But hey, as I understand it, this "Jewish" mayor is actually Catholic anyway. But because he has one Jewish parent, is liberal, isn't a redneck, and thinks the Torah is mythology he's an honorary member of the tribe. After all, as everyone knows (sarcasm), Judaism isn't about G-d and Objective Truth but the Bill of Rights. After all, doesn't Chanukkah celebrate the receiving of the Bill of Rights by Thomas Jefferson on Mt. Rushmore?
And while we're at it, don't forget another "honorary member:" Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's boyfriend.
Sorry, all. I may have to avoid posting for a while.
Interesting all this comes to pass so near Shiva Assar B’Tammuz.
