No it's not Bill. He's an ignorant prick who hates Jews and looks for ways to
demonize them for profit.
His whole idea here is wrong. He doesn't understand what he is saying. His
presentation is superficial and he has concocted this silly conspiracy to hook
his audience of Christian bigots who will gladly pay for his " materials."
I don't want to explain the details of what the Kol Nidre is saying. But
you people must understand that Jews have lived in foreign countries for a
long time. The primary directive of Jewish law is to comply with the laws
of the host country UNLESS THOSE LAWS FORCE CONVERSION OR MURDER. Looking for
phrases in the vastness of the literature to prove anything can be easily
done when taken out of context. The case he makes for Kol Nidre's negation of
oaths was taken out of context and actually means the opposite of what Hoffman
says it means.
Because Hoffman is an idiot with a truly ignorant audience, he can tell them
any kind of nonsense and they are happy to believe it. That he claims to have
" unearthed " the Kol Nidre is so absurd that it's quite funny. It's like
saying Columbus discovered a land where people came out to greet him. It's like
discovering the name Jesus in a Christian hymnal.
