U.S. Synagogues Invite Grieving Jews to Sit Shiva Together After Trump Victory
Haaretz ^ | Nov 10, 2016 8:27 PM | Debra Nussbaum Cohen

There were tears at preschool drop off hours after Donald Trump was declared president-elect, but at Congregation Beth Elohim in Brooklyn they weren’t from the 3-year-olds. It was parents who cried, many of them overcome by grief and fear after Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to a man who throughout his campaign crudely expressed explicitly anti-Semitic, racist and sexist views.

“People were openly weeping,” said Douglas Schneider, an attorney and local political activist who was one of those who cried at the synagogue preschool while dropping off his young son. “This is a real gut punch. Not just because Donald Trump will be president. It’s also about what this says about who the United States is today.” …

So it is anti-semitic to not want Iran armed with nuclear weapons?

Trump’s already got Israel on the horn. He’s done more in 2 days that Zer0 did in 8 years (well, more POSITIVE that is).

...Turns out that of all the ultra-Orthodox leaders Trump could connect with, he picked an heir of the Ruzhiner, the Rebbe of Boyan, Rabbi Nachum Dov Brayer, an American Rebbe who made aliyah as a teenager and has been leading the Boyan movement since 1985. According to the website B’Hadrei Haredim, Donald Trump has been a heavy donor to the Ruzhin-Boyan Tiferet Israel yeshiva in Jerusalem.

The President Elect, whose daughter Yael (Ivanka) is possibly the most renowned convert to Orthodox Judaism in recent years—and visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s graveside on the Saturday night prior to the election, has maintained his own ties with the Boyanner Hasidim, including attending their events, donating to their appeals and buying up pages in their journals.

Hadrei Haredim on Wednesday cites a Boyan Hasid who said that it is clear Trump is “connected to the heart of the Jewish people and there’s no doubt he is one of the righteous among the gentiles who will bring only good things to the nation dwelling in Zion.”...

Israeli friends on Facebook were ripping this. Very offended because sitting shiva is a very particular religious act.

Trump is an anti-Semite?

As you all know, his daughter is Jewish.

Well, he will debunk all and they will still spew lies.

For the next 4 years.

I suppose I'm under-informed about some things, but seriously: Trump anti-Semitic? When was he even *allegedly* or *reportedly* or even *subliminally* antisemitic?

What'd he say? What'd he do?

Will some FReeper school me on this?

What did Trump say that was anti-Semitic? Since sexism has to do with discrimination based on gender, I don’t think Trump’s crude remarks about women and trading insults with his female adversaries were sexist, per se, just vulgar and boorish. Since Mexican illegals and unvetted Muslim “refugees” are not races, his negative comments about those groups were not exactly racist either.

Pay your kids 20 weeks on the books, put them on unemployment for 100 weeks plus pay off the books.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

Ok...I said it, now hate on me!

A shiva is a funeral service.

“For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.”—Romans 2

I think it comes from the Hebrew number 7 (sheva), since the shiva mourning period lasts for seven days.

Not rational behavior. Not at all. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
