I'm not being sacrilegious; I mean this admonition literally and reverentially.

I know both individuals personally, Mel and Christ – and my friend Mel is no anti-Semite. He worships and magnifies the most famous Jew who ever lived, Jesus of Nazareth, whom millions and millions call ''Christ,'' or Messiah.

So do I.

We've both committed our lives and eternal destiny to this rebbe (rabbi), this central figure of human history, the One from whose earthly life our calendar has been constructed. This year is 2006, A.D. – anno domini, ''the Year of Our Lord.'' The Year of the Jew who with his disciples, also orthodox Jews, forever changed and shaped religion, culture, philosophy, art – and a little thing called democracy.

He himself said, ''I did not come to destroy the Law (the Law of Moses), but to fulfill it.'' And from the first century (as the world describes it) till this minute, wherever JUDEO-Christian principles have been dominant, that nation or society has tended to prosper in every conceivable way. Compare those nations to any and all others, and you must concede that truth.

And it's for His sake, and in His name, I urge, ''Get off Mel's back! He's admitted his grievous mistake, apologized in the most humble and earnest way, and has gone into alcohol rehab! For Christ's sake, forgive him and leave him alone!''
