In his reply to Zamir, Rabbi Eliyahu wrote: “I heard your question, and the answer is clear and self-explanatory. It is forbidden to discriminate against any Jew in the matter of aliyot la’Torah due to his sexual orientation. (Of course we are not talking about people who actually engage in behaviors that the Torah forbids.) Anyone who is struggling with such an inclination and is trying to live a holy life is of course eligible to receive an aliyah without any reservation.”
The Torah also describes financial crimes as a to'evah. No one stands up in shul and says "Don't give him the next aliyah! He cheated me in business!"
ReplyDeleteAt least they have no pride marches...
ReplyDeleteThis teshuvah ws not allowing practicing ho-mo's to be given an aliyah, but only those struggling with tendencies. So a businessman struggling with tendencies to cheat is not the same as an actual fraudster.
ReplyDeleteJews with a pedophile sexual orientation are also eligible for an aliya.
ReplyDeleteIf they didn't act upon it
ReplyDeleteNo, they just put their names on the entrances to the shul social hall and school buildings.
ReplyDeleteExactly. And the same with those with a homosexual sexual orientation.
ReplyDeleteDo they announce that they cheated financially?
