    I am a yid, not frum but proud none the less to be Jewish. I am shocked by your complete insensitivity and cowardice, justifying your hurtful words behind “gemara”. This certainly is not what is expected of you, a should be role model for us non frummies, you should be teaching us and exemplifying morality and love for your fellow Jew not condenming those who you feel are not Jewish enough…shame on you!!
