After the letter of Reform leaders against the new government that will be sworn in on Thursday, a thousand Orthodox rabbis today (Monday) expressed support for the new Netanyahu government.
They condemned the plan of hundreds of reformist leaders to prevent cooperation with parts of the incoming government.
The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, led by Dobi Hennig of Wall Street New York, joined by the Rabbinical Union, which unites over a thousand Orthodox rabbis, published: "We condemn the hate speech published by fringe Jewish groups against the work of the new government of the State of Israel."

The letter also said: "With anti-Semitism on the rise around the world and the danger facing Jews everywhere, it is nothing less than shocking that a group of people, who present themselves to the world as Jewish leaders, are stirring up even more hatred and anti-Israel sentiment.
"It pains us that a group of 330 people who present themselves as rabbis from the Reform and Conservative movements and some of whom hold prominent positions in the major cities, have pledged to boycott officials in the incoming Israeli government."
The letter also stated: "The plans to prevent members of right-wing parties from hosting and speaking in Jewish communities and organizations, and participating in other forums throughout our communities, will advance the goals of our enemies around the world. Together with more than a thousand rabbis of the Orthodox Rabbinical Union, the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce calls for support for the Israeli government.

"Only three years after the agreements of the Arab countries with Israel, through the signing of the Abraham Accords, the American Jewish clergy have shamefully become those who condemn the Jewish state, who are fighting it for the heart and mind of American Jewry, a shame that clergy who are not recognized by the authentic Jewish faith , pretend to represent the interest of the Jewish world."
Dobi Anig, chairman of the Orthodox Chamber of Commerce in the USA, said: "The letter is against three hundred Reform rabbis, who say they are rabbis, but they are not rabbis and maybe they are not Jews at all, they are not of the Jewish race, who call themselves rabbis, they left Against the State of Israel to make a revolution here in the United States, to harm the Jews in the State of Israel both right and left, they called not to invite part of the new government, not to let them into Jewish areas or synagogues, and not to host them in the Jewish communities, really anti-Semitic.
"We in our organization work for Israel every day with the members of Congress and the members of the Senate. We fight for Israel, even against Arab countries, to build ties with the Land of Israel, to strengthen the love of Israel and to see how the Jews support the good things we do and they come and present themselves as Jews as if They are in the interest of the Jews, they make a mess for us, they spread anti-Semitism, they spread hatred of Israel, we now have a new job to be a firefighter to put out all the fires they make."
