The Zionist Federation has underwritten a tour of England for one Nathan Shaked, "Mr. Gay Israel" and "Mr. Gay International." (This is an even greater accomplishment than it appears: Nathan is a 37 year-old lawyer.) The ZF wanted to emphasize that Israel is a place of tolerance and diversity. All well and good, until of course they rubbed up against orthodox rabbis of England. David T at Harry's Place spins a nice little morality tale, complete with Biblical analogy:
Rabbi Barry Marcus, who holds the Israel brief in the Chief Rabbi’s cabinet, said the “absolutely repugnant” move is a case of “an organisation that should embrace everybody alienating a large section of the community”. He predicted, and said he favoured, a boycott by the religious community of the ZF.
Rabbi Marcus said that he does not object to gay individuals taking a role in communal life, but does oppose the use of mainstream communal organisations to present favourably a lifestyle which, he says, contravenes Jewish law.
The ZF “by association, has supported something that can not be justified [religiously] and, by giving it a platform, makes it look kosher and acceptable”.
He said: “I would not have anything to do with them, and would not be prepared to host another event of theirs or display their posters, and many of my colleagues will feel the same.
“The ZF has weakened any future plans it may have with the mainstream community. The US and Orthodox Jewry will not want to be seen as partners to anything they do.”
