it's been several
weeks since the book The
Oracle was
published and
marketed and pushed
by various kabar
institutions throughout the
country as much
as I
would not like not to have
said anything about it but it behooves
me to say a few
words not just
about the particular article in the book
that's very upsetting for
many but about a general
issue and I don't want this to be taken
as here goes Rabbi dolphin
again opening his mouth
sharing his
ey
venting my friends the book in front of
me the Reb's advice with the Reb's
picture this is our
guide for for sure
for for sure and for many others who are
not but respect the and his
advice we look here for the answers and
I don't mean here because I translated
and wrote this
book I
mean the the re thead the our leader who
gives the world so much as I've
discussed in my previous giml thas
preparation
Clips so getting to the
point in the Oracle they present an
article by Alan Professor Alan Nadler of
Drew University
Alan Nadler has publicly
embarrassed and said very discouraging
nasty things about the re I heard the
last few weeks from people who are not
so-called
hot
passionate but open-minded
people this was over the
top and mind you I'm not
attacking or accusing the editor the
publisher for this because I don't know
and I've asked him to share but he
hasn't who is responsible for the
actual decision of what which articles
go in which don't but numerous people
have called me about different issues
about some other articles with
complaints and
issues so at the end of the day like it
is with in my books at the end of the
day it falls on these shoulders whether
I said it or I just quoted or someone
else said it if it's in doin's book
Rabbi dolphin's book the buck stops here
and the buck stops there with uh the
author du Zak lovsky it's public
knowledge so I'm not revealing
anything uh at the end of the day he has
to take
responsibility why would he on Earth
allow an article from a I'm going to use
a harsh word a rebi
hater Alan
Nadler to be
published and why would
theim in Florida at their major
event in downtown Brooklyn in other
places why would they give them a
platform it's wrong there's no
excuse what can be done at least public
come out publicly and say we made a
mistake
the author should be brave enough to
write a letter to publicize it on the
internet to let everyone know that it's
wrong Rabbi steinel's a blessed memory
was accused by the B BR litf
Fox of of some her heretical remarks
made in his book Biblical images and
elsewhere and he wrote a letter and and
and the the the adus of Jerusalem
supported
him that he
was O okay to write what he wrote even
though they probably didn't read half of
what he wrote or most of what he wrote
nevertheless binel said he wrote a
letter and he publicized it anyone that
wants to give back the book I'll credit
them back the money Mr Zak kovski Rabbi
Zak kovski D Zak kovski are you willing
to say to everyone in public give me
back the book and I will give you back
your money that's the first thing I want
to know that's the first thing people
want to see if you are really
legit in the mistake you made you made a
big mistake own up to it be a big boy
you are a big boy laich
archives and that's the other question
how does leich how does a an
organization allow this to happen now I
know it wasn't published by K it wasn't
published by kabad but between you and I
you've used laich archives you've pushed
laich archives so you have a
responsibility to make a m to make a
protest it shouldn't be coming from Kim
doin who's Kim Doin It should come from
the organization the kabad laich
movement and I know that I'm going on
the line and people are going to have
what to say I don't care because there
Reb in this the re in his says the same
thing and by the way the same thing was
the book the rebi rabbi Alisha shakat
already came out against it at the time
but no one blinked an eye the author at
the time was the rabbi of a conservative
synagogue in Los Angeles where I lived
and actually frequented over there
putting on film with someone and
learning with
them and on the website the can is a
woman now whether it's this way today I
don't know but that's the way it was
when the book came out and of course the
excuse was well kabad didn't put it out
come on the organization was behind the
full-fledged pushing the book
and I'm convinced radov were alive he
would fire half of the staff of all of
the staff for doing that this is not
acceptable but that's the point the
other point I'm getting at everything's
acceptable
and I'm no sadic but I won't do it in
the name of laich in the name of
kabad okay when I published my book on
car and lately on Z oh boy the the
leaders how can you do that you know
what the rebba said about them trust me
Alan Nadler compared to these people is
Hunt is so much worse
terrible public Al humiliating the
rebba never did that Z never did
it the malim never did it not in the
sense of the the original Mal at
least
so this isn't about you versus me let's
let's get to the point a wrong was done
Chua is
possible I'm teaching now G cha teach us
that you can become favorable in
hashem's
eyes like you were in the beginning and
even greater it's not too late one
thing's for sure any or any group of
that publicizes and pushes this book has
a lot to answer to the Reb a lot to
answer to the rebba it really is not
right so I'm sharing this it hurts me I
know D it I love like him I respect his
work I really
do but this needs tick this needs
correction and it's not too late so
because it's before gimal tamas less
than a week away there's no question
that coming out with a public statement
that this was not right a mistake was
made we we we ask for forgiveness we'll
take back the book and pay back the
money and if there are losses so be it
we all lose money on on books okay
May Hashem help and I want to conclude
with something positive because you're
supposed to conclude with something good
and positive and holy we're in this all
together really whether we're
open-minded or close-minded or
narrow-minded or backward
sophisticated at the end of the day
we're all of the we're all the let us
unite
together find commonality find a way
that is
workable you know there were videos over
the years that I that I put on a few and
I got calls from certain people asking
me to take him down and I took him down
both from the right wing and the left
wing
okay if someone feels very strongly and
upset about something and they ask you
for a favor even though you feel your
right put yourself aside I've done it I
promise you I've done it I'm not
bragging I'm just telling you that I
could have just avoided them ignored
them it's not the way to go we need to
be civil men with with understanding and
if someone really is bothered and really
is Disturbed and and and it's coming
from a good side and a pure
side
concede
compromise Shalom the greatest thing is
Shalom is peace that will bring mashia
for sure May Hashem help that we only
live with Shalom and peace and honesty
and do chuva in the proper way and even
Alan
Nadler will do chuva even Alan Nadler
knows not only that the Reb is great but
kabad laich is special and Alan Nadler
with all of his creativity and all of
his genius and all of his
professionalism and Academia will come
to his senses and realize that there's
something greater than Alan nler and
that ises God Almighty in the T and if
you disagree with a certain she a
certain approach no problem Hashem gave
us the right to disagree but to
embarrass and to insult and to publicize
that in in a public form in writing and
speaking and podcasts and all of the
that is is not right so I personally ask
you Allan as a fellow Jew to please
consider a public apology and the Slate
will be cleaned and Life Will Go On and
um there'll be shom vva and we will see
the real mashiach Yim which we're all
waiting for you and I Alan and everyone
else is waiting for messiah not just
waiting but anticipating his arrival and
we will do things to bring him
now chabas and a good preparation for
giml 30th yard side
