Reply To: Chashuve Rabbonim participating in Public Events with Goiyeshe Prayers

With one exception, I wasn’t bothered and in fact felt it was appropriate for the two rabbonim to be in attendance. BTW, as you can probably sense, I am makeil on many issues that the chumrah crowd finds very offensive. What really did both me bigtime was the decision to import the Evangelical galach from Texas who has a history of racist, islamaphoic and implicitly anti-Semitic remarks which devalue yidden and yiddeshkeit, along with Mormons and other minority faith groups. BTW, he did mention the name of his “moishiach” explicitly whereas he could have offered a less offensive and inclusive prayer. This was really a Trump campaign rally for his right wing base and was orchestrated with that in mind.
