My criticism IL levsll,d al tn. rabbi

that Tammsny Hall is all that II is pie
turcd and granted that the supporters of

these rabbls should know that the battles
Of Judaism are not fought in that way.
1T may be good policy to fight the
devil with his own weapons. AID others

a thief, hut rabbis ar" teachers Of Tn"
most sacred doctrine and th"s,. methods Of

What right have these rabbis to dag
the holy name OF their faith into a contest /
between men? There is 10 principle at

III the impcachmcn. revealed one thing.
IT WAS the scandals praci!scd ON both
sides The rabbi must sand for moral
ideas, must fight for eternal principles,
never for men and surely not FOR those

There are rabhiS who would suffer
