Kevin,

I agree. The organ music is what gets me. And the fact 98% of what the rav says is in english.

About the only thing that is said in Hebrew is the first part of the Shema, and maybe Kaddish if you stick around afterwards prior to oneg.

Reformed Judaism is basically a stepping stone to assimilation. I went to a reformed "temple" one time and it was more like a Baptist Church. There were instruments and singers on microphones. There was music blasting. And this was on Shabbos! Thats why keeping traditions is so important. It has kept us together as a people.

Eitan:

That's a good question that I am yet to find an answer for. But you are 100% right.

IfYouWillIt:

That's so true. It's just sad that so many unknown people in history assimilated, and their descendants have missed out on being Jewish.

As I have heard it said - assimilation is finishing the job hitler started.

Tovya: I can't for the heck of it understand leftist Jews in their repugnant hate of everything Jewish. Maybe it's the guilt complex, maybe it's just their ignorance. The important thing is that we, as right wing Jews keep believing and stay strong and united.

Forever Jewish, Eitan.

Eitan:

I agree completely. Starting with each of us, we should all grow closer to Hashem, and keep our decsendants Jewish.

Stevin:

I agree with you completely as well. I find it odd that Leftist Jews are so anti-Orthodox, yet the only reason why they are still Jewish today is because of their ancestors who were frum.

Exactly!! The nations persecute, hate, destroy, create false religions and subvert Judaism (Christianity) all in the hope of dragging Jews away from the Covenant. HaShem has promised us a joy eternal if we follow the Covenant eternal.
Judaism is my faith, and everyday I'm more and more convicted to proclaim my desire to follow it, and encourage other Jews to do so, also. Lest they wallow

Tovya: I certainly think so too. As if it wasn't enough to be hated by the world we're witnessing a trend in which Jews are accepting Gentile ways and attaining a new level of complete disafran-chisement from Judaism.

To keep this from happening every one of us-perhaps starting with myself-must commit to the Jewish faith with a strong heart and a love for Israel.

בתקווה,איתן
