I had no idea that it was going to be covering so many institutions. Nah is so right when he says that the loss of ethics and integrity within the community comes to the fore - my attitude is that on a much smaller scale we have always had instances of one Jew committing fraud against another, which has been tolerated - none of our religious leaders have really come out openly and voiced their disapproval. What will they do now??? This on the other hand is something quite extra-ordinary and I could write and write expressing my shame and anger. However, can I make one suggestion, that if and when this ever comes to court, that the entire jury and Court officials, is made up of Jews, or better still, and this certainly will not happen that Mr. Madoff be tried in Israel!

Otherwise we will reopen the darkest hours of our history : people will hate us, point their fingers at us and it will be another Shoah...
