Messages like this protect the jewish trademark. While the Rabbi speaks about principle, his statement sends a message that Jews do NOT stand for financial greed and deception. Such a message also deter jews from engaging in future madoff-like actions. Jews need to remain aware that they walk around with the jewish trademark, and the biggest danger to the trademark is to have anything they do be interpreted as falling into the stereotype. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
