Since I can’t post a link,
check out on YouTube, the Video of the BBC Interview:
“Anat Hoffman, Rabbis Jeremy Gordon & Moshe Freedman debate Women of the Wall and who owns Judaism”
Feb 12, 2013 – 8 minutes long.
At 1:30, Anat – “We shouldn’t mix Normalcy and Orthodoxy. They both end with a “Y,” but they’re not the same concept.”
At 2:25, Anat, wearing a WoW Talit – “This is Normalcy.”
News flash! Orthodoxy, as defined by the Torah, and which has existed for the last 3,325 years since the Torah was given, and whose Mesora has been passed down through the Jewish generations and has been practiced by the Jews until today, is not normal.
Great. She’s going to define for the Orthodox, what is normal.
At 3:18, Interviewer – “So your aims are broader than simply what happens at the Western Wall.”
At 6:40, Anat – “We’re going to be there on the 25th of February for Purim. We’ll be reading Megila, the book of Esther, a book where a woman is the leader, a woman who wasn’t hesitant to speak out.”
The leader was a Femail? What happened to Mordechai?
Did he disappear?
Oh, I forgot. He was a man. Or was he a “myn” ?
Anyway, he wasn’t important.
