  1. Reform is vivacious. Fussy and lead bold. Why ever they think we are victorious in battle is odd.

    Thanks to Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ullman of Makava we have a history of defending Torah values to the heinous coerics of the movement.

    Use his influence to daven. This is so bad that ba’al teshuvah horror stories are vast their bible and tears. Ours too. Never again.

    • Hitler ym’s could have quit his job. The reform rabbis do it better. War for just mammon. The freedom only obscenity.

      Love the ba’al teshuvah. His stories are why we have a God verified. Real return.

      Go no where near. Full antisemitism under the guise of human terms. It is judaism reversed. Each of us is in danger. They convince gentiles of further antisemitism against kosher state.

      If it is in the gentiles hand, its in the reform. Only tigers are drunker to lull. The harsh trap of intermarriage is the pit.

      They all die. Universe will never accept.

      Fools.
