1. What is a Jewish leader?
Sara ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
Someone who does what G-d wants for the Jewish people (like Moses) - an obedient servant because he is close to HaShem ? Or someone who "technically" is Jewish but had no connection to HaShem and could care less about HIS plan for the Jewish people. (This person is probably on the payroll of Meretz, Kadima, Peace Now, the EU, George Soros, NIF... They think they know better than G-d what is good for Israel and what the mission of the Jewish people should be. G-d is the LAST person they are going to take orders from). If the former, we have devine protection and nothing can stop us. If the later, we will be slaughtered and scattered just as we twice before.
2. #1 Anyone serving 'ה
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
is an immediate threat to the tyranny of medieval haredi illiterates who have, within the past few decades, strayed from the halacha of millennia to instead promote their superstitions in the name of Tora. The rabbis condemn those serving 'ה--instead of serving them--as secular, Leftist or Christian "threats" to their rule. Try something new: think!
3. jewish leadership
larry ,   narberth   (06.18.12)
What leadership? If you can write the check or get the money, you too can be a Jewish leader. In the US, the Jewish community is losing population every day. Why? Instead of thinking, Jews write checks and leave it to others. Instead of finding out why, the so called leaders act as though they are big shots and ignore the real world of the Jewish communities.
4. 21st Century
Gil ,   New York City, USA   (06.23.12)
All this talk about leadership - and let me put it to you simply. If I want to raise funds to serve a NFP's mission, I don't need "leadership" or a big organization. You cast a wide net, network socially, meet people face to face to face, raise the fund, and serve the mission - be it a cancer NFP or FIDF - the real issue is motivation and fostering it.
