Neutrality of introduction

[edit]

In the introduction, I noticed the following sentence:

"He often escorts visiting heads of state and foreign dignitaries during their visit to the Wall, and has been an outspoken defender of Torah values at the Jewish people's holiest site.[neutrality is disputed]"

The way this sentence is written expresses a distinctly Orthodox point of view, i.e. Rabinovitch, an Orthodox Rabbi, is defending "Torah values" by following a strictly Orthodox interpretation of Jewish law. This does not acknowledge that Conservative, Reform, or even secular Jews can embrace "Torah"-based values--without subscribing to Orthodox jurisprudence, theology, or just the way they see things.Zhujiangshuiguai (talk) 11:43, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
