Between him and G-d? When viewed by millions? You're kidding, right?

I also wondered whether the speech I read was said exactly that way at the bar mitzva.

I'm sorry but that is an assumption. Not all non-Jews jump right into bed on the first date or have such a base moral character that is insuniated with this statement. Sorry that this is a sore subject with me, as most of my family is non-Jewish. (I'm a BT) To say this is to say that "in the jewish world we are all rich and power hungry." or other such nonsense that is associated with being jewish.

I'm sorry if you took it as if I meant everybody. I didn't mean it this way. In fact, MatzosMama, I have many non jewish members in my family too as my mother herself is a convert. But the idea is not foreign - could you admit that? There are non-Jews (I didn't say all non-jews) that have one-night stands, and it is increasingly becoming more and more common for non-jews to have an increased number of s-xual partners. There are many non-jews in the world that have a strong moral fiber as well. My point was that the general non-jewish population touches casually. They wouldn't blink an eye at a handshake or hug - they would even expect it. And if you watch any tv, you'll see that the non-jewish world has no problem and in fact seems to welcome and exploit the open s-xuality that exists in our times. Again I apologize if you took it personally - I do not assume every non-jew does it.

There are teenage girls who are prepared to be intimate with boys in the false belief that if they deliver their bodies the boys will offer up their hearts

Just what a Bar Mitzvah boy needs to hear Rolling Eyes
Plus why blame it like that on the girls..... the boys are angels Exploding anger Exploding anger

Anyways as long as a person in his stand does things publicly then we too have a right to defend our Torah hashkafas publicly !

I caught a few minutes of his show inbetween the Apprentice, so far, all he's done is shake hands, which many of us know is a common heter given out to people.

He also seems to give out good advice.

I saw bits of it.. He does hug the women sometimes.

While the woman was covered, he was in the same room as the woman naked under a sheet (awaiting for her husband to massage her). Not always appropriate..

I did enjoy the episode where he worked witha family an took them on an outdoor course...that was quite cute..

Pardon my abysmal ignorance but why would a husband be massaging his naked wife in the presence of another man and on TV? Confused

And what about his kids with them knowing what there father endorses....

I agree with the others -- this is a breach of shmiras halashon and confidentiality. Shame on you to post this.

Do you think it somehow makes your point better touse the shocked smilie and rolleyes?
Asking seriously, because I just don't get it. I mean, if you were talking person to person, how do you think you would come across with all those extreme facial expressions?

When you put in emoticons you are expressing yourself more. I don't see anything wrong with it though. I actually like it. When I am shocked to hear something in real life yes you will see my eyes bulging out.
