That sure sounds like it. We’ve seen the MSM stretch things, but to impute something like that boldfaced to a private religious observance (and celebration, incidentally) sounds like the talk of people who are ignoramuses about God. Neither knowledgeable Jews nor knowledgeable Christians would impute worry to Jared because he stepped out of the spotlight and observed Sabbath alone with family. Haven’t these yacking folks even read the bible?
No one at the NYT reads the Bible! :)
