Michael Lerner (rabbi)

"...Michael Lerner is an American rabbi, political activist, the editor of Tikkun, a progressive Jewish and interfaith magazine based in Berkeley, California, and the rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue of San Francisco.[1][2]

Student activism

While at Berkeley, Lerner became a leader in the Berkeley student movement and the Free Speech Movement, chair of the Free Student Union, and chair from 1966-1968 of the Berkeley chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society. After teaching philosophy of law at San Francisco State University, he took a job as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Washington and taught ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of literature and culture, and introduction to philosophy. Angry at the SDS group called Weatherman, which had introduced violence into the anti-war movement in response to police violence, Lerner created a new organization as an alternative, called the Seattle Liberation Front. After a major demonstration that his organization had called in protest turned violent, he and others were arrested for inciting a riot. The subsequent trial was the second nationally known federal trial against anti-war activists and became known as the Seattle Seven..."

Lerner is vermin.

Lerner is vermin.

Saint Paul was once, shall we say, determined in his defense of his faith. He wasn't vermin...he was an opportunity!

God still loves Lerner...and we (whether Jew or Gentile) are commanded to love our enemies.

Michael Lerner is the Jewish Rabbi that was banned by the organizers of the anti-war demonstrations in SF, prior to(or during)the Iraq war for being Jewish.
