Yikes. Holier than thou-ness everywhere one looks.

"I and [fellow board member] Shlomi [Hayun] won't be there," he insisted, since "we won't lend a hand to the exclusion of a grieving father, whether he's a Reform rabbi or an Orthodox rabbi or a sewer cleaner. No one asked to be in this family."

sounds right to me. But what do I know... I'm just a fallen-away catholic fundamentalist secularist buddhist - or something.

So from the article we have one side being hateful concerning a certain statement about the raise of nazism being the fault of reform jews. And a reform jew being told he can't say a prayer as a rabbi, most likely because of this same hateful group.

So other then the obvious attempt at trolling that your initial statement is - what issue are you trying to bring forth other then the ballant obvious that some bigots still exist in the world.

It's sad, and unfortunate that fundamentalism of any stripe so often tends to counteract human decency, respect, and compassion.

Tsk tsk - that wasn't the comment that was the trolling statement. Try again.
