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

[2ndDivisionVet]

Ping!

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.

[northislander]

just watched the CBS interview with him...at least he does not appear to believe his BS.

[Yaelle]

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.

[allmost]

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

[Lancey Howard]

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

[sheik yerbouty]

Feh!(A word my grandmother used to convey complete and utter disgust)

[FormerACLUmember]

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

[Arthur McGowan]

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?

[rod1]

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

[Carley]

If only we could isolate ourselves from the world of Obama.

[PVT4evr]

There is no “Modern Orthodox” Judaism, or any other type. There is Torah Judaism, and every thing else.

[2harddrive]

This is off-topic, BUT: What’s this about a guy named Farrakhan being Obama’s REAL dad, and THAT’S why he keeps the birth certificate under SEAL? Can anyone here elaborate and give more details?

[a fool in paradise]

Modern Orthodoxy believes that there are a lot of benefits to engaging the contemporary world outside of Judaism. It encourages engagement--and even struggling--with the parts of the outside world that seem strange. Whereas, I think I should say that more traditional, or maybe ultra-Orthodoxy, really has a negative attitude towards the outside world and basically feels that the more you can isolate yourself from the outside world, the better.

The material world should not be your focus. The world of hedonism is a false path.

But celebrate sin in the name of votes if you think you can live with yourself.

Rahm is a putz and a nebbish.

[TexasRepublic]

I don’t care what his race or religion is, he is a Communist tool.

[rmlew]

It seems like there are some Modern Orthodox Jews who mistake the Democrat Platform for the Talmud and read the Torah through this lens.

[RichInOC]

I’m not saying that Rahm is a [male appendage]. I’m saying that when he was born, the rabbi didn’t circumcise him, he scalped him.
