Anger from the Orthodox world

By Fair Lawn and Rabbi Dr. Wallace Greene June 13, 2014, 4:00 am Edit

I was very upset to see the entire Page 3 of last week’s Jewish Standard devoted to mocking the sensibilities, beliefs and practices of ultra-Orthodox Jews. There is enough Jew-hatred in the world without Jews deprecating the practices of other Jews with whom they might disagree. I am sure that there are many denominational practices in other Jewish belief systems that can easily lend themselves to ridicule by those not sharing those beliefs. Would an entire page be devoted to mocking the Amish for their beliefs ? The Hindus for theirs ? Etc. etc. The Jewish community deserves better from the Standard.
