“…Causing the Multitude to Sin – This is Unforgivable.”
Who’s Who, According to the Rambam
Excerpts;
“The Rebbe’s answer must have come as a shock to his correspondent. In volume 18 of the collection of letters by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, is found a letter dated the tenth of MarCheshvan, 1958, in which the Rebbe expresses his disapproval that his correspondent has ceased associating with Jews whom he refers to as those who scoff at and rebuff the Torah. ”
“Known for his inclusion of all Jews in the mitzvah of Ahavas Yisroel, the commandment to love your fellow Jew, the Rebbe says that the Torah explicitly does not sanction separating yourself from such people, except for specifically defined cases. The Rebbe refers to the definitions by the Rambam in Hilchos Tshuva, perek Gimmel, Halachos Hes (8) and Yud (10).”

The Agony and Hurt of an Israeli Government’s Betrayal of Fellow Jews…
Another right on the mark article from Rachel Saperstein, formerly of Neve Dekalim;
Excerpts:
“There is a good deal of worry about our children. Children who once viewed our soldiers with reverence now see the soldier as an enemy who can readily throw them out of their homes. You can no longer trust a soldier, or a policeman, or a member of the Knesset, or a prime minister. Each engenders fear. One is left with a sense of helplessness.”
” … I am traumatized and my body shakes as I relive, every night, my expulsion by the Israeli army and the Israeli police.”
