Article on JONAH

Dear Mr. Kort,

I am totally dumbfounded about your discussion of JONAH's website. Did you actually read the site? There are no books recommended to readers on the website.

What is even more puzzling however is why you chose go into an ad hominem attack accusing JONAH of being a Christian front rather than seriously addressing the difference in philosophy as to the question of changing same-sex attractions. Numerous well respected Orthodox Rabbis and organization have examined JONAH's practices and approaches and without reservation have provided "haskamas" (approvals). What is your background in understanding of the tenents of the Jewish faith?
