This rabbi is full of shit. I’m Jewish and had a Jewish uncle who was a doctor. He never discriminated against anyone who needed help.
This nut is not a Jew. He’s a schmuck posing as a Jew.
We have some aholes like that. Beware of them!
Just work around them. Ovadia was always a pompous ass.
Any reading of Jewish teachings says to choose/save life all the time (and without regard to ethnicity or faith) This guy is either misquoted or full of sh!t. You see Jewish hospitals doctors and nurses treating and serving all comers 24/7. (Israel is very like USA in that the weird or nuts gets a lot of news coverage.) This guy definitely does not represent, or sdpeak for, any recognizable reading of Judeo-Christian moral teachings.
Years ago my sister was the token gentile in a very orthodox community. Someone there got into serious legal trouble when their child got sick on the sabbath, they wouldn’t use the phone to call for help, and the child died. As a result, my sister became the ‘go to’ person to make emergency calls, etc. on the sabbath.
We Christians have a few schmucks too. :)
Bump your post. I could not imagine my very much loved Jewish friends not extending a helping hand to me if I needed it... no matter the time or day. Bless and hugs for them all.
