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

Dorahleh; You totally misinterpreted my post. You don’t know what ma yomru hagoyim means?
Also your post can be misunderstood to read that Rabbi Wolowik runs the Chabad house in 5 Towns together with the 2 galochim! That is obviously not what you meant. Reread your posts before hitting the submit button.
Re the awkwardness, I once heard an interesting story from Rabbi Manis Friedman. He was asked to speak to a Jewish woman who wanted to convert to Christianity. He asked her why she wanted to convert. She said that she discovered such beautiful scripture there. He asked her, such as? She said, like Psalms!!! She had no idea it was from our Tanach! So if the galach quotes Tanach it should be off limits to us? By the way I was proud that President Bush quoted Tehillim when he addressed the nation after the Sept 11 attacks. He quoted from the mizmor ledovid we sing at seuda shlishis. גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות לא אירה רע כי אתה עמדי. Even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I am not afraid because you are with me.
