Unfortunately, I can't agree with your list. While there are some very nice and Ehrlich rabbinic on there, I've personally seen 3 of them abuse their power and go against Halachos for their pride. It's one thing to make a mistake, it's another not to own up to it.<br /><br />I think part of the reason it's so hard to find trustworthy rabbonim is because power corrupts. We've invested to much blind faith and power into human beings. We need to be able to question and hold rabbonim accountable. That's not to say that it should be done in a disrespectful manner, but nobody should be above the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-49663498952636164462007-05-03T22:10:00.000-04:002007-05-03T22:10:00.000-04:00So does Ehud Olmert!You won't get any argument fro...<I><BR/>So does Ehud Olmert!</I><BR/><BR/>You won't get any argument from me, but then the only Israeli political party that I've been affiliated with is banned.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ou.org/shabbat_shalom/article/parshiot_acharay_kedoshim_tears_and_military_might/" REL="nofollow"><BR/>Speaking of which, there's a fine essay by the author of <I>Mei Menucha</I> on the OU site.</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1176152847983&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull" REL="nofollow">And for contrast to Olmert, to see how a true Jewish statesman acts, read this article from the J'lem Post about Menachem Begin's radio address on May 15, 1948.</A>Ronnie Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354604639104958833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-480991645628188802007-05-03T19:06:00.000-04:002007-05-03T19:06:00.000-04:00He consciously provides aid and comfort to the ene...He consciously provides aid and comfort to the enemies of the Jewish people. <BR/>__________________________<BR/><BR/>So does Ehud Olmert!Paul Mendlowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887774341136059873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-83939368860534106702007-05-03T18:57:00.000-04:002007-05-03T18:57:00.000-04:00I'm a ultra orthodox religious jew and second UOJs...<I>I'm a ultra orthodox religious jew and second UOJs opinion.

Instead of shipping the board to a technician in New Jersey (which will take at least 3 or 4 days and about $350), I'm going to try to save some time and money by replacing the component myself since a local electronics supply has the right transistor. Unfortunately I had to attend a funeral and the supplier was closing early today so I won't know until sometime tomorrow if this will work. If it doesn't work I'll have to have the tech rebuild it.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep everyone updated on any progress.<BR/><BR/>I already have the blanks in stock so b'ezrat HaShem as soon as the machine is up and running I'll be able to get the orders out.

With a failure rate of over 87 percent, the German program has been rightfully and widely criticized by survivors and Jewish and humanitarian organizations. Considering that ICHEIC has done only marginally better, why hasn’t there been a similar public uproar? <BR/><BR/>Chairman Eagleburger is quoted as having said that ICHEIC “has achieved its goal of bringing a small measure of justice to those who have been denied it for so long.” As a lawyer who has closely worked with ICHEIC claimants, I sadly disagree. For nine years, ICHEIC failed the very people it was created to serve.<BR/><BR/>Yisroel Schulman is the president of the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-84961944202308905392007-05-03T13:26:00.000-04:002007-05-03T13:26:00.000-04:00Lakewood Talmid,I read and read and read...(no nov...Lakewood Talmid,<BR/><BR/>I read and read and read...(no novels or fiction) I forget the sources, but they are accurate based on my studies.(unfortunately)<BR/><BR/>I am not referring to the scientists/philosophers like Dennett, Dawkins.
