Re: Stop Jerusalem Gay Pride Demonstration
Date: November 5, 2006
Dear Community Members,
Few issues have upset and disturbed so many of our people as the plans for a demonstration & parade for gay pride in Jerusalem this coming Tuesday.
This planned march in the holiest of holy cities, Jerusalem, is an outrage and travesty, which desecrates and shames the Jewish people, the Nation of Israel, its government officials, and its history.
These devious plans, and the unwisely granted permits to carry them out by the Jerusalem city officials, constitutes a previously unparalleled glorification of sin in the city that is considered Hashem's living room.
All of us need to be deeply concerned about the inevitable and untold future consequences of this mockery and provocation, and stand in unity with the 250,000 Orthodox religious residents of Jerusalem in demanding a complete and immediate retraction, revocation, and cancellation of the licenses and permits that the demonstrators have been issued.
Please join our effort to petition 39 local Jerusalem City Officials and the Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert, and other key government figures, in an urgent and immediate demand to end this abomination and atrocity before it starts.
Time is of the essence, please sign the petition immediately at www.SyMall.com/NO
Thank you for your continued confidence, loyalty, and support in helping to preserve safety and decency in our lives and our children's lives.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
