I got this email: When will liberal Jews realize that “Unity” does not mean embracing the enemies who want to destroy Israel and the Jewish People?
Apparently, many who attended the so-called “unity” event for Yom Ha’atzmaut in Sinai Temple were appalled.
Below is one sample of the emails to R. Wolpe flooding the community:
Rabbi David Wolpe, Sinai Temple Los Angeles, California 90024
Dear Rabbi Wolpe,
I was very much looking forward to your celebration of Israel’s 62nd Birthday and Unity Concert, but during and throughout I was very disappointed and distressed.

Q. 9:28-29 ‘Fight those people of the Book (Jews and Christians) who do not believe in Allah
