Hamodia's Political Prostitute Yosef Rapaport

Hamodia's Yosef Rapaport promoted homosexual marriages and said Lashon Harah on the one Orthodox Jew that acted like Pinchos. 

Yes people, Parshas Pinchos is coming soon, and in that parsho, the B'nei Yisroel are rebelling against Moshe Rabbeinu. 

The same Jews who are holier than Rav Moshe Fienstien, the leader of Shevet Shimon, slept with the prostitute daughter of the king of Midyan

Now Zimri, Rapaport, wants to shun Pinchos and embrace his sex-partner.

His view is not the Torah view.  HE might as well join the Reform movement.

There you have it [Hat Tip to Jacob Kornbluh] my interview with Anthony Weiner. In the background you see Yermi Brenner who did a story on the event for the Forward. For a better audio of the chat before the forum organized by FJCC and COJO of Flatbush, click here

It was a very lively debate, with one heckler who interrupted Bill DeBlasio when he mentioned the  word “LGBT” with shouts of “Shame” and other invectives.  I have observed over the years candidates who speak to mostly  Orthodox audiences avoid the topic altogether. Most Haredim [Ultra-Orthodox] are content with that standoff. After all virtually all politicians -especially those running for citywide office- have the same views on social issues.

The issue is how do we as Orthodox Jews find our place in a this big metropolis and have our rights and needs protected. Many zealots in our community have a view that the issue of “LGBT” should be not only be at the forefront of Haredi concerns; it must be the ‘only’ demand the Orthodox have! Concern for Yeshivos in general, for Special Needs Children, Security for Yeshivos and Institutions should be set aside. Hatzolah„ Shomrim, Ohel, Misaskim all should fend for themselves. Even Metzitza BePeh should be at most, of secondary concern. 

Those who hold this opinion -and they are many- direct most of their anger at Haredi Jewish Organizations for not making this the one-and-only test in this and other elections of any politician seeking Orthodox support. So the Hecklers were out there mostly to embarrass the organizers; that failed and for her part Ms. Quinn took the cue and was not shy to mention “my wife” in response to the heckler. Obviously presuming she has nothing to lose with our community anyways. 

I have a feeling that the great majority of Orthodox Jews, even if they deeply abhor the gay lifestyle, recognize that government support and tolerance of our religious practices sometimes depend on having an understanding with government. The demand “to-be-left-alone” regarding MBP ultimately rests with an appeal for fairness, that is solidly grounded in American law and polity. Those laws are based on the same principles that give the LGBT community their right to behave has they please.
I won’t provide a link to the words “they please”, but mohel’s practitioners of MBP can point to the NY City Dept of Health treatment of high risk behavior in Bars and Bathhouses from whom the Department never demands that any of their clients must sign any form, or from bath-keepers to keep form records on file for a year

So on the issue of MBP and the Orthodox struggle to prevent the city from regulating the procedure, Haredim might have to resort to an appeal to principles that are based on the same grounds that give rights to others with whom we strongly disagree.

Anthony Weiner hit this point during the debate when he passionately pointed out, that “I am a proud liberal, but I believe that regarding many issues including “metzitzah bepeh” there is a such a thing as ‘liberal elitism’ which i oppose” as he went on to explain principles of tolerance and religious liberty

For that he got strong applause [and silence from the heckler].
