“Rabbi Gopstein’s views have no place within the Jewish tradition or in a democratic society … No Jew with even a passing acquaintance with Jewish history should ever call for the destruction of houses of worship, be they Christian, Muslim or Jewish. He should apologize for these appalling statements.”

“His inflammatory words and actions are the dictionary definition of a ‘hillul hashem,’ a desecration of God’s name … In the current climate, rather than seek to build bridges of peace and understanding, Rabbi Gopstein continues to incite not only against Christians and Muslims, but against all, including Jews, who do not share his radical and extremist views.” (A statement by Anti-Defemation League National Director Jonathan A. Greenblatt, 10/08/2015)
