I am very skeptical that it was a good idea to have two rallies, as most people will not be able to attend both. This will neccessarily take away some of the Russian-speakers from the bigger Jewish Community Rally and thereby reduce its significance in the eyes of the general media. Now, more than ever, we need to unite as a community of Jews, no matter what our birthplace may have been!
You, Shimon, as our representative in the Jewish Community must understand this like nobody else and as a strong leader should not have to hide behind either the organizing committee (as you did <a href="http://www.baraban.org/classifieds/read.php?f=14&i=177&t=141">here</a>) or the CEO of the Jewish Federation. I strongly believe that you should have made a personal stand and a tough decision to fold your rally into a larger one, even if it stands in the way of your personal goals and ambitions!
