Kol Nidrei is so haunting! I am nearly moved to tears every Yom Kippur

@chaimss ...So if i convert to Judaism, i can go live in Israel..?...just asking because, I'm curious.

[chaimss]

There's a big problem with that:

There's a huge difference between supremacism and this: what's the common denominator between blacks, indians, etc? They always are blacks, indians, etc. so the haters hate. With Jews though... anyone can join! Any group that allows outsiders to join can't be considered racist! By definition Nazi'ism etc. felt that they were the master race, period. You couldn't decide to "become" Aryan.

@chaimss Racist supremacism was the same method used by the Nazis to obtain world supremacy. Racism in this video is self evident. Just imagine a white nordic with a swastika in the background advocating whites to mary whites only and how sad it is to see so many whites marry jews or blacks or indians, pakis, arabs. You get this racist rabbi gist.

HEIL HERTZL! HAIL HESS HAIL MARX!

@1ASHKENAZI What was racist about what he said? That we're part of a remarkable story and that we're losing more Jews to assimilation than we did to the Holocaust?

[1ASHKENAZI]

Can you imagine an Aryan, an Arab or a Slav speaking like that! That person would sure be labeled a RACIST for sure. HEIL HERTZL!
