&lt;div&gt;
Dear Pope Francis,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
On behalf of my coreligionists, I convey our heartfelt appreciation for your recent comments criticizing the Allies’ failure to bomb the railroad tracks leading to the concentration camps during the Holocaust.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Over three decades of addressing the March for Life in Washington, D.C., I have had occasion to defend distinguished prelates such as the late Cardinal John O’Connor who used the term “Holocaust” to refer to the horrific plague of abortion. I realize that the use of this term by Christians is not an attempt to downplay the uniquely evil savagery of lining up millions of naked grandparents, parents and children and machine gunning them into open pits, or marching them into gas chambers. Rather, it is a desperate attempt to reach for a terminology which conveys the unspeakable horror of the elimination of scores of millions of preborn babies, which G-d Himself calls murder in Genesis 9:6.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I wish to share a 2,000 year-old crucial teaching which places even the horror of mass murder, abortion, and the Holocaust in a different light:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
What can possibly be worse than the murder of an innocent? The Rabbis teach us that introducing a person into licentiousness and promiscuity is a greater spiritual transgression than murdering him! For murder only terminates “this worldly” life, while one who is introduced, encouraged or supported in promiscuous behavior is being eliminated “spiritually” in this world and the next! The misbehavior may well be passed down by the sinner to future generations, as well as to other associates. Thus one may posit that encouraging and codifying promiscuity is a “spiritual” Holocaust!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
For if he who saves an individual saves a world (i.e., potential progeny, etc.); one may argue that debauching an individual, and G-d forbid, a society, is spiritually akin to destroying many worlds.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Thus the Orthodox Jewish Community is very much in sync with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20030731_homosexual-unions_en.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;March 28, 2003 document &lt;/a&gt;authored/approved by your two direct predecessors.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
“Legal recognition of homosexual unions… (is) the approval of deviant behavior, with the consequence of making it a model in present day society.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The statement continues with a charge to defend traditional marriage — applying to all of society and in particular the Church —and to oppose same-gender unions (and certainly “marriage”), and even if such a law passes, to oppose it, as the document refers to this as a “duty to witness to the truth.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
We further salute the pontiff for his 2010 statement regarding proposed same gender marriage in Argentina as “destructive of the plan of G-d.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Esteemed pontiff, on behalf of billions of people worldwide who are horrified by the manifold negative ramifications of legalized same gender marriage or “unions” which not even the residents of Sodom had the Chutzpah/temerity to codify, we beseech you to vigorously, consistently and unequivocally echo your distinguished predecessors’ statements, theology and philosophy, both here while visiting America, and during the upcoming Synod and beyond it in Rome.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Only an equal and opposite reaction to immorality, expressed most especially by religious leaders and followers, can help us return to His values and avoid further catastrophe.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
With hope and respect,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Rabbi Yehuda Levin&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
Rabbi Yehuda Levin, a high-profile Orthodox Jewish rabbi and long-time defender of life and family spoke with LifeSiteNews prior to the release of Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk imprisoned for refusing to issue same-gender “marriage” licenses. &amp;nbsp;“On a theological basis, I am absolutely jealous of this woman, every minute she sits in prison to honor God’s name she obtains an immense heavenly reward,” said Rabbi Levin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Levin, a Brooklyn rabbi with a weekly radio show who is the official spokesman for the 850-member Rabbinical Alliance of America told LifeSiteNews that Davis has received “a personal email from a very distinguished head of a rabbinical court in New Jersey court on behalf of 1500 Orthodox jewish families.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
“Kim Davis,” he said, “is giving us, the entire country, another opportunity to make a reckoning of what is happening here.” What’s happening, he said is “homo-fascist bullying.” &amp;nbsp;He added, “This just has to be called out for what it is.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Rabbi Levin expressed his disappointment and concern in the millions of Americans who are silent at this crucial time when “we are already at the tipping point into the depths of Sodom.” Even Sodom, he added, “did not have the &amp;nbsp;temerity and the chutzpah (as we say in Jewish) to codify same gender marriage. … As bad as they were and they were -- destroyed because of sodomy -- they nevertheless never codified same gender ‘marriage.’”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
God sends us messages and we should be paying attention, Rabbi Levin said, calling attention to current events he sees as warnings from heaven:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The FBI tells us there are terrorist groups ready to act in America;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Planned Parenthood is busy almost in Nazi like way selling body parts;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the US economically is on the brink of crisis;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;there are numerous fires and floods.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
According to Rabbi Levin, Davis is an ambassador of God through her self-sacrifice and by her acts is trying to wake up the nation to oppose “the homo-fascist bullying in it’s ugliest form.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
“Those people could have gone to any number of clerks who would marry them,” however, he said, &quot;they want to crush any little resistance any packet of fealty and fidelity to God.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

all, the dirty secret they don’t tell us is that Romney supports homosexual
adoption and Boy Scout leaders, homosexualization of the military, “domestic
partnerships”/civil unions, homosexual K-12 mandated school curricula,
homosexual youth day proclaimations, $50 taxpayer funded abortion in
Massachussetts, and the list goes on. (Google Romney Deception and

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;mso-tab-count: 1;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Would
your grandparents have ever dreamed of voting for Romney, if they had been
aware of his atrocious pro-homosexual, pro-abortion record?&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So has G-d changed?&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Why aren’t you letting your followers
know the truth?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;mso-tab-count: 1;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Here’s
a traditional Jewish/Torah approach to the hurricane and the election:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
1-G-d multitasks.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;There are probably various reasons for the hurricane.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Each person should repent for his/her
personal shortcomings.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
2-Days after same gender marriage began in New York, we were
hit by Hurricane Irene.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Days
before the national election, (no significant repentance in NY or anywhere in
the US,) Hurricane Sandy hits, further damaging our fragile economy.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In 2 days:&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;An earthquake in California, an “almost” tsunami in Alaska,
Hawaii and Hurricane Sandy in the East.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Sleep on…&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
3-Daily, millions of Jews recite Psalms 147 &amp;amp; 148:
(147)”He who dispatches His utterance earthward; how swiftly His Commandment
runs! He who gives snow…scatters frost…hurls His ice…before His cold, who can
stand?...He blows His wind…the water flows…”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
(148) ‘He issued a decree, that will not change.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Praise G-d from the earth, sea giants
and all the watery depths.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Fire
&amp;amp; hail, snow &amp;amp; vapor, STORMY WIND FULFILLING HIS WORD!”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;mso-tab-count: 1;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;History
repeats itself.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;(Genesis 6:11-12)
The flood of Noah: And the earth was corrupted (liscentiousness) before G-d…And
G-d saw…all flesh had perverted its way on the earth.”&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Heterosexual excesses and homosexual
misbehavior and unions (and thievery) were the final causes of the Flood.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
BY ANGELA O’BRIEN&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tue Jun 05, 2012 15:21 ESTComments (22)Tags: Gay Marriage, Judaism, Yehuda Levin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WASHINGTON, June 5, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) — After leaders in the Conservative Jewish community voted to officially endorse gay marriage rituals, one leading Orthodox rabbi has said the move is “depraved” and “turning everything holy on its head.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last week, guidelines for performing same-sex “marriages” were voted on by the Jewish Conservatives’ highest legal body, the Rabbinical Assembly’s Committee on Jewish Law and Standards. The guidelines passed in a 13-0 vote, with one rabbi abstaining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rabbi Yehuda Levin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We acknowledge that these partnerships are distinct from those discussed in the Talmud as ’according to the law of Moses and Israel,’ but we celebrate them with the same sense of holiness and joy as that expressed in heterosexual marriages,” the approved document says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The approval by the Conservative branch of Judaism in the United States of gay unions follows on the prior support of the Reform and Reconstructionist branches.&lt;br /&gt;
But Rabbi Levin—an Orthodox Jewish leader who often functions as a spokesman for the Rabbinical Alliance of America and the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the U.S. and Canada—told LifeSiteNews that he is ashamed of the “depravity” and “total cravenness” of the vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision of the Rabbinical Assembly, Rabbi Levin said, reveals that “the ultra liberal Jewish crazies - who have long since abandoned any semblance of their great grand-fathers’ religion - pursue every political zeitgeist and have to run to get in front of the wagon as it hurtles down towards Sodom.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new guidelines allow for two kinds of gay wedding, as well as outline stipulations on homosexual divorce. To Rabbi Levin, the fact that any kind of gay union should be endorsed in the name of Judaism, in unconscionable. “Even pagans in ancient times realized how inappropriate same-gender marriage was,” he declared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Rabbinical Assembly’s website, homosexual rabbinical students helped to draft the new guidelines. “As treasured members of our community,” states the Rabbinical Assembly’s website, “they are most directly affected by the proposed new liturgy and we sought their guidance.” http://www.rabbinicalassembly.org/story/grappling-tradition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We normal religious people have to see from all this craziness,” said Rabbi Levin, “that He [God] is sending us a message to look at ‘them’—the liberal crazies—and redouble our spiritual efforts to do proactively, loudly, and clearly, just the opposite.” &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;While on the bench of the New York State Court of Appeals, and presiding as Chief Judge, Judith Kaye was a key decisor in the case of Levin vs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Yeshiva&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;University&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;which ultimately forced&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Albert&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Einstein&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Medical&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;School&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;to admit same gender couples into its marital dormitory.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Judge Kaye even went so far as to write her own concurring opinion in that case in which she expressed the idea that the maintenance of separate dormitories for married couples could, by itself, constitute “discrimination”(!!).&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;In my estimation, it constitutes a grave Chillul Hashem for a Jewish institution such as Touro which touts its Torah values, Rabbeim and Bais Medrash system, to select as commencement speaker, Judith Kaye, whose values and persona are antithetical to the basic Torah precepts of kedusha.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This trespass is all the more egregious when one factors in that the graduates and their families may be predominantly Orthodox. This should be all the more self evident at this late stage of the devolving culture.&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Educational institutions such as Touro who cater to Orthodox students are ethically bound to carefully discriminate as to who they permit to inspire their students.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Touro must be cognizant that many within and without of the Orthodox community will infer that the Torah community couldn’t care a whit about the issue of same gender marriage and all the attendant issues of this nefarious agenda (i.e. adoption, education, the military, etc.).&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;After all, this isn’t a politician to whom some will still mistakenly claim we “owe” something and thus we must countenance honoring them.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There must be hundreds of success stories in our community who could be appropriate commencement speakers; men who represent the finest of Torah Im Derech Eretz, and who would be appropriate role models.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Doesn’t Touro’s choice of Judith Kaye act as a non-verbal communication that she is somehow “kosher” as even a “partial” role model? To this I protest and declare: Chas V’shalom! In Yiddishkeit, we don’t bifurcate like this.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Half kosher is entirely “treif”!&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;(It may also be questioned as to why a Torah men’s Bais Medrash/College audience must be addressed from the podium by a woman b’chlal?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I’m not getting into the halacha aspect, I’m questioning why this is necessary.)&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;I don’t believe that the late Dr. Bernard Lander a”h would have taken such an insensitive and anti-Torah action.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If he did, he would surely have apologized to the Torah community.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I hope the current leadership of Touro will do the same.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As for me, my attitude towards Touro will certainly be: respect but suspect.&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;hr noshade=&quot;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: maroon; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;With the following words, the Brooklyn pro-life leader challenges &quot;Mr. President&quot; Clinton -- and fellow religious leaders as well&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;hr noshade=&quot;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Washington, DC (January 22, 1998)&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My grandfather was persecuted in Czarist Russia! My in-laws were in concentration camps! And here I am, a single Orthodox Jew allowed to speak to millions of pro-life Americans. God bless America!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;I’m here with five of my children. At any time now we’re expecting our ninth child, God willing. [cheers and applause] Thank you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Mr. President, as an Orthodox Jew I have the deepest respect for the Presidency. But from this podium, I told you that you would be held accountable. On the 25th anniversary of Roe versus Wade I remind you that it is not merely a coincidence that episodes of Watergate and tapes seem to be repeating themselves a quarter of a century later. It is not merely a coincidence that the Jones deposition and the latest intern scandal occured in the very shadows of the 25th anniversary of Roe versus Wade. God has demonstrated manifestly that immoral behavior leads to cheapening of life and cheapening of life leads to immoral behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Mr. President, the partial-birth abortion murder is nothing new. Pharaoh in Egypt in the book of Exodus ordered the Jewish midwives to partially deliver Jewish babies and if they were male to murder them. Pharaoh! -- I mean, Mr. President Clinton! The Jewish women rejected Pharaoh then and we won’t listen now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;President Clinton! Please inhale NOW and declare: I’ve been wrong on issues of life and morality! I’ve been wrong!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;President Clinton! President Clinton, for once lead the country in the direction of respect for life, for God ordained life and morality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;President Clinton! Moses said to Pharaoh, &quot;Let my people go!&quot; And we say to you today: Let our children grow! Let our children live!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Mr. President, my fellow American, these scandals afford you an opportunity to become one of the leading political figures of the American landscape. As surely as religious Americans have been forgiving and welcoming to Dr. Nathanson and Norma McCorvey and others who have turned around on issues of life and morality, America would welcome you Mr. President, if on this very day you were to pull together many of the religious leaders that are here today. Go in front of the microphones, Mr. President. Take responsibility for your personal actions, and your actions on the abortion issue, announcing you wish to dedicate your remaining term to lead a revival, a return to morality and life values. Overnight, Mr. President, you would gain the support of the overwhelming majority of Americans who thirst for moral and political leadership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;President Clinton, find the inner moral fortitude to take this step now for your country and for God Almighty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;To the religious leaders I say we are not entirely innocent of brazen politicians who promote anti-life immorality and still have access to our religious institutions: WE STILL HONOR THEM! We, so to speak, turn the other cheek, emboldening them to persist in their promotion of even sodomy and partial-birth abortion. Our president--the politicians--must be held accountable by us. Let us take an example from Cardinal O’Conner and Bishop Tindlan who prohibited pro-abortion politicians from addressing diocesan events. We must draw a line in the sand and act as religious LEADERS, not as diplomatic politicians, if we want the thirsty flock to be religious followers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Finally to our friends and allies in the political arena: A woman can’t be a little bit pregnant, and we can’t compromise a little by funding pro-partial-birth murder candidates. If it’s good for the party politics, that’s not enough. We must ask ourselves if GOD would compromise so that we could have more gains in Congress. Would&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;God&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;compromise?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;I dare say God would say leave the victory to me, just don’t compromise and do what’s right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;President and Mrs. Clinton! Come back to us today. We’ll leave the light on for you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;We’ll lift our horn of life, to welcome your return!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Thank you, and God bless!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

​For Immediate Release&lt;br /&gt;
​May 10, 2012&lt;br /&gt;
​Contact: Rabbi Yehuda Levin&lt;br /&gt;
​ &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 718-569-8438&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rabbi Levin Appeals to Dr. Jerry Fallwell Jr:&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t (You Can’t) Kosher the Political Godfather of Same Gender Marriage, The “Great Mittagator” Mitt Romney”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Issues “Alternative” Commencement Video Address&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v27k5cM7N4A&amp;amp;feature=youtu.be&lt;br /&gt;
Beware! Danger! Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing!&lt;br /&gt;
Q: Why does Romney think his latest flip flop/midnight “conversion”/pandering to the religious right to now “oppose” civil unions-“mittigates” a 15 year record of supporting the gamut of the radical homosexual agenda? &amp;nbsp;Does he take religious people for fools-“the Great Mittigator”?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Dr. Fallwell,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​Although we are not acquainted, I knew, visited and worked with your father. &amp;nbsp;In around 1987, he requested my approbation, which appears on the bookjacket of his prolife tome, “If I Should Die Before I Wake”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​Thus I am deeply saddened by your inviting the dangerous homosexualist Mitt Romney to address thousands of your deeply religious students at their most special graduation day. &amp;nbsp;Since it is on Sabbath, I can’t attend personally so I’ve prepared a video-an alternative Torah values commencement address-for you, your students and guests. &amp;nbsp;I hope you will honor the Torah values of my community, the work I did with your father over the years(i.e. we sat together in Alabama to support Ten Commandments Judge Roy Moore, for over 30 years I addressed the Annual March for Life, etc.) &amp;nbsp;and your father’s memory, by viewing this video and encouraging the graduates to see it (perhaps you can show it!) so they will be educated as to both Romney’s true pro-radical homosexual agenda/record as well as to understand our current moral situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​How shocking it is that in contrast to your great father, who founded the Moral Majority in ’79 and would have surely been on the side of the majority of Carolinians and courageous Colorado lawmakers who rejected even homosexual unions, you and many other conservative and religious leaders allow yourselves to be used by homosexualist Romney to gain access to the purest amongst our society; the Remnant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​Dr. Fallwell, before you, Dr. Land, Rev. Pat Roberston and too many others capitulated/surrendered and agreed to donate your names, your reputation and your millions of faithful followers to the Romney campaign, did you check the massresistance.com website or read the 600 page annotated book, The Romney Deception, by Amy Contrada, which catalogues one and a half decades of unceasing dedication by Mitt Romney to all aspects of the radical homosexual agenda?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​From his letter “pledge” to outdo Senator Ted Kennedy in his fealty to all things homosexual, to his Homosexual Youth Pride Proclamations, to his support of open homosexuals/homosexuality in the military and his support of de facto homosexual marriage(civil unions) (until today, May 9, when the Great “Mittigator” performs his latest flip flop!) &amp;nbsp;What about his forcing Catholic Charities to place children with homosexual couples, threatening clerks if they wouldn’t perform “marriages”, his supporting homosexual Scoutmasters and boosting the budget for homosexual bi- and transgendered school curricula beginning in Kindergarten. &amp;nbsp;Is Romney renouncing this whole list, or are all these things “kosher”? Do you give the “Mittigator” a pass?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​Governor Romney could have legally/constitutionally ignored the court’s powergrab and fought against the imposition of marriage but he kept his promise, consistently betrayed his own religion and is now on the precipice of duping your innocent graduates and many millions of the religious Remnant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​Dr. Jerry Fallwell founded the Moral Majority but now we are truly a leaderless Remnant – under onslaught by the moral Darwinists. We have in 3 decades morphed into a moral minority!&lt;br /&gt;
​&lt;br /&gt;
​Dr. Fallwell, you and the Evangelical leadership are now G-d’s men of the hour. &amp;nbsp;Will you disappoint Him and compromise on the severity of adultery? &amp;nbsp;Surely not! &amp;nbsp;So, why compromise on the radical homosexual agenda? &amp;nbsp;We are spiritually at the tipping point. &amp;nbsp;History will surely record your response!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;) I call upon you to preach purity to power on May 12. &amp;nbsp;Distribute a full record of Romney’s homosexual agenda including his boasting on Jan. 8, 2012, of appointing open homosexuals (meaning activists) to the Massachussetts Courts and his Cabinet and his pledge to continue to do so.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;) Speak up for specific G-dly values on May 12. &amp;nbsp;Reject the Romney agenda.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;) Go to Rabbilevin.com, let your students and followers see the unvarnished truth.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;) Christians and Jews were once thrown in the lion’s den, can we no longer sacrifice for Him. &amp;nbsp;Let us not compromise with the false concept of “the lesser of the two evils”.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​A wolf in sheep’s clothing who pacifies the Remnant and continues to promote even a ¾ evil agenda with no more loyal Conservative Republican opposition in Congress is more dangerous than Obama with a Congressional loyal opposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please do the right thing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
​For His Total Torah Values with NO ​compromise,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing great sadness that Dr. Jerry Fallwell, Jr. invited presidential candidate, radical homosexual agenda advancer, Mitt Romney to Liberty University&#39;s graduation ceremony, Rabbi Levin issued an &quot;alternative&quot; address. Outlining Romney&#39;s record as the  &quot;political godfather&quot; of same gender marriage. The Rabbi urges Fallwell, his students and the religious remnant to reject Romney and stand up for His eternal Torah family values!</description><link>http://www.rabbilevin.com/2012/05/rabbi-levins-alternative-commencement.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbi Levin)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068055445730415223.post-6865952489360704988</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 May 2012 06:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-05-03T02:01:44.407-04:00</atom:updated><title>To Gingrich /Santorum : Don&#39;t Betray Your Supporters/Religion/God by Endorsing Homosexualist</title><description>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/3VVIURhwHT8&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Rabbi Yehuda Levin urges Gingrich &amp; Santorum not to betray their millions of religious social conservatives as well as their many donors,but more importantly their religion &amp; their G-d by endorsing the political godfather of homosexual marriage, the dangerous homosexualist Gov.

Rabbi Yehuda Levin calls out Romney as a dangerous homosexualist whose record of 15 years shows an unceasing support for the entire homosexual agenda including domestic partnership which is defacto homosexual marriage. Levin calls Romney the political godfather of homosexual marriage ; who because he &#39;piously &quot; masquerades as a conservative 7 religious family man while constantly advancing the entire gamut of the radical anti-religious anti family agenda, is actually more dangerous than Obama and should be passed over at the ballot box !</description><link>http://www.rabbilevin.com/2012/05/to-homosexualist-romney-its-not-just.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbi Levin)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/IPZG0st1xgs/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068055445730415223.post-9193838068067844397</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-05-16T16:45:21.142-04:00</atom:updated><title>Rabbi Levin To The REMNANT:Defeat Homosexualist Romney</title><description>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/-GloFhK5qHs&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

Rabbi Levin urges theRemnant to reject Romney &amp;amp; let the 2 Houses of Congress act as a loyal opposition to Obama. Do not embrace Romney which means accepting his &amp;nbsp;support of everything on the homosexual agenda short of marriage.&lt;br /&gt;

New York City’s rally drew as many as 1,000 to Federal Hall on Wall Street. Cardinal Dolan’s letter to attendees noted the symbolism of the site. George Washington, described by the cardinal as one of the great defenders of religious liberty and whose statue dominates the steps, was inaugurated at Federal Hall in 1789. New York was the nation’s first capital.
Speakers included Alveda King, the late Martin Luther King’s niece, civil-rights activist and self-described “pro-life warrior”; Rabbi Yehudah Levin of the Rabbinical Alliance of America;

&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
March 23, 2012 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #336699; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;LifeSiteNews.com&lt;/a&gt;) - Rabbi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rabbilevin.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #336699; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Yehuda Levin&lt;/a&gt;, an Orthodox Jewish leader who often functions as a spokesman for the Rabbinical Alliance of America and the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the U.S. and Canada, is calling on Christian leaders to take a more active role in defending Israel from pro-abortion and homosexual activist ideology.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
In a recent interview with LifeSiteNews.com he spoke of “Christian Zionists” who support the state of Israel politically and even economically. Levin said that they are ignoring spiritual issues of great importance in what both Jews and Christians refer to as the Holy Land, including the mass murder of the unborn, as well as the “homosexualization” of Israeli culture.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“The Christians do not understand, the American Christian community of tens of millions, they don’t understand their power,” Levin told LSN. “When they tour Israel and they meet with government officials, when they are taken to holy sites, they should be clamoring and expressing in their leaders, the leaders of the Christians here in America, should be clamoring and speaking out against abortion, against the tens of thousands of abortions, against the homosexualization of the Holy Land, against all of this immoral craziness, and they could absolutely have an effect.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
Although a minority of more traditional Jews oppose these trends, said Levin, they are generally mistreated by a secularized majority, and are receiving little support from other religious groups who share their values.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“While there are tremendously devout people in Israel, Hasidic people, what is referred to as ultra- Orthodox, on the other end of the spectrum, among the irreligious Israelis, we see an eagerness, to embrace Madonna, to embrace Michael Jackson, to embrace all the craziness, and it saddens me that the Christian, so-called Christian Zionists, whether Catholic, or whether Evangelical, those who support Israel do not understand that they have a strength” while “we Orthodox that are treated literally like second-rate citizens in many areas in Israel, many areas of social life, we are frowned upon,” he said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“If the next time a Netanyahu comes and he is addressing a Christian audience, and the Pat Robertsons and others and the people, most of all the people, were to say: ‘how do you do this? How do you allow these abortions, homosexual parades, and teaching children from a homosexual curriculum? Is this the Holy Land today? We’re shocked, we’re ashamed!’&amp;nbsp; You know, I think this would have an effect. I think if enough religious leaders, politicians, and Christian tourists spoke out we would see positive changes in Israel.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
According to Levin,“we are in a civil war within the Catholic Church, within the Jewish religion,” and the two groups must support one another in their battles to preserve moral teachings.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cardinal Archbishop Timothy Dolan and New York’s homosexual “marriage” vote&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
While expressing his profound respect for New York City’s Cardinal Archbishop Timothy Dolan, Rabbi Levin said that he was “disappointed” with the lack of help from the prelate during the debate over homosexual “marriage” in New York state in 2010, as well as his silence on Israel’s moral problems during Dolan’s recent trip to the Holy Land.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“Archbishop Dolan, Cardinal Dolan, was in Israel, and he spent days there. Did he comment at all on the moral situation in any way?” asked Levin . “So here is the united Catholic conference of bishops, and I respect him, I respect him but does morality and respect for life, does that stop at the Catholic Church door, or is this something which Catholic teachings tell us is international and applies equally in every nation of the world, and certainly the nation that previous popes have called ‘older brother’ and ‘the tree from which we were grafted?’”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“Now of course it might be politically unpopular for him to say this, and it might rankle, but you know how many people would feel inspired, would feel motivated, would feel embarrassed that a foreign clergyman said such a thing?” he asked.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
Noting his three decades of work supporting Catholic pro-life activists and defending the pope and other clergy from unjust attacks, Levin said that he would like to see more reciprocity from Catholic and Christian prelates. However, he noted, “I’m an equal opportunity criticizer..My disappointment is with anybody: rabbis, cardinals, priests, common folk, we’re on this ship together.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
Levin expressed his gratitude to Vatican officials for intervening against permitting a homosexual march in Jerusalem in 2006.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“I’m happy to say that based on my appeal to the Vatican, the Vatican did speak out and did instruct, I think his name is Msgr. Franco, who is the papal representative, the nuncio…who spoke out strongly against the parade in Jerusalem, who actually testified in my presence in front of a Knesset subcommittee shortly after arriving in Israel, so this was great. And I look forward to continued interreligious participation in a concerted way as it applies to moral issues, worldwide but especially in the Holy Land….”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;An “absolute prohibition” against voting for anti-life and anti-family politicians needed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
Rabbi Levin urged Catholic clergy to join with Evangelical, Jewish, and even Muslim leaders, to institute an absolute prohibition against voting for those who support anti-life and anti-family agendas.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“Occasionally I go to the Vatican, and whenever I’m there I always tell these prelates that ultimately, we have to draw a line in the sand, and there has to be a teaching from the major religions that it is absolutely positively prohibited to vote for anyone who is supportive of any part of the abortion, homosexual, or anti-religous-liberty agendas,” he said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“Once that’s done, although it might to a certain extent thin out the pews, the remnant will be so empowered and so much stronger, and if the Catholics do this in tandem with the Southern Baptist convention in the United States and Orthodox Jews, there will be Muslims that will join, believe me this pushback is the equal and opposite reaction that we need at this late stage in the devolving culture with more and more states embracing homosexual marriage, with more attacks on religious liberty, we have only have a certain amount of years left to reverse this.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
He expressed admiration for Dr. Richard Land, President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), for his strong defiance of the Obama administration’s coercive contraceptive mandate, which will require religious institutions to fund contraception, including drugs that cause abortions, and urged Catholic leaders to coordinate more closely with Baptists.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“He said that Martin Luther King went to prison in Birmingham, and we are prepared to go to prison in Nashville,” noted Levin. “We never saw such strong talk from Dr. Land.” Levin added that “If tomorrow the Catholic bishops were to join with the Southern Baptist Convention, and Dr. Land were to talk about the fact that they are now contemplating this kind of a prohibition [against voting for anti-life and anti-family politicians], I promise you that politicians will take note. Will it change overnight? No. But believe me if they institute this and they take a few political scalps you won’t believe the amount of reversal we can still accomplish with God’s grace.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
Levin’s final point, which he regarded as the most important, was that ultimately, responsibility for the decaying morality of modern society lies with religious leaders, who have not acted with sufficient vigor to counteract such trends.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;
“Who is ultimately responsible?” he asked. “Ultimately the ones who are going to bear the responsibility for not issuing this stand and for not teaching the flock the absolute, without equivocation, uncompromising, black and white prohibition … on voting, supporting, honoring [anti-life and anti-family politicians]...are going to be the religious leaders.”&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbilevin.com/2012/03/leading-rabbi-pleads-with-christian.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWILGH0j1RBe2_0h1UBJjicaN4hrVDIoKHDWBUMG0uQdWOmWbxF38IgHIqWGHHnAhfwy6GGw_Oce4DmXnz9zYC7URs0D7IEgHNU1A1DCtYR3suA3RYR1iXtxTrfSXQnJMlIb7peLweqDY/s72-c/rabbiyehudalevin-240x162.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068055445730415223.post-8053105024378106223</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Mar 2012 07:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-24T23:37:14.360-04:00</atom:updated><title>Rabbi Levin featured in anti-Romney robocalls to hundreds of thousands</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;

Birmingham, AL&amp;nbsp;(MMD Newswire) March 12, 2012 -- To deny Mitt Romney any southern state victories, drive a stake into Newt Gingrich&#39;s candidacy, and test whether greater numbers of churchgoing African-American voters may walk away from President Obama over gay rights issues this fall, an ecumenical group of Jews and Christians which supports Rick Santorum is aiming religious robo-calls at registered voters from both parties in Tuesday&#39;s Alabama and Mississippi GOP Presidential primaries. Starting a week ago in Ohio, millions of such robo-calls and emails began hitting Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney on his gay rights record. The robo-message:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;Hi, my name is Brian Camenker; I&#39;m a Jew from Massachusetts.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;And, this is Darcy Brandon; I&#39;m a Christian from California. If you believe as we do that marriage and sexuality should only be between a man and a woman, please help us stop Mitt Romney.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;As Governor, Romney signed &#39;Gay Youth Pride Day&#39; proclamations, promoted homosexuality in our elementary schools, and unconstitutionally ordered state officials to make Massachusetts America&#39;s first same-sex marriage state. Romney supports open homosexuality in the military, the appointment of homosexual judges, and the ENDA law, making it illegal to fire a man who wears a dress and high heels to work, even if he&#39;s your kid&#39;s teacher. When you vote tomorrow, please vote for social sanity and Rick Santorum, NOT for homosexuality and Mitt Romney.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;Rick Santorum is the ONLY candidate who can be trusted to uphold traditional marriage, a straight military, and the rights of American children to have both a mother and a father. This message paid for by Jews and Christians Together.org and not authorized by any candidate. To get the facts before you vote, visit&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jewsandchristianstogether.org/&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Jews and Christians Together.org&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

That website, urging Alabama and Mississippi voters to &quot;get the shocking facts on Mitt Romney,&quot; links to a page called &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.massresistance.org/romney/email_030212.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The Romney Files&lt;/a&gt;&quot; . That page, identical to email content blasted to over a million Ohio residents a week ago, documents Romney&#39;s progressive record on gay issues, a record that matches up closely with Obama&#39;s and which may be problematic for both men among black, evangelical, Catholic and southern voters.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;The Romney Files&quot; , assembled by the Boston-based group&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://massresistance.org/romney/&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Mass Resistance&lt;/a&gt;, show a gubernatorial proclamation Romney signed declaring &quot;Gay Youth Pride Day&quot;; a video comparison of RomneyCare to ObamaCare, two similar approaches to socialized medicine; a Planned Parenthood&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://massresistance.org/romney/pp_survey_2002/index.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;questionnaire Romney signed&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in favor of publicly-subsidized abortion, abortion drugs and contraceptives; and a claim that &quot;Romney&#39;s wife Ann personally donated to Planned Parenthood.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;That page links to a video by Rabbi Yehuda Levin of Brooklyn, NY, director of the Rabbinical Alliance of America, a 70 year old organization of over 850&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rabbilevin.com/2012/01/850-rabbis-issue-plea-to-church-leaders.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Orthodox Jewish Rabbis&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the United States and Canada, serving approximately one half-million religious Jews, in which Rabbi Levin challenges Romney&#39;s pro-gay record. &quot;By all measuring sticks, Gov. Romney is not at all socially conservative... not Biblically conservative. I don&#39;t think his positions are in accord with his Mormon faith.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Rabbi Levin appeals to evangelicals, Catholics and church leaders to join Jewish leaders in spreading the word on Romney&#39;s &quot;atrocious homosexualist agenda.&quot; It also links to a more in-depth &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://massresistance.org/romney/&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Mitt Romney Report&lt;/a&gt;&quot; full of details that trouble GOP conservatives, and which may move Democratic voters, including traditionalist African-Americans, to cross over for Santorum in southern GOP primaries. Should Santorum face Obama next fall as the GOP nominee, both will be coveting those voters.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Brian Camenker, one of the robo-call voices, president of Mass Resistance and compiler of much of that Romney research, recently said, &quot;Mitt Romney would be the most liberal Republican ever nominated for the Presidency. Romney is so far left, he spoke against the right of the Boy Scouts to screen-out homosexuals. Mitt Romney proved during the January 8 Meet the Press debate that he&#39;s still as far left on the gay agenda as always. He proudly announced, &#39;a member of my cabinet was gay. I appointed people to the bench regardless of their sexual orientation.&#39;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/post/new-hampshire-debate-meet-the-press--facebook-debate-transcript/2012/01/08/gIQAqYMDjP_blog.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Asked when he last stood up and spoke out for increasing gay rights, Romney said &#39;Right now&lt;/a&gt;.&#39;&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Dr. Gary Cass, president of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.defendchristians.org/&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;DefendChristians.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and a member of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jewsandchristianstogether.org/&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Jews &amp;amp; Christians Together.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said, &quot;Santorum is the only viable alternative to Romney. All Jews and Christians are aware that the Bible, from the Jewish Books of Moses to the Christian Gospels to the epistles of Saint Paul, commands God&#39;s faithful to love the sinner but hate the sin, and indeed to recognize homosexuality as sin. Romney, on the other hand, endorses homosexuality as a good choice for young people.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Cass said that he supports Santorum, the former Pennsylvania Senator, because last year Santorum signed The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://motherjones.com/files/marriagevow.pdf&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Marriage Vow&lt;/a&gt;, a political pledge document from Iowa also embraced by Texas Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). That eventually earned Santorum a narrow victory in Iowa and the endorsement of conservative radio personality&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.drjamesdobson.org/about/James-Dobson&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Dr. James Dobson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and other evangelicals. Santorum, said Cass, &quot;courageously put his name to some very bold, very Judeo-Christian, and extremely politically-incorrect statements about marriage and sexuality.&quot; Santorum&#39;s pro-marriage vow:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
- Recognizes &quot;the overwhelming statistical evidence that married people enjoy better health, better sex, longer lives, greater financial stability, and that children raised by a mother and a father together experience better learning, less addiction, less legal trouble, and less extramarital pregnancy;&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
- Rejects &quot;anti-­scientific bias which holds, in complete absence of empirical proof, that non-­heterosexual inclinations are genetically determined, irresistible and akin to innate traits like race, gender and eye color;&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
· Rejects &quot;anti-­scientific bias which holds, against all empirical evidence, that homosexual behavior in particular, and sexual promiscuity in general, optimizes individual or public health;&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
- Contains a pledge of &quot;Personal fidelity to my spouse&quot; and &quot;Respect for the marital bonds of others&quot; which Gingrich, Cain, Romney and Ron Paul declined to sign, but which Bachmann and Perry joined Santorum in signing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #f1f1f1; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Cass, an ordained Presbyterian minister, said, &quot;Rick Santorum signed the Iowa vow last summer while Romney was calling for more gay hiring.&quot; Another link at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jewsandchristianstogether.org/&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Jews &amp;amp; Christians Together.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;connects to a voter guide from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://letsvoteamerica.com/images/FRCActionVoterGuide.pdf&quot; style=&quot;color: #00508e; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Family Research Council&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that shows Romney in support of ENDA, the proposed federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act &quot;that adds sexual orientation as a protected class.&quot; Camenker, the Jewish Romney opponent from Massachusetts, said ENDA &quot;would forbid the firing of transvestite elementary school teachers, open bisexuals, and other bad examples to America&#39;s young people.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbilevin.com/2012/03/rabbi-levin-featured-in-anti-romney.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068055445730415223.post-1758813819248667882</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-29T23:58:50.845-05:00</atom:updated><title>Rabbi Levin responds to Jewish Homosexual Activists Part 1</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Pinknews/~3/Vw2xSzMGtWA/&quot;&gt;New York rabbi: Homosexuals can be helped with chemicals&lt;/a&gt;: A controversial New York rabbi has reacted to an article by someone who attempted reparative therapy by arguing that homosexual urges/activities could be controlled with chemicals.

Brooklyn, NY - A pro-family Orthodox Jewish rabbi is concerned that a potential Republican vice-presidential candidate has appointed an open homosexual to his state’s supreme court.&lt;br /&gt;
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) has announced he will nominate Bruce Harris to one of the two openings on the state’s high court. But he has also told legislators that he would veto a proposed Senate bill legalizing same-sex “marriage” in the state. He is encouraging those who support such unions to let the New Jersey voters decide.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“Let’s put the question of same-sex marriage on the ballot this fall in the hands of the people, the time when the most people will be voting—the presidential election year,” he urged.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
But New York City Rabbi Yehuda Levin says something is wrong with Christie appointing the homosexual judge, then calling for the people to decide the issue.&lt;/div&gt;

“You’re either with us or against us; you can’t be halfway,” he contends. “And Christie is not a strong social conservative. He’s a social moderate, and this is unacceptable.”&lt;/div&gt;

Levin is also concerned that Christie, who is a supporter of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, has already been mentioned as a possible running mate for the former Massachusetts governor.&lt;/div&gt;

“This is Romney’s friend. He’s doing just like Romney—everything short of homosexual ‘marriage,’” the rabbi notes. “Romney has to be defeated at any cost, or we know what kind of Supreme Court nominees he will appoint and how that will impact on our country for decades to come.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Levin believes a Romney-Christie ticket would be focused on the economy, but he says no amount of financial tinkering can save a country that is morally bankrupt.&lt;br /&gt;
