Yet another 'star rating' system

Do you remember the demonstration staged by Iranian students one week ago, on Monday, December 11, against President Mahmamoud Ahmadinejad?

  1. qui http://www.petitiononline.com/Neturei/petition.html si trova una petizione che chiede alle sinagoghe di pronunciare cherem (=scomunica, più o meno) contro i Neture Karta, quei signori che sono andati a omaggiare Ahmadinedjaad a Teheran.
    I promotori della petizione sono le principali organizzazioni ortodosse di New York.
    Fimate e fate firmare ai vostri amici (chi non ha un amico ebreo, oggigiorno ?)
    Grazie
