Advocate for Living Jews or Dead Jews?
- - - - by Akiva
Letter To the Editor
Jewish Press
In this weeks Jewish Press, Rabbi Porush writes about the tragedy of the Jewish cemetery in Vilna being destroyed. He states it’s our duty to do something to stop it, stating we are not allowed to remain silent. Yet he states this as Prime Minster Olmert returns from the U.S. with plans to displace and expel tens of thousands of living Jews, not to mention disinter several cemetaries. He further intends to partition Jerusalem!
While Rabbi Porush would have us advocate for the dead Jews of old Vilna, his own party, United Torah Judaism, is negotiating to enter Olmert’s government, thereby supporting his plans to disinter tens of thousands of living Jews from their home in the Holy Land, Eretz HaKodesh, Israel.
Are Jews only worth advocating for once they’re dead? Shall we wait until they’re homeless to begin collecting tzedakah? Shall we wait until the rockets hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to advocate for security?
Rabbi Porush, your priorities make no sense!
Who will stand up for the living, for the land? Who will stand up before it’s too late?
