Just as our doctors betrayed us, so also many of our Rebba betrayed us. But not Rabbi Michoel Green, an upright brave man of good character and courageous integrity.

I believe that the optics early on in the “pandemic” in Brooklyn, where Hasidic children were attending school, actually playing outside, and where funerals and weddings were taking place, etc., the resultant vicious anti-Semitism seemed to push the rest of the Jewish leaders into a corner. They had to prove that they and their communities were not deserving of this thrashing out at Jews. They were falling over each other to distance themselves from those “bad” Jews. They had to prove they were not like those Jews who did not follow the rules. They were the good Jews who did what they were told. Gee, where did we witness this before? Just follow the rules and you will be okay. Just get this government issued paper and you will be saved. How did this work out for us before? All of the Jews should have stood up together with the Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn who were the real heroes (before their rabbis went over to the dark side) instead of casting them aside as if they were a disposable sacrifice to the gods to make the rest of us look good, a sacrifice to the fear of death sooner if we angered the gods of medical correctness. We threw aside the funny looking, odd ones who stick out with strange customs, all too quick to distance ourselves from them. Did we not learn that it doesn’t matter how much of a Jew you look like…the end result is the same? Rabbi Green was inspirational among all of this. He doesn’t know me, but he shone a light into my being and helped me to cope and stand firm to my values based on my knowledge of our history.
