Rabbiner Dov Lior aus Kirjat Arba und Rabbiner Juval Scherlo aus Petach Tikvah schaffen es, gleich mehrere Tritte gegen ihre „Gegner” zu platzieren, um Klal Jisrael ganz weit nach vorne zu bringen: Ynet berichtete gestern:

A new Halacha ruling issued by Rabbi Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba instructs Orthodox Jews to steer clear of participating in any events held by Reform Jews and prohibits entering their synagogues. These new restrictions have turned the attitude towards Reform Judaism into one less tolerant than extended to Islam. The Rabbi’s ruling was posted to the Beit-El Yeshiva website, after one of the visitors submitted a question on the matter to the Rabbi. Jewish law forbids Jews from entering churches as Christianity is viewed as idolatry, entering mosques, however, is permitted as Muslims, like Jews, believe only in one deity. Ynet

Rabbiner Scherlo setzt nach und erklärt,dass Reformjuden „schlimmer” seien als Muslime:

Rabbi Sherlo addressed the comparison between Reform Judaism and other religious, saying that “The argument against Reform Jews is stronger than that against Christianity and Islam, due to the face that they are idolaters and enemies, but they’re there and we’re here. Reforms are fakers.”

Auslöser für diese zu klaren Worte war eine Anfrage eines 12jährigen Mädchens:

Following question from 12 yea- old girl invited to a cousin’s Bat Mitzvah - Rabbi Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba rules Orthodox Jews forbidden from attending Reform events, entering Reform synagogues – deeming them worse than Muslims

Auf diese Weise macht Rabbiner Lior auch Werbung für seine Auffassung vom Judentum und seine Sicht auf die Welt in der kein Platz ist für Menschen mit anderen Auffassungen.
