THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE IN THIS PROGRAM ,THE WAY AND WHAT THEY THINK BEING JEWISH IS ABOUT.
THE OLD MAN, JACK AISENBERG WHO DID NOT GET A LOT OF JEWISH EDUCATION IN POLAND, EXPLAINED
G-D WAS KIND TO HIM ,THAT HE SURVIVED THE WAR AND BECAME RICH AND HAS GOT GRANDCHILDREN .
HIS BEING JEWISH IS A RACE AND NOT A RELIGION ,WHICH I EXPLAINED IN MY PROGRAM.
JOEL LEVER , EXPLAINED THAT HE DID NOT KEEP SHABBOS OR ANY OF THE JEWISH LAWS,HE COULD NOT EVEN MAKE A BRACHA.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HE CAN READ HEBREW.
CAN YOU TELL ME IF HIS DAUGHTER FALLS IN LOVE WITH A NON-JEW , WHY SHOULD SHE NOT MARRY OUT ?
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TEN YEARS DOWN THE LINE.
BERNETTE CLARKE SHOWED AND TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THE 613 MITZVOTH WHICH MADE US JEWISH ON MOUNT SINAI .
SHE HERSELF EXPLAINED SHE WAS MORE ORTHODOX THEN HER PARENTS.
SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT THAT BEING JEWISH IS NOT JUST BEING BORN TO JEWISH PARENTS OR BEING A SERVIVOR OF THE HOLOCAUST .
THERE WAS NO INPUT BY SOMEONE FROM THE ULTRA ORTHODOX PEOPLE WHO KEEP THE 613 MITZVOTH.
THEY FINISHED THE PROGRAM BY SHOWING PURIM.
A STREET SCENE WHERE THEY ALL DANCED TOGETHER AND BERNETTE CLARKE COMMENTS THIS IS WHAT SHE LIKES WHEN THEY ALL DANCE TOGETHER.
WHAT WE NEED IS A PROGRAM WHERE I OR SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS THE GUTS, DEBATES WITH PEOPLE LIKE JACK AISENBERG AND JOEL LEVER THAT THEIR LIFESTYLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING A JEW.

The fact that you are claiming to be a rabbi when you are obviously ignorant surpasses me. Jack suffered through the atrocities of the holocaust, his little brother and his whole family were brutally murdered and quite frankly i-and many others I'm sure find the way in which you simplify and play down jacks experience extremely offensive. Do you seriously lack empathy to such a degree to not understand that Jack has every reason to not like-or even believe in god. Judaism is not defined as one single image at which every person must adhere to. It is a whole branch of different observances united by the belief in the same god. What gives you the right to berate other jews who are probably better people than you are- and no by that I don't mean that they follow pointless mitzvahs which benefit no one and have their heads stuck in books all the time. I mean that they play a huge role in the active community giving charity and helping the needy. You may realise this if you stopped isolating yourself from the people who need you and spending obsessive amounts of time "studying". Define a "proper" jew, you clearly are not one."Love thy neighbout like thyself" is certainly one of the key elements of judaism and you are failing to do even that. So perhaps you should learn from the people who have "nothing to do with being jewish". I am a secular jew and I clearly know more about the fundamental elements of judaism then you do. Go back to your books.
