this is DISGUSTING..it is totally disrespectful to Judaism. I kept waiting for the news reporter or the idiot who did this to say that it was for charity or something worthwhile, but it's just a selfish, maladjusted person wasting his money and blaspheming.
if he wants to spend his money on his dog, that's his decision, but to desecrate a very important ceremony and religious texts is just horrible.
Lisa, I'm not upset with you for posting. I'm just ashamed to acknowledge Dr. Best as a fellow Jew and human being.
