Rabbi Joe is a good man. I listen to his Sunday show all the time on wabc radio.
I recall when Fr. Paul Keenan died (his old co-host)he had a memorial service for him in his synagogue.
Competing rallies, eh. I would like to see the crowd for this event somewhat bigger than the original Conference crowd.
I didn't know Fr. Paul had passed away. Strangely I stopped listening to Religion on the Line soon after they dumped the left-wing Protestant guy. I think the show really needed his wacko positions as a foil. After that when Keenan and Postasnik were always on together it seemed they did more shtick than religious philosophy and I stopped listening.
I admired Fr. Paul. Like most associated with the Church he was an eloquent spokesman for moral positions which have unfortunately become politically incorrect in our time. I am sorry to learn of his passing.

Rabbi Potasnik’s synagogue is in Brooklyn Heights not far from my house. When I was teaching at St. Charles Borromeo (a Catholic grammar school in the Heights) about 15 years ago, a co-teacher friend of mine had the Rabbi come into our school to teach a 7th grade class on Judaism. He is a very spiritually centered man and our students loved him. He sees the presence of God in all people.
Where do you listen to him on radio? Is that only in NY?
Was he the Rabbi that called in to Hannity’s radio show Friday?
