Eirev Rav all the way
December 26, 2010 3:33 pm

We are definitely in Mitzrayim , look and the world around us..Eirev Rav are prevalent….why because they dont see what we see they dont know the value of the Torah or what its worth..There is a rise of Ba’alei Teshuva but inter marriage is also on the rise. Self hating jews are not the only problem believe me there are many other categories even within our own communities… Honestly when and If I see these Jews I would turn a blind eye because the SImoen and Levi would come out from inside of me and I would lose it.

Why is it okay for you to share your “Criticisms” about the article, but it’s not okay for R’ Kahanov to point out the irony and threat stemming from Jewish Anti- Semites???

Jews are gifted, creative and intelligent in general...

In my opinion, if it’s true, even in a case of a fashion designer, it’s not justified.

You forgot to mention the biggest anti-semite of all: Michael Bloomberg.

Except it was told about Rabbi S.Z. Hecht

Great Article

Its a great article highlighting some very unfortunate things, however I do have some criticisms, I rather not read about or even mention (especially in a negative way) these “anti semetic Jews”, I think it would be better if the article acknowledged the problem, then focused on Jews who were promoting is Israel and making Kiddush Hashem

Very Shocking!

Thank you for opening people’s eyes regarding this disturbing Syndrome. It is very painful to read about all those anti-Semitic Jews, but it needs to be exposed.

There is a level of Yeshus that can only be accessed by knowing that one is hated by oneself and everyone else. Paranoids at least care for themselves.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov, thank you for this incredible, and unfortunately relevant, article.

I sometimes hyperventilate when I speak to such Jews. I suppose that I have expectations, or hopes that they at least will support our small cause.

Please give a workshop at next year’s in regards to most appropriate way of dealing with this issue.

Have a good shabbos

Y’mach S’hmom across the board to all of these self haters. Thats the one common denominator.

I really enjoyed this one.This is got to be one of R’ Yosef Kahnov’s best pieces ever!
Thank you.

who cares?!

What difference does it make, if the story is true or not. the sad fact remains that the case in point is nebach too true! I see this ALL the time, even amongst frum people. If someone says he’s a melamed in a cheder, he’s looked at as a “shlimazel” who is not capable of anything else ((merely, the chinuch of shaping your childs life forever), but if someone says he’s a doctor or a lawyer he is looked at as a most accomplished person! Even worse, if someone is an actor (who in 99.9% cases are a bunch of… Read more »

Not true
December 24, 2010 2:27 pm

I heard from a close relative of his that it is not a true story. But that he liked the story because, let’s face it, it would probably be the response of such a Jew.
