't" or "can...Did he mean "don't" or "can't". Is it a factual generalization or a prejudiced opinion. Without any knowledge of the case, probably the first.Rafi (S)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103892755392538611noreply@blogger.com
