From Rabbi Ron Eisenman- An Open Letter to Rabbi Avi Shafran Director of Public Affairs for Agudath Israel of America

Much has been said and written around the world over the past few weeks about the kidnapped, now murdered, Israeli boys.

To the chagrin of many, the Satmar Rebbe Aaron Teitelbaum (one of two brothers claiming the title), lambasted the parents of the three boys for, bottom line, living in Israel.

Rabbi Ron Eisenman of Passaic, New Jersey's Ahavas Israel has called for a leading Orthodox umbrella group, Agudath Israel, to condemn his statements as it has done to other rabbis in other circumstances.

Rabbi Eisenman's letter may be read in full here.

I agree with the sentiments of Rabbi Eisenman and have written my own letter to Rabbi Shafran.  A reply is awaited.

 

Well, that's what I have to say. Stephen M. Flatow
