In Support of Rabbi Joseph Dweck

I’m a Sephardic Jew I support my brothers.

Keep on refining the world Rav Dweck, hope to meet you one day soon....

I wish the local Rabbis would open their feeble mouths about a hundreth of how Much they did on this nonsense when it comes to important issues... but no chance

Rabbi Dwek is an honest and searching Rabbi. I have heard him speak at Limmud . He understands that we need to encounter the modern world with Jewish teachings .He has been hounded. I am ashamed of a Jewish community that does this.

I am not a member of the Sephardi community. So what! It is with sadness & pleasure that I endorse every word written on this petition, and send Rabbi Dweck my wishes of strength in the future, so that he is not dashed on the rocks of total humiliation ..............Rabbi, I've learned more @ Limmud from listening to your presentations than most other rabbonim. all my very best zai gezunt

We are strengthened and are given courage by your words of wisdom Rabbi Dweck. אלו ואלו דברי אלוקים חיים

Rabbi Dweck is a true talmid chacham and yarei shamayim, and the kind of rosh kehilla needed for our times.

We fully support Rabbi Dweck. We know him as a great scholar and teacher who is very passionate about All aspect of the Thorah . His comment are being used to go after him for no reasons other than jealousies . In his lifetime z'L Rav Ovadia more often than not sided with him on all halachic ruling . Bring to mind the Brooklyn Edict that was reaffirmed but with the insistance of R. Dweck that adopted children are accepted as Jews by us .

"Rabbi" Dwekc should not be called Rabbi. His teachings qualify him as Appicoros

A true Talmud chacham

As a regular attender at a small Ashkenazy Beit Hamedrash in Golders Green I could not be more strong in my approval of the courage of rabbi Dweck to deal with an issue which is a very serious social matter and needs a serious rabbinical approach.

Fully and unconditionally supporting Rabbi Dweck.

A witch hunt against a wonderful rabbi.

I am happy to support Rabbi Dweck and am only upset how his comments have been misunderstood and misconstrued. I am proud that he was brave enough to tackle the subject of homosexuality, where most Orthodox rabbis have been sweeping the subject under the carpet for far too long. Well done Rabbi Dweck.

Rabbi dweck echoed rabbi rappaports book. He makes the point that we are a people who live by the motto "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". What kind of people would we be if we could not find a way to welcome all Jews? How do we bring them back to HaShem if we cannot welcome them as trying to perform as many Moravia as they can? Should we also shun those adulterers in our midst? Those who are mechalelei shabbos? I stand firmly on the same page as Rabbi Dweck and heartily urge those who stand against him to stand down!

Rabbi Dweck's lecture was reasonable, logical and came from the heart. Everything he said is probably consistent with Halacha and our tradition as well as common sense and decency. The venom which has been directed at him personally is dangerous and offensive. If someone disagrees with his conclusions that is certainly reasonable but leave the poison rhetoric out of the discussion.

I have listened to many of Rabbi Dweck's shiurim, it is very clear he constantly strives for Emet. We should be one nation and it is truly a shame after thousands of years we are still far away from the ideal.

I support Rabbi Joseph Dweck.

Best wishes.

Integrity is key. Parshas Mishpotim says don't follow a posse to do evil -- these attacks are not l'fi halachah.
