He was manipulating voters by making an election about a sideshow, the same way, for example, somehow the 1988 election for president became about flag burning (if memory serves). Who cares? These are not the major issues and he had no right to make this election a referendum on our values. Storobin will not roll back the tide of public opinion and the changed moral conceptions of New Yorkers in the 21st century. <br /><br />Never went away. :-)S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-17429696105393212342012-03-20T16:49:05.154-04:002012-03-20T16:49:05.154-04:00BUT in golus...should we??? is it our job to turn...BUT in golus...should we??? is it our job to turn Brooklyn/ America around or to take care of our Mosdos???The Bray of Fundiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552912825252813495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-47949255066892140832012-03-20T16:14:00.503-04:002012-03-20T16:14:00.503-04:00Yes, S.

I suppose that is why we have dissenting Rabbonim.<br /><br />Nevertheless, if one must take a handout privately - even from a Marxist :-), that is one thing, but we should have a certain amount of Bitachon that Storobin could deliver the same funds for our Mosdos. To publicly show the world that we compromise our values for money is a very poor lesson to teach.

And one votes for a party, not a person, (albeit with the recent change in PM position).<br /><br />Granted, some don't participate altogether.<br /><br />But here, in a Jewish district, it is a sorry state to offer up candidates such as Schumer, Solarz, Wiener, Fidler etc. who represent us but don't come anywhere near representing our values. If the Bob Turner victory was labeled a Kiddush Hashem, this could certainly be considered the opposite.<br /><br />Finally, we have the chance to show the world that we care more about our values than our purse.SoMeHoW Frumhttp://somehowfrum.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-10810693544079491312012-03-20T13:38:18.059-04:002012-03-20T13:38:18.059-04:00parenthetically this is the same gripe I have on o...parenthetically this is the same gripe I have on our Batei Yaakov teaching lashon qodesh in haavara ashkenazis.
