the horrible corruption of our noble heritage in the last years. He is brave for saying what needs to be said, being a voice of reason, calling us to the true meaning of our religion. Why won't he be more prominent in public life?

It personally took me over 15 years to understand what parshat amalek is all about. I too in ignorance rejected it on 'humanities' laws. But as I said I now fully understand it and fully accept it tho it may be painful to my 'humanity' but I see the hidden truth and wisdom behind it. Anyway onto burg without a capital b. To have him make commentary as if hes a Torah sage, scholar let alone a Rav all of which he is none of. I can only explain it by understanding where he is coming from. He clearly is of the minions of the Erev Rav which these days so permeates Israel so his comments are not suprising at all. I'm sure his late father cannot be too proud of his 'enlightened' son.

Try the part about Sdom and Gomorrah next? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3142682,00.html

A failed Labor politician who led Israel into an ambush called Olso? Ynet certainly has cast an odd duck to interpret Torah or anything related to Jewish history. If you want a pig declared kosher, why not just get one those pretend reform rabbis or rabbettes instead?

Avram Burg's assignment is to comment on the Torah the best he can (which leaves much to be desired) Neither he nor anyone else has the authority to determine what or any part of the Torah "must be exised." Different generations reach their own interpretations of every word in the Torah without Burg's "editing."

It would not surprise me if you roll out Ahmad Tibi to give a Dvar Torah next.This Burg chap has lost it.

From reading this pack of lies, it would seem that perhaps the author is amalek dressed in modern liberal clothing...an amalek of thought....or at least part of the eruv rav....the sages were uncomfortable with the mitzvah to wipe out Amalek!! How much arrogance can one article contain....if the sages were here today...they might view falsehood and fake Torah like this to be equally dangerous to the Jewish Nation...to commandment to wipe out evil (i.e. non-truth) would demand that this articles is "erased" for all time..DON'T FORGET!
