To the haters

To those sending hate mail with regards to next week’s benefit show (featured today at Arutz Sheva), I offer the following points of reflection:

Sinat chinam destroyed the beit hamikdash.
In shaming your fellow Jew, it is if you have killed him.
If you cannot give tokhakha in a way in which it will be received, it is better not to give it at all, lest you bear the sins of the one you reprove.
It is painful and saddening that the concept of kavod habriyot is so foreign to so many Jewish people.
If you cannot see that allowing Hizballah to lead post-war reconstruction efforts delivers them a post-war victory, and if you cannot see that allowing the world to perceive the Jewish people as cruel towards suffering innocents is a chilul Hashem, I can only regret the lack of perspective with which you are viewing our efforts.

May HaKadosh Baruchu bring redemption speedily in our days.

What the fu** is wrong with some of the commenters over on Arutz Sheva? Some of them come off sounding just as bad as the extremists on the arab side! So shameful to see such aweful hatred!

Mobius, my new best friend in all the world,

Can you provide English translations of the Hebrew for your shiksa acolytes?

As always, Gandhi has the last word (s)
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

I was very disturbed reading the comments on the article about your concert. I think your idea is a wonderful one, and I hope the concert went well and raised a lot of money. Maybe someday the haters will get the message, but somehow I doubt it.
