On Saturday, Apostle Wayne T. Jackson of Great Faith Ministries, a black church in Detroit, wrapped Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in a Jewish tallit, or prayer shawl, brought straight from the Holy Land of Israel for the purpose.
If there were ever an image that could confound the false caricature of Trump as a neo-KKK antisemitic demagogue, that would be it.
Which is precisely why Trump’s die-hard detractors are seething.
The Times of Israel, covering the reaction on social media presented “both sides” of the issue: “…[W]hile some mocked the image of a Protestant presidential candidate receiving a Jewish tallit from a Christian pastor, others saw the incident as pandering to both Jewish and African-American voters.”

And for all the “alt-right” phantoms that NeverTrump and the Clinton campaign have conjured, the left-wing tyranny of political correctness is a real and concrete thing, closely aligned with the anti-Israel fanatics who are bringing elite antisemitism back into vogue on American campuses and elsewhere.
Notably, Trump’s poll numbers have improved as the Clinton campaign has escalated its Trump-as-Hitler-KKK attack.
Perhaps there are enough Americans who are sick of the Thought Police, and willing to oppose four (eight?) more years of the same.
Amen to that.

Ping!
Pictures worth a Thousand Words!
Suck It Media!
Anyone that would denounce what happened in Detroit yesterday is exposing themselves as haters. The sentiments expressed by Trump, Carson, and the church were all about living in peace and racial harmony. It was a wonderful moment to witness.
Indeed!
Amazing to watch the lying, state owned media turn a message of prosperity for ALL and UNITY for all into something racist.
They’re being exposed, big time, for the evil propagators that they are.
I’ll bet Jared and Ivanka were thrilled!
Is there any doubt that Christianity is under attack ?
Yep...that’s the photo the MSM doesn’t want you/anyone to see.
Let it be seen ‘round the world.
As Trump himself would say...
“Being gifted with a Prayer Shawl at a friendly Black Church in Detroit is significant, Believe me!”
I am so pleased to see this happening.
Bill Kristol is pulling out his remaining hair in confusion.
Trump has been hitting home runs for three weeks now...
I bet they were thrilled...as well as the entire family..Don Jr, Eric, Melania, Tiffany, Barron...the inlaws, etc.
A proud and happy day.
The prayer shawl was a nice thing for them to do. The
Christian faith has its roots in Judaism. (Christ is a Jew.)
There is more honesty and sincerity in 2 minutes of a Trump speech than in 40 years of Hillary’s rattling....
I would be thrilled and honored to receive a Tallit
brought personally for me from the Holy land,
and I’m a Buddhist.
They call it pandering, cause that is what they would do.
Blacks, Jews... (aww shucks)
What’s a biased third world press supposed to do with that?
Why Would a Christian Wear a Prayer Shawl
The Prayer Shawl is a symbol, a garment, shroud, canopy, or cloak which envelopes the wearer both physically and spiritually, in prayer and celebration, in joy and sorrow. The Prayer Shawl, or Talit in Hebrew, is a commanded blessing, given by God.
“Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels [tzit-tzitot] on the corners [kanafim=wings] of their garments throughout their generations [in perpetuity], and to put a blue thread in the tassels [tzit-tzitot] of the corners [kanafim=wings]. And you shall have the tassel [tzit-tzit], that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God” Num 15:37-40.
“You shall make tassels [tzit-tzitot] on the four corners [kanafim=wings] of the clothing with which you cover [kacah] yourself” Deu 22:12.
This garment is used at all major Jewish occasions: circumcisions, bar mitzvahs, holidays, weddings and burials. It originally was a poncho-type wrap that extended below the knees. Later, the talit-katan (tah-leet’ kah-tahn’), a shorter poncho-type garment, was worn. The Biblical requirement does not specify the length, but it does have three distinct requirements:
The garment is to be an outer covering [kacha].
The garment is to have four corners [kanafim].
On each of the four corners there is to be a tzit-tzit (a specially knotted tassel) with a blue thread running through.
In Biblical times Jewish men wore their prayer shawl all the time, not just at prayer. The apostle Paul was a Pharisee, but also a “tentmaker”. Because the Hebrew term for tent and tallit is the same, many believe that he made Prayer Shawls, not tent structures as we know them. In the Old Testament six million Jews could not fit into the tent of meeting that was set up. Therefore, God gave each his own private sanctuary where they met with Him. It was an intimate, private space and time set apart from anyone else, totally focused upon God. This was their PRAYER CLOSET, as in Matthew 6:6!
The threads of the tzit-tzit are significant. The colors of the six threads are generally white, or colors that coordinate with the garment, with a blue thread running through. The six represents the threads of our life, representing that we are set apart — holy to God. The blue thread is called the “Shamash”, or helper. This helper is the thread that is blue for heaven and royalty, and it is the one that binds the rest together and gives it its meaning. We recognize this helper as Jesus Himself, and the Holy Spirit of God that Jesus sent to be our helper, counselor and power.
The tzit-tzit are wrapped and knotted in a special way that is designed to be a representation of The Name Of God, YHVH, “I am that I am”. The Hebrew alphabet represents both letters and numbers; each letter stands for a sound, and also a number. This means that we can “write” in Hebrew by using numbers interchangeably for the letters. The tzit-tzit are made in this way. The threads of the tzit-tzit are double knotted five times; five for grace, and ten single knots to remind us of the commands of Love that God has given us to remember and keep. The shamash is wound between these double knots with 10 wraps, 5 wraps, 6 wraps and 5 again. The numbers of wraps correspond to the Hebrew letters 10=Y, 5=H, 6=V, and 5=H. This is a physical representation of The Name of Our God: I AM Your Healer, I AM your provision, I AM because I AM. The tzitzit on your tallit will be a constant reminder of your covenant relationship with God, Yeshua (Jesus) your righteousness, His Commandments and His Promises. What better tool to help you explain what God has done for you and can also do for others?

Gnash their teeth and gouge their eyes?? ;-)
Ping to post #16.
Something to keep in mind.
The “Alt-Right” narrative has/is being replaced with “White Nationalism” since it’s easier for the media to define.
Here’s what is coming next.
Hillary, her campaign and her media tools will accuse Trump and all White Republicans of trying to do what the Democrats have actually been doing for over 50 years.
Hillary will soon be telling “Black folks” that Trump wants to put them back on the “Plantation”.
She will tell them that She has been working relentlessly to “Help” the black community. But it’s those nasty Republicans that are standing in our way.
Mark my words.
