In the process it can get a little bumby and you most probably will get a little wet, that is kind of the whole idea.<BR/><BR/>Almost forgot, your comment (which has merit) and this post have very little to do with one another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-88921347423586230852007-04-16T11:39:00.000-04:002007-04-16T11:39:00.000-04:00If Jewish bloggers want to make waves as a group, ...If Jewish bloggers want to make waves as a group, this should start with removing expressions of kefira and mockery of Torah leaders from their blogs (I realize that not all blogs are guilty of harboring this stuff).<BR/><BR/>Then their declarations about community matters might carry some weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-83894732544358795442007-04-15T12:03:00.000-04:002007-04-15T12:03:00.000-04:00I think this is a very good first step, and as Sho...I think this is a very good first step, and as Shoshana said, Baltimore is known for its unity among the rabbis.

I do hope that other communities will follow suit.

We should also force ALL of our schools to sign similar statements. If they refuse, withdraw your children and refuse to support them financially. The tide is turning. Lets keep it going in the right direction.DAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475799835170867139noreply@blogger.com
