These mechallelei shabbos are fighting for the control of the WJC so that they can brag at their treif cocktail parties who is a better Jew. L’chaim!
Flatbush Bubby,
Instead of talking about Lauder’s shortcomings,focus on the schools he has opened in Eastern Europe. We are talking about millions of dollars.
No one gives a hoot wabout the WJC. It accomplishes nothing for Yiddishkeit.
Monseyman: I think Flatbush Bubby still has a point: As long as it is clear that these people do not represent your typical “Jew in the street”, they can do whatever they want for world Jewry; this way, we avoid Chilul Hashem about any shortcomings in observance they people may have.
When someone hears “WJC”, they think “Jewish Vatican (lihavdil)” – this is a misconception that must not be continually perpetuated.
While its true…
Bronfman and Lauder both support many frum moisdas.
can anyone enlighten us on what exactly the WJC actually does?
cherry – It does nothing much.
