Who Is The Chief Rabbi Of Los Angeles?

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Luke Ford

I was told today that it was Rabbi David Rue of the Los Angeles Beit Din. He has a long white beard and a knitted yarmulke and sandals like Jesus. He looks like a West Bank settler but without the big gun.

Rabbi Rue is as good a choice as any for Chief Rabbi.

He’s not political like the other rabbis. He just tells it straight.

I’ll never forget the time he rose to speak at a 1997 (?) MCLE seminar. He was following Rabbi Abner Weiss who had opened the heavens with his oratory.

Rabbi Rue proceeded to rip up the RCC (Rabbinical Council of California) and other rabbis in Los Angeles. He said they didn’t know much Torah. That they were ignorant and corrupt.

Rabbi Rue held nothing back.

There were about 50 lawyers there and only one bloke wore a yarmulke.

Rabbi Rue runs the original Straight Talk Express.

Pico Joe emails: "Abner Weiss is LA’s Chief Rabbi. He’s the most independent and broad-minded rabbi in the city."

My Father The Theologian

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Luke Ford

Fred the Jew writes:

Sir,

I actually downloaded a video of your father discussing a theological issue with John Ankerberg. I had the following reactions:

1. It looks like your father’s entire professional life is wrapped up in theology. Is that so?

2. Is your conversion to Judaism an act of rebellion?

3. Your father and Ankerberg were discussing some arcane issue of theology. Apparently there is some passage in the book of Daniel what someone interpreted as predicting that at some time Christ would move from one location in heaven to another location in heaven to evaluate whether humans really merited salvation. It really sounds like "angels dancing on the head of a pin" type theology, and struck me as the sort of thing that was hard to take seriously. How much of your Dad’s work is like that?

4. Do you and your Dad ever discuss theology?

BTW, I see the resemblance between you and your Dad.

I was referring to the physical resemblance. As for theological resemblance, since he is a devout Protestant who believes in the trinity, that Christ died, went to hell and was resurrected as part of a plan of salvation, and that all believers (but only believers) are saved, I suppose there are probably not many theological similarities between you and him.

BTW, I am about 85% done with reading the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church. A lapsed Catholic friend of mine (who is now very anti-Catholic) gave it to me. My lapsed Catholic friend lost all religious faith when the priests told him that masturbation was a sin.

The entire idea of the trinity strikes me as an "angels dancing on the head of a pin" type doctrine. It has no practical meaning.

Second, the idea that someone had to be crucified to save everyone else does not sound like a reasonable belief. The omnipotent God does not have to do things like that. He could simply save believers without any sort of crucifiction.

Third, the idea of Christ dying does not make any sense. The entire idea of "dying" is its permanence. If I am in a coma, and wake up 3 days later, I was never dead. If someone is going to wake up, by definition he was never dead. It is impossible to kill God (or for that matter, one of his three component parts).

BTW, Christ apparently said to one of the thieves with whom he was crucified that he and the thief will be in paradise that day. Yet Christ apparently descended into hell after crucifiction. How could he have been with the thief that day in paradise?

My dad’s entire life is devoted to theology (Jesus Christ, transmitting the mechanics of salvation, preparing for the world to come, etc).

Yes, my conversion to Judaism was an act of rebellion. It was much more than that too.

The mechanics of the Heavenly Sanctuary is not important (and not even comprehensible) to non-believers but the essence of the discussion is readily understandable — choseness. Every group believes it is specially chosen and unless you believe your group is specially chosen, you and your offspring will drift out of it.

Whole Truth

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Luke Ford

Whole Foods seems to be engaged in some incredible self-congratulation. In the ultimate "green" PR stunt, the company is boasting about its use of 100% recycled paper bags. To consumers, this promotion sounds wonderful: its a futher feel-good measure by company beloved among residents of wealthy enclaves on both coasts. In reality, this initiative is very misleading; the "recycled" bags are no different than the bags used by other grocers — though competitors don’t have the same marketing influence that Whole Foods enjoys. I expect Whole Foods thought it would ride a wave of good publicity for this act of corporate "generosity." Please. Here’s a reminder to consumers: these bags are neither new nor revolutionary; it’s the same old stuff, but with the stamp of approval from a brand that wants an easy photo-op.

Park La Brea Housing Complex Takes Out 24 Restraining Orders Against A ‘Jon Novian’

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Luke Ford

Each restraining order is a separate case number. There must be a great story here.

Park La Brea brought all these restraining orders.

What does a person have to do to get 24 people that angry?

Nobody has ever brought a restraining order against me, but then again, I’m a lover of peace.

Failed Messiah Banned By Google Adsense

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Luke Ford

Shmarya Rosenberg got this email from Adsense:

While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as failedmessiah.typepad.com. Publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on sites with content advocating against any individual, group, or organization. As a result, we have disabled ad serving to the site. Your AdSense account remains active.

I don’t agree with Google’s decision, but I understand it. Advertisers don’t want to be associated with websites that are dedicated to slamming someone or something and FailedMessiah does seem to be overwhelmingly negative with regard to Chabad in particular and Orthodox Judaism in general (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). An Adsense rep who got a complaint would just have to look at the name of the site and his decision would be easy.

Shmarya responds:

Luke, Thanks for the post. Just realize that advocating against child abuse in haredi communities or against Chabad messianism is not the same thing as advocating against blacks (a la the KKK), or against Jews (a la Storm Front, etc.). Also realize that, unlike the sites Google’s policy was intended for, I have open comments. If you look at them you’ll see a large number of comments from people defending particular child abusers or rabbis who allegedly protected those abusers, for example. My posts do not exist in isolation. Further, I ran an open invitation (a challenge, really) several years ago to Chabad. I offered to publish a detailed guest post rebutting what I wrote about the Rebbe and Ethiopian Jews. My only caveat was that Chabad needed to cite a non-Chabad halakhic source supporting the Rebbe’s contention that the spiritual needs of American Jews came before the very lives of Ethiopian Jews then starving to death in Africa. I had that as a standing invitation for a long time. Chabad never took me up on it.

Advocating against a man that was willing to allow the tortured deaths of thousands of black Jews in order to get you in the comfort of L.A. to don a pair of tefillin is not only the morally correct thing to do – it is the only option I have as an honest person.

As for Google’s alleged concern for how its ads are viewed, remember the large number of ads for Messianic Judaism and Hebrew Christianity that ran on Protocols and dozens of other Jewish blogs? Google refused to filter those ads, just as it refuses to filter other ads site owners find objectionable. And think about how this effected other Jewish advertisers whose ads were placed next to J for J ads.

Google is not taking the high road here. It’s taking the easy way out, punishing a little site like me rather than stand up for the idea that exposing abuse does not equal hate.

‘Standard Operating Procedure’

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Luke Ford

If you think Abu Ghraib (humiliation of Iraqi prisoners and occasional torture) was an important story, then you should see this new documentary from Sony Classics.

I don’t think Abu Ghraib is a big deal.

This movie is competent and occasionally visually stunning.

I thought it was 15 minutes too long.

It’s getting high marks from the critics.

It’s not a good date movie unless you’ve got a weird date.

Here’s my video review.

nicholas:  Probably a good thing.
ChaimAmalek:  Yeah.

ChaimAmalek:  I will defend her honor.
ChaimAmalek:  Certainly, in all of my dealings with her, she has not been in the least slutty.
User JesusC left the room.
ChaimAmalek:  In fact, with respect to me, she is rather chaste.

Gur Hasidim In LA?

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Luke Ford

Joe emails: "Hi Mr. Ford, I enjoy your site on the internet very much.  I have a question that I think you may be able to assist me with.  Is there a Gur shul in Los Angeles??  I assume there is (because I saw Gur Hasids in the Beverly-La Brea area.)  Do you have contact info for the Gur Shul?"

I’m pretty sure I have a lot of Gur Hasidim reading my website.

Rabbi Yossie Naiman of Jerusalem Tours is the head of West Coast Friends of Ger.

What Do I Do When I Get Bored?

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Luke Ford

I never get bored. Sometimes I get depressed and feel hopeless but I never get bored. I always feel like there are many things to do. I always feel like I don’t have enough time.

My life is full.

I spend most of my time working. Then I’m at synagogue or with my friends. I spend about 20 hours a week reading. I watch the odd movie. I listen to a ton of lectures and books on CD.

Over the past month, I’ve enjoyed meeting people through my cam.

I felt bored at times during my Seventh-Day Adventist childhood but I haven’t felt bored since taking control of my life in 10th grade when I moved to a public school for the first time (Placer High School).

I’m Live On My Cam And Teaching Torah!

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Luke Ford

Click here to check out my cam. I’ve got the Rambam, Jesus Christ, YHWH and El Shaddai in my chat room taking questions. Our topic today is menstruation and shaking hands with women which I try to avoid as it can lead to dancing.

Bornyo writes on XPT: "He’s really yucking it up- drinking his own urine in some weird orthodox jewish ritual."

Dean Wormer writes: " How exciting. He appears to be sleeping on his futon right now. Is this what fake Jews do for fun?"

Handful writes: I logged in as Handful this afternoon. He waved and said hi enthusiastically. I asked if he’s coming back to XPT. His smile disappeared and he answered with a simple ‘no’.

Then I logged out cause I realized I was sitting in my living room, watching Luke Ford sitting in his living room.

That was more fun with greater numbers. I loved watching the look on his face as more and more xpters logged in.

Fatman writes: Luke [spoken]: Ohhh … I see … sex with Holly Randall was a violation. I no longer do that RamBam. I no longer bang shiksa. …. It was fun though. 

Holly Randall posts: Bullshit. If a shiksa was willing to spread her legs for him, he’d dive right in.

Nugent writes: I don’t know what’s more pathetic, his godamn webcam, or the fact I’m watching it. My wife will eventually come save me. Holy shit. You know when you can’t look away from something that truly sucks? It’s kinda like that.
