I am not disputing the tradegy of loss of human life. But what you are trying to say is that hitler is the one who decides who is halachikly Jewish? One has nothing to do with the other. For the past 4000 years it has been passed on from father to son that Judaism goes through the mother. I for one will not break that chain because hitler decided to kill whoever had a Jewish father.

I wanted to get the info out. If the research is wrong, let's deal with it. I'm ok with that. If the research is right, let's deal with that. I'm ok with that too. But let's not acquiesce to keep the info suppressed. Torah is true. Therefore, truth is my ally and ignorance is my enemy; no exceptions.

The Torah a medical and scientific book? Tell me - why isn't it used in medical school around the world. Is the cure for cancer in it? What about polio? Or are these just silly little omissions, because those that wrote it had bigger fish to fry? The guys who wrote the Torah believed that the world was flat. Need I say more? Don't discount me. I am one of you.
34. Wrong #24
(11.14.13)
Not all Orthodox are bigots. You are just a troll.

Israeli 2   (11.14.13)
I can definitely discount your rhetoric. The answer is YES. It is all in there. There are no "guys" who wrote the Torah. G-d wrote the Torah and gave it to Moses for those who are smart enough to cherish its treasures. To the contrary. IF you know Torah as someone should, there is plenty of proof that "those guys who wrote the Torah" never thought that the Earth was flat. Like I said, IGNORANCE all over!
36. Stav Shows His True Colors
Gordon Silverman ,   Bronx USA   (11.14.13)
So this is the "moderate" Rabbi Stav. Hmm
37. Mervav Michaeli Stay out of our Judaism
UltimateMadWoman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.14.13)
38. 37- Contract (b'rit) with the Creator is for His creation
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   www.netzarim.co.il   (11.15.13)
All mankind; whomever chooses to accept the yoke of Torah. A contract is between two contracting parties. It is NOT yours!
39. Being Jewish
Edouard ,   Canada   (11.15.13)
Any person that love israel and Jewish people have right to convert We must make it simple to convert We need people much more people Not rabbis,not orthodox A child from one Jewish parent is Jewish that it ,it's enough The most important it's eduction. We are not some sort of Arians race
40. What is halfjews? Just a question
(11.15.13)
41. Judaism - No Racial Purity
Gil Yashar ,   Golan Heights   (11.15.13)
MK Michaeli makes an ignorant and untrue statement that "the Orthodox Rabbinate in Israel is that it thinks in terms of the purity of the Jewish race". Orthodox Judaism has adherents from ALL races. Orthodox Judaism is principled and consistent in requiring RELIGIOUS purity - NOT RACIAL purity.

Iam agree with you.
43. 41 Rabbinate requires purity of medievalism & superstition
Non-KoolAid Drinker ,   DrinkyurownKoolAid   (11.15.13)
THATS the Rabbinate definition of "RELIGIOUS purity" - NOT Tora
44. He should not lash out at Reform
Guy ,   Earth   (11.15.13)
It prevents assimilation in diaspora. Some Orthodox don't respect other affiliations. A man like Stav doesn't want separate Religion from State, of course; struggle for power, nothing to do with Torah. Just politics...
