      How should he know that? He doesn’t believe in the Torah, and he knows nothing about history; all he knows is that Israel is an ally of America, so it must be evil.

      Don’t speak on stuff you don’t know. As always you can’t stop assuming and you are very judgmental.

      What are you talking about, A? To whom was that even addressed? If you can’t make yourself understood why should anyone bother to pay you any attention?

      I was vague with that statement for a reason and it work. The person I touched a nerve was not oy it was you. Well done. Congrats.

    as our soldiers lay dying I am not impressed by this photo.Right now there is so much terror going on against E.Y that the last thing I want to see is tefillin on this moron. Why do this to tefillin.Not the time.

      The Rebbe gave us a mission. All you need to ask is whether he would approve of neglecting a chance to get this person (who is nicknamed with the name “Yisroel”) to do a mitzvah? Do you think the Rebbe would approve of leaving a karkafta delo monach tefilin just because he’s so far from his roots that he fights against us? The bottom line is that he’s doing a mitzvah, which helps Am Yisroel, whether he likes that or not.

      since when does one’s political views change the reality that when one puts on tefillin he adds in hashem’s protection to the jewish people?
      everybody, regardless of his actions or political views is obligated to put on tefillin!

    POLITICAL VIEW?????when u see a so-called Jew go against his own people while your fellow jews are dying, you refer to this simply as a political view?????Boy you really don’t seem to get the bigger picture here.You think anyone really wants to see this despicable excuse for a jew with that poster???

      call it what you want. it doesn’t matter what his views on anything are period! even somebody who actually murdured with his hands is obligated in tefillin and When a jew puts on tefillin he’s helping his fellow jews security no matter what his intentions are whoever he may be -that’s the reality. YOU DON’T SEEM TO GET THE BIGGER PICTURE THAT WHEN A JEW A PUTS ON TEFILLIN HE’S HELPING ALL JEWS DESPITE YOUR UNTRUE PERSONAL FEELINGS.
      on the other hand if your issue is just with the pic being posted, that i can understand. but you clearly said why do this to tefillin implying that this man shouldn’t put tefillin which is directly against g-d’s clear will in Torah that all men should put on tefillin!

      Furthermore, even if the mitzvah didn’t help the whole Am Yisroel (which it does), it would still be a mitzvah, and we would still have to do it just for its own sake.

      This person, assuming that his claim to be Jewish is true, has a holy neshomo which is a chelek E—h mimaal mamosh, which he is dragging with him into his anti-Jewish protest, and that neshomo wants to put on tefillin. We have to love that neshomo, and feel sorry for it, and help it just for its own sake, besides any benefit that we will receieve from doing so .
