He noted they give an impression that Judaism supports homosexuality and transgenderism, despite the religion’s explicit prohibitions against such behavior. “The problem is [Mirvis’] position and perceived status puts a kosher stamp on his actions, thereby making what the Torah forbids appear as if it is now a mitzvah (commandment),” said Rabbi Reuven. Not mincing any words, he added, “The fact that he is a Chief Rabbi makes this 100 times more dangerous than the countless locals Rabbis that have sold their souls to the devil.” Rabbi Reuven noted that from the response he has received to his criticism of Rabbi Mirvis’ guidelines, he has seen that “the majority of people are baffled and distraught by this.”* Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the concept of "Erev Rav" - those who outwardly appear Jewish but have no genuine connection to Torah, often misleading others with their words and actions. He warns against those who modernize Torah to fit their desires, highlighting the importance of true "Yirat Shamayim" (fear of God) as the foundation for Torah study. He emphasizes that while we should not hate those who sin, we should not condone or accept their actions. He stresses the significance of "Yirat Shamayim" as the basis for real Torah observance and warns against those who, despite their knowledge, lack true "Yirat Shamayim," ultimately leading them to mislead others. Rabbi Reuven connects this concept to the historical Erev Rav, emphasizing that their goal is to weaken the Jewish nation by drawing them away from God, and highlights the danger of Erev Rav leaders who disguise themselves as Rabbis and seek to influence Jewish communities.
