And please keep in mind that we evangelical Christians have your back and we always note that Christ was a Jew. I only speak for my group of followers, though.

The majority of American Jews still voted for Hillary

Interesting if true.After decades of prosperity and decades of what is,at worst,minor issues regarding discrimination and mistreatment they no longer see themselves as victims.And no longer seeing themselves as victims they look at their tax returns and say “hey,wait a minute here”.

“My niece’s Bat Mitzvah speech included her rejection of G-d’s existence, earning her applause in the Reformed Congregation.”

Wow. Do you mind my asking where in the country this happened? (I understand you may not be able to be too specific.)

Orthodox Jews, in addition to being politically conservative, tend to have lots of children, who tend to grow up to be politically conservative Orthodox Jews.

Astonishing——and incredibly sad.

Rather than the Mitzvah they might as well have taken everyone to a good movie followed by dinner.

I don't understand that. Isn't a Bat or Bar Miztvah like a Christian Confirmation, which the participant reaffirms their belief in GOD and the teachings of the faith?

If it now means something else, then WHY read scripture?

“Me: YES! And same for Catholics and Protestants, too”

Most people who admit to now believing in God don’t bother to call themselves Catholic anymore. What’s much more annoying is how many “Catholics” CLAIM to believe in most of what the Church teaches except for...and then they give you a laundry list of all the things they have no problem with such as abortion, gay marriage, etc. ARGH! Just please leave the Church officially!

None of this matters that much because the Jewish vote in most of the nation is minuscule. What DOES matter is their outsized campaign donations to the various parts of the Dem party and their candidates.

And just because someone is no longer labeled “Jewish” or “Liberal Jewish” doesn’t mean their donation habits will necessarily change. What does matter is if wealthy Jews identify with Israel strongly enough to affect their donations and/or their personal values are altered and/or are offended as the Dem party shifts to anti-white, pro-Muslim, Progressive ideologies, anti-family, anti-traditional values of hard work and education and means to advance in society.

Same here and yet if they/muzzies had the chance they’d slit everyone one of our Jewish necks!

Maybe reformed Judaism is a mental illness too:-)

When you no longer believe in G-d, please stop calling yourself “Jewish”.

That's what's always confused me.For years I've been reading that a huge percentage of *American* Jews (haven't seen anything regarding Jews elsewhere in the world) declare themselves to be atheists.Just as surely as the label "atheist Christian" makes no sense to me "atheist Jew" makes no sense as well.

I really don’t understand why this generation is so quick to reject God. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Life is tough enough without thinking in bad times you are on your own.

How can anyone look at this world and think it all happened by accident. Sigh

“This is a load of Schmaltz!”

They serve beer at Bat Mitzvahs?

If I had questioned His existence at my confirmation some nun would have whacked me upside the head.

Headline is just more lügenpresse. The numbers don’t support the headline. The tiny minority of Jews that are politically conservative (as opposed to neocon) are just that - a statistical speck.

While we should welcome and support that tiny minority, and appreciate support from them on social issues, we should not buy any propaganda about any change in the the Marxist/Sparticus/Socialist/Democrat mainstream. And we shouldn’t give them a special pass to undermine this country because of something that happened to a distant relative three quarters of a century ago in a country on the other side of the world.
