NO one represents Jewishness if he goes against the Torah. If a person is a doctor,it is because he earned it. A person who defines himself as a Jew,esp. a “frum” Jew,must also earn it.Is he doesn’t uphold the Torah,he cannot,by definition,be a representative of the Jewish people.

like i wrote in another post, the problem is that many of our peoople oppose us, both in this issue, and in israel issue, on pollard issue, etc.

jewish organizations, from all perspectives; chassidish, litvishe, modern orthodox, all of them tripped over each other before the last election honoring spitzer in their dinners, issuing press releases, etc.

now, when he (and the speaker of the house) publically do exactly what they publically said they would do, we are all surprised???

I find the NY Sun to be solid pro-Israel. There is not enough media attention being given to the fact that an Orthodox Jew, as S Silver is described in the NY TImes, votes for the alternative lifestyle. It flies in the face of the entire Torah. As I stated earlier, which gedolei Yisroel, if any, did this guy consult? I seriously question the frumkeit of an individual who would vote for this disgusting lifestyle which will be in the open. what am I to do with my children 10 years from now when they see this on the streets of New York. Someone please explain to me how I am to explain to my children this sick behavior. I know on whose doorstep to lay this blame on!

As a former New Yorker, I believe Shomrei Torah UMitzvos should apply strong pressure. Before doing so, it would be appropriate for New Yorkers to ask the following Sheilah of their leading Poskim: Should Speaker Silver, Governor Spitzer, and other Jewish politicians be told that if the Toevah proposal becomes law — as a result of their action or lack of action — they will be excommunicated (i.e., placed in Cherem) by the Rabbonim!

I liked the NY Sun, it’s a shame the paper also prints stuff that I don’t want in my house, I used to subscribe to it. Their politics and worldview is clearheaded and center-right. (What used to be called “liberal Democrat”, before circa 1968)
