A little bit of hate-mail via Facebook to the Adventure Rabbi

Every once in a while, we like to post the type of vitriolic hatemail we receive here at the Adventure Rabbi Program. This was from an off-the-wall person from Israel:

    I wonder if you’re open to discussion
    As the Rabbis and scholars of our history have always been
    Or if you attack from behind a screen
    Hoping never to look into the eyes of those you accuse

    I wonder if you fear the God
    That you so bravely speak for
    Perhaps it is in your power to promise that Jews like me will suffer divine punishment
    If that’s true, should I spend Yom Kippor consecrating at your feet?

    I wonder what the Sabbath is that you refer to
    Do you rest from your fear for me?
    Or do you spend all seven days of our week certain –
    That I am doomed to hell

    I wonder what separates you from all of the other people who
    Have heard about what my faith is
    And assumed that they have the right
    To feel happy knowing I’ll be punished in hell for it

    I wonder if you’ve ever stood at the top of a mountain
    One that you reached by foot
    One that you poured your sweat and trust into
    As you climbed over its rocks?

    I wonder if you’ve ever slowed down to watch the journey of a bug
    As it climbs over huge boulders
    And quietly accepts its part of its earth
    Seeking all of the happiness it can find

    I wonder if you see yourself as completely separate from the Earth
    Or if you feel your connectedness to it
    I wonder if you pray as our first ancestors did
    With a pure heart and an appreciation for the glory God shares with us in his home that we live on

    I wonder if you’d be happy if you met me in heaven?
    Or if you’d spend your days of bliss feeling slighted that I was allowed in?
    I wonder if you make decisions about today
    Or only in fear of an afterlife.
