Adat Yeshurun Shootings

Joe emails: You won’t get this in the mainstream media, but the first victim was apparently in the tile business and owed money to the israeli mafia. The second victim was hit as a witness and had no part in the mess.

I must say, as an orthodox leaning jew, it is time for us to take out our trash. We are duty bound to do so.

And I do not mean "Peulat Sachir" pablum that Kanefsky, Muskin et. al. have thought of.

I mean the type of Bernard Madoff, Robert Kasirer, Spinka Hasidim, New Jersey Syrina Community, David Rubin, and Israeli Mafia crap.

The orthodox rabbinate should make clear this Shabbat that business behavior that gets jews on the front pages of the newspapers because there is a mafioso shooting at the local synagogue or there is an indictment for tax evastion is UNACCEPTABLE. It is a descration of G-d’s name and it literally puts worshippers and perhaps children in danger. I have to hand it to the Israeli mafia though, when they collect a debt they do not mess around with a hit at the home, they go where the deadbeat is, even if it is at the house of god.
