First of all Aguda and Satmar have nothing to do with each other. Secondly Jewish names is a trdemark of jews for thousands of years (shelo shinu es shimum) and that is one of our merits to be saved from Egypt. Third of all they only ask them to assure us of their judaism and they do not discriminate against them at all. In fact Orthodox Jews have given graciously to help the falashas. Now as far as the zorros if you are ashamed of your old fashioned looking brothers maybe you are the racist. Are only Kippa Srugahs acceptable for a head cover. Were the jews of the last hundred generations including all the greatest men who ever lived, srugies. Why can't you accept them as they are (even if you think they are wrong) ?? Do you want to stoop down to their level??? You are doing exactly what you claim they are doing. Koll haposel bmumo posel. Asher Schechter /* ---------- */
