INDEED! These very same leaders will shed bitter tears about the 6 million of 60 years ago, but won't move a finger to help save TODAY's Jews in danger. Shame on them!

ATTN ENGLISH SPEAKERS: THE "JEWISH HEART" EMAIL CAMPAIGN BEGINS

 

Negotiations on how to set up a Palestinian terror state just a bike-ride away from Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Israel's sole international airport are ongoing as we speak (the goal of Annapolis is to finish these this year -- 2008). The mother of this idea is said to be the Israeli government (although the Israeli government never agreed to set up a Palestinian state given that terror is still ongoing) - but the father is George Bush.

 

Therefore, American Jewish organizations must speak up against the two-state solution. So far, even the Orthodox have not bothered to do so. All English speakers should make the following Jewish Heart email campaign a top priority.

 

The Jewish Heart email campaign is the brainchild of FaigeRayzel, a well known American Hareidi activist on behalf of Eretz Yisrael. It is embarrassing to report that up until now, this outspoken woman activist has been working all alone to obtain statements from the Orthodox Jewish establishment organizations on behalf of Judea and Samaria. For example, here is her shortened report on recent conversations with 2 prominent Hareidi-American rabbis: 

 

"I attended the AJOP Convention in Baltimore.  I was privileged to speak with R' Kamenetsky the Rosh Yeshiva of Philadelphia and R' Feldman the Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Yisroel.  I caught the Roshei Yeshivoth in the hallways, surrounded by many.  I approached R' Kamenetsky and asked "What is the position of the Rabbonim regarding the 2-state solution, the abandonment of Yesha."  He smiled but didn't respond. I spoke about a Mishneh  which discusses how daylight is determined (for purposes of sacrifices) in which Hebron is a key player. I said: "Doesn't this show that in order to start the Avoda in Yerushalayim  you need Hebron?"  Rav Kamenetsky smiled as did all those surrounding him.  I then waited until others had finished talking with Rav Feldman and asked him also: "What about Yesha?".   Then, in a Question and Answer session, I passed the question "What is the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah position regarding territorial concessions in Yesha?"  From Rav Kamenetsky's answer it seemed he was sympathizing. On his way out, once again I managed to get a few words with Rav Kamenetsky.  I mentioned what Rav Feldman had said and asked Rav Kamenetsky to please relay certain information to Rav Feldman.  Rav Kamenetsky agreed."   

 

FaigeRayzel has asked everybody to please email the major American Orthodox Jewish organizations as follows (even better -- write your own email):

 

Distinguished Leaders of Young Israel,  OU, and Aguda USA: Aren't Agudath Yisroel of America, the National Council of Young Israel and the Orthodox Union (OU)  against a Palestinian "Homeland" and the destruction of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria? THEN, PLEASE SAY SO!  Make a Public Statement so that President Bush will hear you.  Don't just say so quietly to yourselves.   He thinks you support his Roadmap! Your constituents have faith in you to represent them, to be their voice. As a United Torah Voice tell President Bush that the Roadmap (the Two State Solution) is contrary to Torah. In the Torah, the Land of Israel is Promised to the Nation of Israel exclusively and is not to be shared with Palestinians or any other Nation.

 

Alternatively or in addition, point out: It is perfectly obvious that a new terror state -- just a bike-ride away from Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Israel's sole international airport -- threatens the existence of the ONLY Jewish state in the world; whereas there are over 20 Arab states in the world already. Also, as pointed out recently by Nobel Prize laureate Prof. Yisrael Aumann, forceable deportation of tens of thousands of people (including Jews) is a crime against humanity. In many cases, the Jews who are at rish to undergo this suffering are first-degree relatives of your own members; it is unthinkable for you to fail to prevent their suffering: Please delay no further in speaking out on their - and Israel's - behalf.

 

The email addresses of the Public Affairs Departments at  Aguda USA, Young Israel and OU are:

 plerner@youngisrael.org; dzwiebel@agudathisrael.org; shafran@agudathisrael.org; ipa@oa.org;
