I’m not insulting Yerushalayim, to the contrary, I’m standing up for her.

And I’m not trying to bait anyone. I’m in earnest here.

There is something very black-and-white and extreme about your position. You act as if it is a purely good thing that we control Har Habayis, and that there are no downsides. In doing so, you fail to even consider whether the downsides are worth the upsides.

?? ???? ????????

More like ?? ???? ??????. The supreme court and the government decide who is allowed to make a chillul Hashem there. Today they say this much chillul Hashem, tomorrow they say that much.

You think Rav Yaakov would have been dancing if you had told him then that 40 years later the conservative would be using the kosel to feif un Hashem? I’m sure he wouldn’t have. Would he still have been happy? Probably. Likely.

But you all act as if now is the time for ???? ???? ????.

I’m not full of ????. It’s good; I’m glad I can go there; I’m glad for the regular kiddush Hashem that goes on there. But this isn’t a happy little wedding. It’s a wedding where half the family is trying to break the shidduch. And you don’t dance so geshmak at that type of wedding.
