You realize you are questioning the Rabbi who did the conversion, right? And every other conversion he's done for that matter. That's quite the accusation.

I met her and her husband. They came across as very down to earth, sincere individuals who care deeply about their religious practice.

Uh yeah that's exactly what he's doing. Now I'm not really agreeing with him as I know nothing about the matter nor do I care very much. But questioning the conversion of a Ramaz Rabbi is far from some crazy idea. From the many experiences I have with Ramaz I certainly wouldn't assume a conversion from them is necessarily kosher.
Btw, he merely stated he "had his doubts". He didn't exactly publish his doubts on the front page of the paper not did he say outright the conversion wasn't valid (which I have no reason to believe is the case). He simply stated he has doubts. That's it.

The best way I can describe the way she dresses is "provocative." Is this allowed?

I'm not going to analyze and critique her level of commitment to Jewish law any more that I would any other convert.

You want to know the facts? Her conversion was orthodox according to halacha. No, I do not recall the Rabbi's name.

I met her at slichos, (midnight prayers before Rosh Hashana) a couple years back and I wrote what my impressions were.

You don't see the difference between differing hashkafos and calling her a shiksa?

Thanks, no more from me on this.

Of course I do. That's why I said that while I have no reason to doubt her, zale apparently does, and he's entitled to have his doubts, just like you're entitled to doubt his doubts. Had the conversion been done through other, more accepted, channels I wouldn't agree with him at all. However, given that Ramaz, which is far left even for MO, was involved, I get where he's coming from. As I said, though, I don't know, nor do I really care to.

That's hilarious! I used the term buffoon, obviously referring to Trump - who this thread is about, and you so cleverly turned it on its head and made it seem like I was calling Obama a buffoon. Brilliant stuff!

Indeed it is! It's only surpassed by the brilliance of your sarcasm! Way to go!

How can someone that wants a R in the WH even give this guy the time of day? Does anyone believe he is helping the Republican party?

The D's just love this clown.

In a statement, Graham campaign manager Christian Ferry said: "Donald Trump continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander in chief. The two people most excited about Donald Trump's candidacy are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Because of Trump's bombastic and ridiculous campaign, we aren't talking about Obama's horrible deal with Iran or Hillary Clinton's plans to continue Obama's failed national security agenda."

Since Trump loves to quote the polls since he is ahead of the R's I wonder if he will acknowledge that he gets wasted head to head with Hillary?

That's never going to happen. He will be out of the race long before then. I'm not entirely sure Hillary will be the Democratic nominee either.

I was just pointing out how he loves to talk about the polls since he is ahead. I have yet to hear him mention the same poll that has him ahead says he has over a 60% negative rating.

I can't wait for the debate. Talk about a three ring circus.
