CJV Responds to 330 Rabbis Banning Religious Members of Knesset
Coalition for Jewish Values, representing over 2,000 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in American public policy, responded today to the pledge of 330 non-Orthodox rabbis to ban democratically elected Orthodox Jewish Members of Israel’s Knesset from speaking in their Temples, and to lobby their communities to do the same. CJV pointed to an obvious, anti-Jewish double standard displayed by all signatories to the pledge.
“Their call reveals the unrestrained hypocrisy of these non-Orthodox (and anti-Orthodox) movements,” said CJV President Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld. “The same people who virtue-signal their ’tolerance’ demonstrate that they are the least tolerant of all. Anyone who speaks outside their ideological echo chamber must be canceled, censored, and banned. Israel has not, contrary to their claims, disenfranchised them. Rather, it is they who seek to disenfranchise Israel.”
CJV noted that Reform leaders met with Mahmoud Abbas at his office in Ramallah, when it was already known that the Palestinian Authority was providing rich financial rewards to families of terrorists. Non-Orthodox rabbis made no such call to ban former MK Hanin Zoabi or the United Arab List after she called for the dissolution of Israel. And more recently, the Religious Action Center of the Reform movement joined a letter insisting that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has faced “false accusations” of antisemitic and anti-Israel bias, despite overwhelming evidence and statements even from Members of Congress of her own party condemning her hateful rhetoric.

“Their frantic call to reject duly-elected Members of Knesset reflects their alienation from both the Israeli electorate and the mainstream American pro-Israel community,” added CJV Midwestern Regional Vice President Rabbi Ze’ev Smason. “These rabbis not only grant undue credulity to antisemitic double standards at a time of increasing antisemitism, but further, during the holiday of Chanukah, align themselves with the Hellenists who sought to muzzle authentic Jewish voices. One thing is certain: hundreds of authentic Jewish congregations will welcome these and other Members of Knesset with open arms.”

Why is this garbage on your site, Reb Yudel??
This is on the site to educate the people like you in knowing that some individuals are doing the job for you, and support them financially.
Very well put. If they would have a fraction of economic and popular support of other organizations, we would change the whole world!
Too many continually pay lip service for change in the world in Aleinu
really prefer to remain in the present hogwash instead though
You mean we should support Rabbi JS your very good friend.
When Joel Shoinfeld wrote in the Queens Vaad propaganda magazine that "kashrus was never from the yesodos of Yiddishkeit" kaviyochol, farkert from the kol koray signed by all the pre-War Gedolim (see Achiezer chelek 4 somewhere in the first 20 teshuvos), Shoinfeld veizt that he is also sometimes in the machaneh of the non-Orthodox clergy.
Will the Real Joel Shoinfeld please stand up
Joey had to walk in the shoes of Fabian; he could not malign him under any circumstances.
But the Coalition for Jewish Values is doing a great job for Klal Yisroel, you don't have to like all of the players, but the job they are doing is to be commended to say the least.
R' Yudel is a "nafshi k'afar" Yid for giving credit to Joel for CJV because Joel wrote that above mentioned anti-kashrus outrage as part of a raving lunacy that was actually an attack on R' Yudel

Sir.
Sorry about your gross ignorance.
Please see comment # 2 - by host We assume.
Do you realize that the Fabian era ended.
Do you realize that JS is now under the influence.
Like the influence of MH.
DUH. DUH. Duh.
Do your homework.
Who's MH?
MH, is Mordechai Hershkowitz of BMG fame.
What does Mordechai Hershkowitz have to do with Queens?
He'll go to the moon to raise funds for bmg.
Hershkowitz retired. R' Fabian lebt shoin nisht. Who is this poster who's trapped in an ancient time warp? Next he'll tell us he remembers when pre-Churban Maurice Ave in Maspeth, Queens, was gepackt mit heimishe fleish gesheften & Mincha minyanim, shtieblach style all afternoon.
And all the yesoimim with many gold teeth who lived there. And had to pay twice for their graves and then got thrown out to the dogs.
You guys are so far behind in the Queens going ons that you can’t imagine queens is not on the next page or chapter, they are in a different mesechtah.
Keep up the surfing maybe you’ll get updated and understand all those code words in the first couple of comments
Open your mouth & imbibe the Kool Aid
Since when is the Houston Vaad doing the propagandizing of AKO & OK?
https://rabbiwolbe.com/rabbi-nosson-dubin-on-the-recent-kosher-restaurant-scandal/
According to the Houston Vaad, the OK was doing the most superb job possible in Manalapan but were overcome by an absolutely impossible situation that no hashgocho on Earth could have avoided.
1930s Maurice Ave is way too recent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flushing,_Queens#Precolonial_and_colonial_history
In 1654 pre-NY, New Amsterdam, tze geven az the Flushing / Kew Gardens Hills section of Queens was known as Vlissingen.
The anteh-Semitt Governor Peter Stuyvesant assered many public displays of Yiddishkeit, including shuls. If he would've let the Queens Vaad be the exclusive shgooche he wouldn't have been such a bad guy after all!
Don't give me a penny. We give them. They've been sacrificing on a shoestring. And they will continue to do so.
What about yourself?
