I guess Jews are stretching the meaning of being “Jewish” to satisfy their own personal agenda like more and more Catholics do today.

Lopatin, who famously gave Emanuel permission to take a conference call on Rosh Hashanah (something prohibited by the laws of the holiday)

hmm one of those rabbis.

The last response from the rabbi — wow, it sounds like he is saying that young Jews want policies that make sense and conservatism does not make sense to him!

Conservatism is far closer to the Torah than liberalism.

Rham and jew doesn’t seem to end well. Pure speculation on my part.

That godless p.o.s. Emanuel claims to have a rabbi on his leash?
Please...

no, read carefully. He said:

“can sort of show”

Hedging Rabbi is saying that Rahmy can “sort of show” that extreme liberal politics make sense for the younger, cooler Jews.

But Rabbi is still fairly clearly saying that conservatism makes no sense. Look, do not forget that this is the rabbi who gives his blessing when you need to make a conference call on Rosh Hashana for your boss, whose religion is black liberation theology.

oh he’s a liberal alright but results don’t matter to liberals. Only equality of outcomes. Liberals will say “ok we’re in a recession but we’re all in this together and we will all work together for the common good.” That’s what they feel makes sense and not the America of individuals working for their own self-interest.

I wonder if Rahm Emanuel is a self-hating Jew like Jonathan Leibowitz?

He is a hateful something. My guess would be random affects, IE your cone of hatred is attempted as well. :)

Puff piece for one of the most despicable unindicted (as yet) sociopaths in American public life.

A godless, baby-murdering Jew fits right in with godless, baby-murdering Catholics like Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Kennedy, etc.

“I think they will, and I think that even more significant is his work in the Clinton administration and his reputation as someone who wants to promote successful policies, policies that have broad-based support. I think it’ll assure people that the Obama administration, if anything, will have very pleasant surprises and no real nasty surprises.”

. . . like a billion of our taxpayer dollars to Hamas in Gaza. Now that’s got to have broad-based support with Jews. Pleasant vs. nasty suprises.

*Modern* orthodoxy: never heard of it before, but is it really far, far, left Reform Judaism with new packaging - like Pepsi with the new obama logo?

This is a total shill cover piece to distract from what the Obamanation about to drop on Israel and its survival.

I’m sure young Modern Orthodox Jews will just kvell at the $1 billion Hussein and his “Katsner” are promising to give Hamas to rebuild their arsenal of rockets....
