1. Tinukhamu min ha-Shamayim
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (10.21.13)
Proves that educated, working Jews are the true lovers of Torah; that they remain strong and vibrant in a dynamic modern world; starkly different from, le-havdil, arrogant and abusive Ultra-Orthodox cult zombies who idolatrously worship their rabbis, throw rocks and dirty diapers at fellow Jews, call Orthodox elementary schoolgirls gentile whores -- driving Jews away from Torah and enraging the world to hate Jews and Israel.
2. If all Israeli students would be educated
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.21.13)
according his methods,there would be less drinking and other problems among the IDF soldiers. May Rabbi Zuckerman's soul rest in peace.
3. A Litvishe Gadol
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (10.21.13)
Baruch Dayan HaEmess. A great product of the Lithuanian or Litvish tradition. Most Diaspora Litvish yeshivah high schools today follow his view and include core curriculum secular studies.
4. Reply to 1. Regarding Haredim
Joseph ,   London England   (10.21.13)
Your description of Haredim probably applies to less than half of one per cent of Haredim. These and those [UTJ and BY] are both the word of the Living G-D.
5. 1you are not different than
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.21.13)
anti-semites using stereotypes to describe Jews.
6. Valuable secular education efforts. May he rest in peace.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.21.13)
He understood that transition away from Orthodox primitivism requires modern education and he worked hard to achieve it gradually. His were noble efforts, meaningful. The colorful shirts on those who attended his funeral are an expression of departure from the retarded black and white. His memory will linger among the progressive elements within Jewish religion and promote further progress. Rest in peace good man.
7. 6 Michael,good to hear from you ..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.21.13)
a nice word about a religious man. Thanks to these children's fine behaviour, more and more secular parents might chose to give a religious education to their children. And Israel will become Am Ehad. And may be you will be tempted too by this sane way of life,and you will come back to your birth country.Miracles happen.
8. ORA, My experience with Kipot Srugot has always been postive
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.21.13)
Thank you for a kind word. My fiance was Kipa Sruga. Just keep in mind that for Israel to be Am Ehad, it needs to include Arabs on an equal basis. Miracles do happen, will happen when Arabs become Am Ehad with non-Arabs in Israel. Like the Blacks and Whites and Indians in America, slowly but surely.
9. 4 Are you aware that "small %age" same argument
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (10.21.13)
that moderate Muslims make about Muslim terrorists that Christians make about the Shoah, missionary efforts, persecutions, etc. Until Khareidim make the differentiation themselves, meaningfully (expelling such evil ones from their midst), then they remain at the minimum passive supporters and sympathizers; collaborators. All of the slander and bile (see, for example, #5) they pour out on other Jews is likened by Torah to murder; and those who don't make a separation from them are guilty of standing idly by the blood of their brother. Interesting that ynet permits slander against me liberally, then refuses my response time after time
10. 9 Are you aware that you compare..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.21.13)
spitters with killers?
11. 10-Did spitters not slander? TORAH equate to killers
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   www.netzarim.co.il   (10.22.13)
It's the Sages who equated slander with murder. I merely pointed it out. You attempt to shoot the messenger of truth, defending the guilty -- again.
12. Much nachum soon to his am echad
