I don't want to belabor this issue, but I can tell from a couple of emails that I received that it may need further clarification. For those unfamiliar with the teachings of Katz and Clorfene and who are reticent to accept the letter of the opposing rabbis at face value, an example of what is wrong with what I call the "Gospel of the Ger" is required.
I'm not the only one who sees common threads between this cult and one that preceded it by two thousand years. A righteous non-Jew coined the term Katzianity to describe "Ger Torah" (Katz's term). It started out with a Torah concept, but in order to appeal more and more to the masses and to gain a following, it went further and further afield from accepted Torah and halachah.
Unfortunately, to many minds, opposition is primarily what gives it legitimacy. Today, Katz is being portrayed as a Trump-like figure, outside the mainstream and under siege by the "liberals" who persecute what they can't control.
John Jack Pring: "This struggle is so similar to the liberals doing everything to discredit Trump with hate an (sic) lies. They are doing everything to bring Rabbi Katz and Chiam (sic) down with untruth. to destroy us Ger."
Chaim Clorfene: "There is an amazing similarity between the corruption of the men against Ger and the corruption of much of the governmental officials in the U.S. When the lower gates open, the upper gates also open. When the lower corruption becomes perceived, the higher corruption is also perceived. The number one priority of the rabbinic establishment has always (sic) to stay in power and rule, with little or no mandate from the Torah. Many of them are masters of deception."I hope the following clip will put doubts to rest - doubts regarding the accuracy of the charges brought against Katz and Clorfene. All I can say is, anyone who is not satisfied that they are deserving of condemnation after hearing this is not interested in the truth at all, but serves some other agenda.
