In My temple, the Rabbi thunders against the President, and, unbelievably, against intelligent design. (We live near Dover, PA.) On the high holy days, instead of telling us that we should atone, and pray for forgiveness, we are told that, instead of following Jewish moral rules, we must vote Democrat to be good Jews.

Do you know why your Rabbi believes and teaches you must vote Democrat to be good Jews?

Maybe it is the Jewish leaders that need to be educated and maybe even scolded for leading their people down the wrong political path, by Jews like you who know better. Just a thought

It's a good thought, but Jewish congregations are very independent, and hire and fire their own Rabbis. I think a Republican rabbi would have trouble getting hired in most American Jewish congregations.
