Transcript
0:10To finalize this part, we've talked to many, many Rabbis all over the world. Just locally, we have over 40 Rabbis that are doing everything they can to stop this horrific Chilul Hashem—just locally. And when I say "we," it's a group. Sometimes I've spoken to the prominent Rabbis; sometimes others spoke to the prominent Rabbis. So no one should quote me, saying, "Oh, you didn't speak," like the misquoted Rabbi Mizrachi.
1:42If you'd like, I'll give you the phone number. Top Beit Din in Yerushalayim. We also have letters to Rabbi Mazuz, who already wrote on his website, run away from this synagogue. Rabbi Mutzafi, somebody else wrote to him, another tzaddik, said, run away from this place. Not allowed to go. Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak ran away and actually said some bad things about the Rav. "Throw him out," or something like that. I don't remember the words verbatim. We even have letters; I even spoke to the office of the Rishon LeZion, the top rabbi in Israel. The office told me, "Of course this is not allowed. What kind of question is this? Is this a real question?" He asked me if I'm joking. He goes, "Well, it's a Reform, right?" I said, "No, it's an Orthodox. Modern Orthodox." Modern Orthodox to us is like we already, we're so assimilated and misguided, we think it's the same. He said, "This is Orthodox? Of course, it's not allowed."
2:58What kind of question is this? He started lying. He was upset with me for asking such a question. A five-year-old boy in yeshiva knows it's not allowed. We even have a letter I sent. I gave it from two dayanim, two Av Beit Dins, in America, in New York. Asking nicely, please cancel the event. It's not allowed. Not allowed. Ignored, as a matter of fact, after the letter was sent. The very next day, they lowered the price to zero, dafka. Instead of hiding this event after you find out that you made a mistake, they make it easier for people to come, publicize even more, and make more flyers.
4:01One of the big rabbis that I spoke to in Yerushalayim, when I told him, yes, but they're really worried about hatred from the goyim. Like most likely I'm going to get after this lecture. I'll probably get more hatred from wicked Jews than I am going to get from goyim. But nonetheless, it means nothing to me. So I told this rabbi, a big, big mekubal. I told him, they're worried about hatred from the goyim. You know, we are in America. And he said this to me: Instead of being worried, tell the Rabbi, the head Rabbi, instead of being worried that canceling the missionary event will cause hatred from the goyim, you should really be worried about your kehillah turning into goyim. Where's the Kavod HaShem? Where is it? What god do you believe in that you think it's okay to bring an idol worshiper?
