Hi Rabbi, my name is Joseph Rifkin. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I've posted our e-mail exchange below as a reminder. We corresponded approximately six weeks ago.
I first want to genuinely thank you for your website. I am an observant ba'al teshuva attorney that had no idea about any of these issues until recently.
Someone at work gave me a pamphlet published by you, a sample of some parts of the book Efes Biltecha Goaleinu with English translation side by side. I have a few questions on it.
I have looked at your rabbinical endorsement page and realize that chashuv Rabonim have lent their names to support some of your Torah publications. I respectfully ask what rabbinical authority is supporting and giving their haskoma to your site?
In this weeks Parsha, “Parshas Shlach" it is written that a righteous Jew may live in Eretz Yisroel. Is he permitted to defend it against those who wish to physically destroy it or must he rely on others?
With all my respect for your opinions, aren't you happy that jews around the world have a shelter today and that in case they are persecuted they have international zionism to defend them and israel to welcome them?
