Larry David expresses his religion by peeing on a picture of Jesus.
A nebbish was driving down a street under the scorching sun. He had an important meeting and when he reached the building where the meeting was going to be held, he discovered that there was no vacant space to park his car.
Desperate and confused, he looked up and said, “God, take pity on me and find me a parking place. If you do so, I will visit the synagog daily, donate half of my this month’s salary and give up alcohol for the rest of my life.”
Miraculously, an empty parking place appeared out of nowhere in front of the him. The nebbish pleased by the discovery, looked up and said, “Nevermind, I found one myself!”
A couple of famous Jewish athletes have been outspoken in their own way....they have refused to compete either on the Jewish Sabbath or on important Jewish holidays.

Wow, I’d like to know their names.
The Jewish gold medal sprinter Harold Abrahams had NO HESITATION running on a Sabbath (He eventually converted to Christianity though). Ironically, it was a SCOTISH, Eric Lidell, who would not run on a Sunday.
These self-hating Jewish leftists are ashamed to be Jewish, that’s why. Half my family is Jewish and unfortunately pretty liberal. They despise religious, observant Jews.
Deep down, they are ashamed at their Jewishness and when they see a Jew openly being observant or doing a Tebow type act they feel ashamed and think it will make ‘the goyim’ mad and they won’t be allowed in the country club anymore.
It has nothing to do with prostelytizing. It has everything to do with the leftist Jewish neuroticism. There’s a big schism in Israel between leftist seculars and religious Jews now. The seculars hate the religious Jews more than the arabs.
Sandy Kofax is one.
Apparently, Sandy Koufax didn’t pitch the opening World Series game on Yom Kippur, but that’s all I’m aware of.
Didn’t realize Koufax was still alive.
>Half my family is Jewish and unfortunately pretty liberal. They despise religious, observant Jews.<
Here in L.A., I have yet to meet a Jew who is NOT a lib moron. They keep praising Israel yet a loony member of the same political party which wants to cut it into even smaller pieces.
Why do you call that Rabbi a pig?
I can’t recall Sandy Koufax, when asked by reporters a routine baseball question after a baseball game, automatically answering by rote “I’d like to thank Adonai, for ...””

RE: Shawn Green
I know that like Sandy Koufax, he refused to play games on Yom Kippur, but the same question applies as to Sandy Koufax — I can’t recall them, when asked by reporters a routine baseball question after a baseball game, automatically answering by rote “I’d like to thank Adonai, for ...””
Jesus cured 10 lepers, but only one gave thanks. Maybe, Tim Tebow is trying to teach us something. We should be thanking Him (Jesus) every day for His love and mercy.
I once told a Jewish friend that he may not believe in Jesus, but we both have the same Father. I pray that one day they will understand that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Without their persecution of Him, scriptures would not be fulfilled. But God is making a way for those that believe and trust.
RE: Jesus cured 10 lepers, but only one gave thanks.
Yes, and if I recall correctly he was a SAMARITAN.
I’m praying for Larry David, whether he likes it or not. ;-)
Luke Chapter 17 states that Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. I don’t know if the ten were Samaritans or not. It mattered only that they believed in His healing power.
I am not rejecting Judaism. As I said before, I consider Jews as my brothers and sisters. God is our Father.
But, please read the Book of Acts. There, you will find one man that served God to his last dying breath.
His name was Saul, who was a learned member of the Sanhedrin. Saul persecuted Christians until the Spirit of Christ confronted him on his way to Damascus.
From that moment on, he spent the rest of his life as a believer in Christ. He was still serving as God had chosen him to do. Many did not trust him, neither his Jewish brethren, nor some Christians, because of his prior mission for the Sanhedrin. Still, his entire trust was in God.
I am not trying to argue, nor persuade. I am only opening my heart and sharing my feelings.
Thank you for this post.
Next time Jewish people are being harassed and demeaned in public by Christian ministers, football fans and reporters;), I am sure the author of this will run to Christian church leaders to have them explain what is wrong with Jews. NOT.
Why do American Jews permit themselves to be dragged into such divide and conquer rudeness staged against Christians? They would have a fit if the shoe was on the other foot. I would toss a fit if they were doing all this hate at “out of the closet” Jews.
To be fair, Jews are not in the closet about Judism. They should and do advocate for and stick up for the Jewish State of Israel. So the Rabbis who critize Christians should dismount their intolerant high horses and stop playing the part of the never ending Jesus hater for the media circus.
