			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Did you know that Solomon Shechter, the founder of the Jewish Theological <strong>Cemetery</strong>, believed in a people of Israel made up of all religious ideologies which he called “The <strong>Catholic</strong> Israel”? <em><strong>(Afar LePumey!).</strong> </em>Well, if that isn’t <strong>revealing</strong>, hey man, <strong>nothing is</strong>.</p>
<p>We know all too well what became of Shechter’s “Israel” &#8211; at his Rabbinic institution, which now ordains women “Rabbis” as well as gays and other <strong>lowlifes.</strong> (I heard one of their first gay graduates formed a congregation on the <strong>lower west side of Manhattan</strong> called “Gay Avek” with its own private cemetery named “Gay in Der Ert”).</p>
<p>Well enough of false and <strong>retarded</strong> definitions of the Jewish people. Now let us harkon to the poetic words of that great <strong>Authentic Jewish Historian,</strong> Rabbi Isaac HaLevi Rabinovitz ZATZAL (Author of the famous historical work “<em>Doros HaRishonim”</em>  and one of the founders of the <em>Agudas Yisroel</em> organization, <strong>friend and confidante</strong> of the Great Reb Chaim Brisker ZATZAL):</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Only G-D fearing Jews</strong> are members of the People of Israel. <strong>They alone and only they.</strong> Because G-D and the Torah and The People of Israel are <strong>one entity</strong>. Even if Heaven forbid, there would remain in the world only ten G-D fearing Jews, one small <em>Minyan</em>, <strong>that group, and that group alone is “Am Yisroel”</strong>. Even if they were isolated in some far-away wilderness, that is <strong>the Holy Dwelling place of Klal Yisroel!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>We plan to present more quotes from this <strong>great Authentic Rabbinical Authority</strong> in future, G-D willing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The Great <strong>Authentic</strong> Rabbi, The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chazon Ish</span>, writes in one of his most beautiful letters, that KITZONIUS (literally extremism, but this translation fails to do justice to the real meaning of the word) and “truth” (authenticity) are <strong>synonyms</strong>. We would like to add to that that they are also real signs of <strong>strength</strong>.</p>
<p>Tolerance is the <strong>hallmark</strong> of <strong>weak</strong> character. If someone is tolerant of wicked, anti-authentic Jewish ideology, he is a <strong>weakling</strong>. Such a person has not reached the level of intellectual <strong>maturity</strong> to take a <strong>stand</strong> on absolute truth. His <strong>fervor</strong> for authenticity is just look warm, and can only be <strong>pitied</strong> for.</p>
<p>The pluralist is the true <strong>weakling</strong> and in no way should be respected or admired.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The world is divided into two basic groups: “Authentics” and impostors. There is the “real thing”, that great truth, and then there is just everything else. Impostors bear some superficial similarities to the “real thing” but they are only skin deep. The <i>Authentic</i> is real and true all the way down, all across the board. The authentic and impostor occupy two distinct levels of existence, two separate realms of reality. One is true, clear and consistent. The other is fake, counterfeit and always disappointing. The authentic will always endure and outlive the impostor, even though it may suffer some temporary pitfalls. The impostor and the fake are doomed to failure while they may enjoy some timely and short attention.</p>
<p>An authentic artifact, like a stamp or coin, is cherished and protected. Its owner is proud of its possession.  A counterfeit is simply a cheap attempt to imitate the authentic by someone who is unable to achieve the later. Those who attempt to represent the fake as authentic, like counterfeiters, are prone to extreme punishment.</p>
<p>Torah (bound by the Halacha) Judaism is authentic Judaism. Torah Judaism is beautiful and fulfilling. Any other “type” of &#8220;Judaism&#8221; (such as Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, or “Modern” Orthodox or Zionism) are simply impostors just like Christianity and Islam.</p>
<p>We await the day when these and other forms of counterfeit Jewry will be exposed for what they really are, simply opium for the wandering Jewish conscience.</p>
