L3: abc 36 news white voice of: ronald murray vice president, 14 first the foundation ### rabbi litvin: "both things are an attempt to intimidate our community."

White power fliers...and a phone call to the rabbi after he spoke out about the fliers message.

It says "blood and soil blood and soil...jews will not replace us...blacks will not replace us...mexicans will not replace us...we stand in defense of the white aryan men and women stand up."

Monica at the bottom of the flyers, you can see there's a number right here so i'm going to go ahead and give it a call and see if anybody picks up.

Hi, this is monica harkins with abc 36 news i was calling because this number is written on the bottom of a white power flyer.

Do i have the correct phone number.?

Yes" i continued the call with ronald murray the vice president of 14 first the foundation.

I asked him if he thought the fliers were hateful.

"murray: that is a byproduct of the abundance of love.

I am a firm believer that wants you to have an abundance of love for them for their culture, where they come from and be so devoted to making the service better, that it automatically appears as though his hatred towards others when it's not hatred.

It's a difference."

Rabbi litvin disagrees.

Rabbi: that this country currently belongs to people who are being replaced by jews, people of color, anything else is ridiculous.

" rabbi litvin countered by putting out fliers in the lexington-area with messages of validation and love....something murray says he heard about and called the rabbi...because the letters reportedly were put in mailboxes.

"murray: this shows where they think that they are in theture e above, everybody else, beyond reproach.

And they're not.

" murray told rabbi litvin he had jewish priviledge.

" i can easily say that my jewish privilege includes not knowing where all my great grandparents were born but knowing where they all died.

As the vast majority of my extended family was wiped out in the holocaust."

Rabbi litvin says instead of focusing on the negative he is refocusing on the positive...chabad of the bluegrass is preparing online education about judiasm that will be available to everyone.

Meanwhile, i asked murray if he's ever met a jewish person.

Murray: oh i've met several.

Monica: are are any of them, considered someone that you've had more than one conversation with?

I've had multiple conversations with many.

Monica:and it's your you haven't had an inkling of compassion or friendship for any of them.?

Murray: no" in lexington, monica harkins, abc
