These mechallelei shabbos are fighting for the control of the WJC so that they can brag at their treif cocktail parties who is a better Jew. L’chaim!
Flatbush Bubby,
Instead of talking about Lauder’s shortcomings,focus on the schools he has opened in Eastern Europe. We are talking about millions of dollars.
No one gives a hoot wabout the WJC. It accomplishes nothing for Yiddishkeit.
Monseyman: I think Flatbush Bubby still has a point: As long as it is clear that these people do not represent your typical “Jew in the street”, they can do whatever they want for world Jewry; this way, we avoid Chilul Hashem about any shortcomings in observance they people may have.

While its true…
Bronfman and Lauder both support many frum moisdas.
can anyone enlighten us on what exactly the WJC actually does?
cherry – It does nothing much.
