Before the new year, I pointed out the Sephardic Community Magazine's endorsement of homosexual supporter Jack Hidary.
This blog is the first blog to point out in plain English (other blogs and/or news outlets mentioned his homosexual support in politicalese language saying he is a "social progressive").
Now an exclusive news tip (so I was told in the e-mail) tell me that a group called Jews for Jesus tried to place an ad in the Sephardic Community Magazine, but was rejected for not being in compliance with Jewish law.
Jews for Jesus is forbidden by the Unorthodox Community Magazine.
Sam Sutton's Jews for Homosexuality -- embraced. Pour it on. The god of money is ruling the Sephardic Yeshivish Magazine.
Before the new year, I sent e-mails out to a few readers and asked if they could investigate the Sephardic reaction to the Community Magazine's endorsement of homosexual supporter Jack Hidary.
One rabbi said "How could it be, it came from Bnei Yosef" This is the shul where the rabbi donated to Erick Salgado's campaign.
A store owner who usually has free copies of the community magazine available told a reader of this blog that he threw out the entire batch of magazines and said "this is not a community magazine".
So the backlash against the Community Magazine has begun even though it said as clear as day on the Jack Hidary article "This is a paid advertisement"
Question remains, why didn't the Sephardic Magazine accept the Jews for Jesus ad, but accepted the Jews for homosexuality ad?

Come Back, Ezra!—“Chazor Boch!” (An anonymous comment)
I found this comment posted while I was away.
Ezra Friedlander: You Have Crossed a “Red Line,”
and You Have Become a Problem for the Orthodox Jewish Community
by Rabbi William Handler
Ezra, we go back many, many years.
I remember you as a restless bochur—not really “off-the-derech”—just a restless boy who got involved with New York City politicians out of sheer boredom with yeshiva.
As you may recall, I was always worried for you. I liked you--you are a Rebbeshe Einikel (Liska), with a sweet personality—and I urged you, whenever we met, to normalize your life, get married and start a family—“Tachlis.”
Well, I don’t know if was my influence that did it, but you did get married, and you parlayed your connections and influence with the prominent public officials in New York City into a successful public relations business—“The Friedlander Group.”
So far, so good.
You promoted yourself to prominent organizations in the Orthodox Jewish community—Agudas Yisroel, HASC, COJO--as a well-connected political “Maven,” who could reach out to the top political leaders in New York and be an advocate for the Orthodox Jewish community.
Very good, indeed!
But, along the way, something happened. You forgot who you are, and where you belong—You switched sides!
Instead of being an advocate for the Orthodox community to the political leaders, you were seduced by the power and the glory and the glamour of political life, to become an advocate for the politicians to the Jewish community.
And that makes all the world of difference, both for you personally, and for the Orthodox Jewish community.
You are now bringing the Pagan Avodah Zorah into the heart of our communities, kashering the people who are determined to undermine all religion and all the traditional standards of decency, including ours.
Since when do Orthodox Jews celebrate Tu-Bisevat with advocates of Gay Marriage, as you celebrated with Christine Quinn in your home, making a parody of a holy occasion?
Since it is so obvious to anyone who looks at you that you are a Hasidic “Rabbi,” don’t you realize that you have a special responsibility to represent Hasidic Jews in a way that brings honor to our community?
Don’t you think it is a Chilul Hashem—a disgrace of our Torah—for such an obviously religious Jew to be hobnobbing and advocating for someone who most religious gentiles consider to be an extreme opponent of the most elementary Biblical value—the sacredness of the marriage bond.
Did you ask an Halachic Shaila from a competent Rav before you made this drastic move? Did you ask your father, the Lisker Rebbe?
So, Quinn has pledged to throw some money at our community. Do we sell our souls for a few Shekels? Do we have the right to strike a Faustian bargain at the expense of Chilul Hashem—the desecration of G-D’s name, and the desecration of the name of His people among the nations of the world?
Ezra, for the sake of your eternal soul, and for the sake of our Orthodox Jewish community, I believe that you have an obligation to resign immediately from the Quinn campaign.
Ezra: You don’t belong there--and neither do we!

Queens Jewish Link Endorses Pro-Jew Candidate
Not all the papers are like the pedophile supporting Jewish Press. There does exist good news. The Queens Jewish Link (QJL) reported the dozens of rabbis who endorsed Erick Salgado.
This reminds me of the wonderful letters that the Nazis forced Jews to write to their relatives. "Everything is fine. I will be home soon. Don't worry about me...."
signed
Hakol Sheker
So the QJL has their "disclaimer" that they don't endorse candidates, but they ensured the most important information in their mayoral profiling.
They also made sure that everyone knew Quinn is a lesbian.
"Quinn would be the first lesbian elected"
Thank you for letting us know not to vote for her.

Pedophile and Homosexual Supporter Sam Sutton
Sam Sutton's Sephardic Community Federation endorsed lesbian Christine Quinn for mayor and pedophile supporter Charles Hynes for District Attorney.
It makes the matter worse when his own personal rabbi endorsed Erick Salgado, and previously signed letters against any candidate supporting homosexuality.
Now Sam Sutton tramples on the Torah, and endorsed a lesbian -- he does so right before judgment day.
Sam Sutton should see his wealth disappear before he dies.

Unorthodox Jack Hidary Supports Homosexuality!
Yeshiva World News reported on a new candidate running for mayor. Jack Hidary, a self proclaimed Orthodox Jew, is running for mayor.
He described himself as socially progressive, which means he supports homosexual marriages.
He prides himself on being Sephardic, but the Sephardic Jews are well known to oppose homosexual marriages.
Hidary looks like another David Weprin.

Satmar Chasidus Opposes Math -- Supports Homosexuality
After reading a recent post by Failed Messiah, I asked myself a question. Satmar is going all out to protest against the Israeli government for teaching math, but have no problem with the NY State government teaching homosexuality and pornography.
Lesbian Christine Quinn Not Endorsed By Rabbi Shaul Robinson
This past Shabbos, mayoral candidate and lesbian Christine Quinn was invited by a shul member at the Lincoln Square shul in Manhattan.
Rabbi Shaul Robinson allowed his gabbai to make an announcement right after davening that people would have the "opportunity" to meet with Quinn.
In an e-mail, Robinson implied that he wanted to have the opportunity for his shul to meet other candidates as well, and he believed that it is against the law to invite only the candidate he supports.
He also indicated that he would allow any candidate to visit his shul if asked.
Robinson strongly opposes homosexual marriages and made clear in his e-mail that he did not endorse Quinn.
However, Robinson did allow his shul to march in the Israeli Gay Parade. It is questionable if Robinson was aware of the last minute ban against the Israeli Day Parade, or if he relied on Yisroel Belsky's heter.
