Question

does it make a difference if the "rav hamachshir" of hebrew national is known to be not that ethical.Than again who says it was so bad to be teaming up with the conservative and reform "rabbis" of Miami Beach to get control of the brand new mikvah was such a big deal(this goes back some ten years--he lost the bid anyway)? [I have heard from the RAV many times that the worst thing to do is give these reform and conservative guys recognition.] After all alot was at stake.Gaining control of the mikvah would have served as a perfect facility for his fraudulent conversions(costing between 10,000 and 25,000 dollars).If no one believes this, please try to explain why his converts never become religious to anybodies standard(they don't even bother eating hebrew national), and even more than that, their conversion is not even recognised by Israel. Having spent many years in Miami Beach I personally witnessed the war that was fought. R'Aaroni and R'Chaim Yehuda please ZEHEERUT. as always thanks for the best site in the world.

We didn't begin the process, and we have no knowledge of all these politics. I would certainly be interested in a private email with accurate details, so that I can look into it. Don't forget, if you talked to many naive Yeshiva boys about my father, their response would sound similar. Everything needs to be confirmed and verified. Thanks! AA PS Chaim's middle name is Yisrael. Yehuda is another brother. Unless you meant that, then I guess he'll be insulted why he didn't get the R' prefix....
