The unfortunate use of Biblical quotations to prove the point of these social worker rabbis indicates that they do not understand. The Torah, the topic about which they were supposed experts has eluded them. The condemned spies of the Biblical narrative spread fear among the Jews on their way to Israel and made them incapable of engaging in the physical battle that needed to be fought. For that fear, the Jews needed to spend 40 years wandering about, continuing to live off God’s largess, rather than becoming independent citizens and masters of their own fate. They remained children who would not grow up and take responsibility for themselves. These blind leaders lack the courage to stand in opposition to people who can and do seek to hurt them. Rather, they stand naked before the doors of the crematoria still believing they are de-lousing showers. If they cannot lead, at least let them get out of the way.
