On My Mind

You are pathetic.  You are the scum of the earth to take a beautiful event and belittle it.  You better start repenting as rumor is its hot in hell.

Steve, don’t be surprised, this is Phil’s M.O.  The event was broadcast on Channel 2 News with a live shot in the morning and they mentioned that it was open tot the community about 5 times.  But Phil is never wrong so channel 2 maust have been subliminially saying it was only for the Orthodox because the Reform and Conservetave communities would surely show their support had they been invited.  Maybe next time we should send a printed personal invitation - don’t bother if your doing it for Phil’s sake, he’d complain then too.  Remember when Phill stirs it up, it sells more JTs.

Unbelievable. You bash the orthodox no matter what they do. This memorial was sponsored in part by The Associated. However, the Associated neglected to send out emails promoting this event (emails to a contingency which in large part, is not orthodox). As well, the Board of Rabbis (mostly conservative and reform) were aware of this event, as they are an integral part of the Associated. Have you questioned why the Board of Rabbis neglected to inform their constituency?

This event was also posted on Facebook, which from my understanding drew in a lot of people. I personally know of many non-religious people who came to the event (one of whom, I may add, started lighting Shabbos candles because of it).

Were you able to personally view all 900 attendees and gage there religious preference? Highly doubtful.

It seems all you want to do is expose the negative about the orthodox community, but never the positive. Case in point, have you ever written an expose on sexual molestation in the conservative, reform or reconstructionist communities?

You know, Phil, it’s very interesting. When the Orthodox don’t show up to an event you bash them for that. When they do show up you bash them that they didn’t invite anyone else!!!  This WAS a community event. YOUR “personal hero” and “leaders” didn’t show up! It was advertised for everyone to see and everyone was invited. They chose not to attend.  And by the way, you apparently knew about it so why didn’t you invite them? I think it was beautiful that Orthodox Rabbis spoke about accepting everyone, even non Jews. You’ll always twist it to make the Orthodox look bad, whatever they do, don’t you.
