Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem Rabbi Shlomo Amar backs Rabbi Aryeh Stern who spoke against gender disorientation organizations.
"I was very sorry that they dared raise a hand to a great rabbi in Israel and reprove him with harsh words, for daring to say things written and interpreted in our holy Torah."
In a recording published on Kann 11 Rabbi Stern is heard opposing same-gender couples raising children as if they were a normative family. "
No one talks about the fact that children are raised here into a very strange and unnatural life, without a father or a mother, and it is very possible that the children are ultimately miserable," said Rabbi Stern.
Meretz Party Chairman MK Tamar Zandberg was furious:
"The gay community does not need reinforcement and help from an extreme rabbi, who certainly preached to his students against baseless hatred on Tisha b'Av, and returned to incitement at the end of the fast. He and his ilk can draw much frustration at the way the proud community has swept a whole country behind it, on the way to achieving full equality.”
Rabbi Pinchas Winston Shlit”a:
When a person realizes that they are essentially a spiritual being, they can choose a spiritual path in life. A soul implies God, and God means Objective Truth, making Torah morality an imperative and the only true path to human perfection.
If a person rejects the idea of a soul, or even just forgets that it is their essence, they tend towards material priorities. Eventually it can even lead to hedonism, as happened to Noach’s generation. This eventually resulted in their being washed away by the Great Flood.
This has been the central struggle of man throughout his existence, ever since leaving the Garden of Eden. All that has gone wrong in history has been the result of societies for whom satiation of their physical bodies was the main objective. It has driven them to do the most unGodly of acts, all in the name of bodily conquest.
Human nobility, on the other hand, has always been the result of people for whom spiritual growth was their main priority. They too have had the same bodily desires, but they were made secondary to their “need” to live spiritually refined.
SOME SYMPTOMS AND WARNING SIGNS
Definitions: Opposite – a person or thing that is totally different from or the reverse of someone or something else. Synonyms: reverse, converse, antithesis, contrary, inverse, obverse, antipode. Disorient – make (someone) lose their sense of direction; make (someone) feel confused.
Convoluted Judaic expressions, definitions, and explanations, i.e. in Shiurim by some Rabbis. One must be sure that s/he is listening and learning from a Torah true educated and respected Rabbi in the Frum community.
When perpetrator becomes victim; and society blames the one who was attacked; example, scantily dressed young woman who is attacked and abused by a male
illegal immigrant.
New Years Eve Sexual Assaults in Germany and women were told to cover up and maybe this would not provoke the males. Convoluted thinking.
Even governments exhibit this type of thinking, and began to believe they were the true victims, ie the new Polish law and in the minds of the Polish people. This contrary way of thinking became normalized in many areas of living. Converse thinking.

The Palestinians have been playing the VICTIM since 1948 throughout the world, gaining thru publicity the ignorant and anti–Semitic among peoples believing the Palestinians were victimized by the Israelis. This has mushroomed into BDS spearheaded by the Israeli leftists and American Progressive/Liberal/socialist/communist instigators. The Israeli contingent stems from the Erev Rav, who stem from the perverted ancient Egyptians that left Egypt with the Jewish Nation.
How many of the American companies that opened offices and factories in Israel, that have pledged financial backing of 60,000 NIS for the anti-natural homosexual lifestyle of their employees? Did these employees bring their
disoriented lifestyle to Israel? What percentage are actually Israeli born employees? Did they give preference to people of this persuasion? Were the hiring practices covertly attracting these people?
This infectious strain of oppositeness has invaded all areas of life on earth. Has anyone done any research on the animal species for unnatural behaviors? What if any effect can distortion or genetic anomalies be seen in the produce from the soil of Israel (fruits, vegetables, etc.) Fruits and vegetables that normally can be eaten without checking, now have to be checked for bugs. This means the soil is losing the specialness of Eretz Yisrael. Are animals cohabiting with species not their own? When Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, everything on top of the soil and even the top layers of the soil itself were demolished, because of the sins of the people (of which was homosexuality). This is no joke.
Perhaps the burning fields in the South of Israel were affected by this unnaturalness and so needed to be purified through fire? Why did a BOULDER fall from the Southern end of the Western Wall? Why are there earthquakes in Northern Israel?
THE 13 PRINCIPLES
FOR MODERN DAY DECADENCE:
1. The fact that humans have evil inclinations is the way G-d created them. It is giving in to that inclination that is a sin.
2. Sin is the basis of death in the world, the basis of falsehood. The Torah is the source of life in the world, the basis of truth.
3. As a nation and as individuals, we are commanded by the Almighty to choose truth and life.
4. Pride is a despicable trait. Pride about sinning is doubly despicable.
5. A private, personal sin is a serious misdeed. Sinning publicly is the desecration of G-d's Name.
6. Every person who belongs to the People of Israel has a spark of G-dliness within him, one that must be loved as you love yourself. That is why we pray that sinners will return in the daily Silent prayer with the Hashivenu (return us) blessing, and for the mentally ill among them in the Refaenu (heal us) blessing.
7. Anyone who acts against the Jewish people does not take part in that G-dly spark and the Minim (against heretic talebearers) blessing is directed at him.
That is why we must not confuse those who fall prey to their evil inclinations but are not proud of their failings with those who turns their sins into a progressive ideology aimed at uprooting the Jewish nation and changing its basic identity.
8. Each and every one of us must speak out against any ideology of death and falsehood and must reprimand evildoers.
9. The command to reprimand others is meant to be done publicly, but only if it is clear and has a chance of being listened to, not if it is expected to achieve results opposite to those intended. The command to reprimand is always in effect, but is mainly intended towards those who wish to serve G-d and need to be strengthened so as to stand firm against the present public contamination.
10. Engaging in same-sex relations, as opposed to those who desire them and resist the urge to engage in them, is equivalent to leading the opposite of the Torah way of life. In the Torah way of life the healthy sexual urge leads to building families, children and a better world. Those who engage in those acts are doing the opposite, wasting physical desire with no responsibility toward the future.
The Torah way of life increases the inner joy stemming from the partnership of a man and a woman, while those who lead alternative lifestyles indulge in fulfiling desires and momentary pleasure, as do other living things
11. Along with more light, come more shadows. Just a few miles from the parade of falsehood and contamination there were the lights of 52 siyums marking the end of studying Talmudic Tractates.
12. The truth will win our, falsehood will disappear. So the Torah promises, with the words "and Hashem will bring you back." That is what we see unfolding before us in our wonderful state.
13. Our psychological response to those who are proud of their alternative lifestyles must be based on the calming and sure knowledge that they will wither while the Torah blossoms. At the same time, we must make sure we are fully aware of the severity of this contamination. Not as a threat we are facing, but as a falsehood whose existence we must act to end so as to allow for the Divine Presence to dwell among us.
