Every group tries to set its boundaries, has to at some level if it is to survive in any recognizable form . Jews have but sometimes with such bad results that they’ve acquired a general aversion to doing it. A few years ago an orthodox Jewish rabbi in NYC couldn’t take the secular leftist Jews anymore and blurted out that he didn’t consider them believing Jews anymore While many agreed with the substance of his statement, a bunch of other traditional rabbis asked him to retract, refrain from it, in the interest of avoiding too much argumentation in the fold. This reflects a longstanding teaching that the homeland was lost largely due to too much dissention or “needless hate” in Jerusalem of old. Great effort is made today to avoid the equivalent of excommunications even where there’s no shortage of cause or reason or justification for it But basically many Jewish people and rabbis dispair of the type of “Jews” that support obama. They just don’t want to go public about it, right or wrong. Much like in Cstholicism regarding Nancy pelosi type abortionists and the Notre Dame/ Georgetown type of largely-apostate or pagan colleges that still somehow cling to Catholic “identities” And much like how bible- believing Protestant Christians view today’s PCUSA or preachers who promote or condone “gay marriage”. This general kind of “internal apostasy” or “foxes in sheeps clothing” is a problem facing Catholic, protestant, and jewish believers alike. I do not have an answer, regrettably. Just try to keep the faith —
A big difference is that the Jewish vote always goes democrat, the Catholic vote almost always goes democrat, and the Protestant vote never goes democrat.
