Jews vote demorat. except hasidim and a few outliers, they are all big libs. Screw them.

I never expected “politics” from the pulpit. I have every expectation of Faith to DEMAND truth.

[Disestablishmentarian]

Well stated.

The same is true of Christian pastors. Dr. Robert Jeffress is a major Trump supporter; but, from the pulpit all you hear is the teaching of the Bible.

Outside church or synagogue it is totally appropriate for these men and women to speak about politics.

this is one of the reasons that Rabbi Wolpe has a very large and pleased congregation. of course he is an amazing teacher. there are ways to get moral value positions across without introducing politics.

Wolpe’s ‘Temple’ is the usual center for gay marriage, ‘sustainability’, ‘reugee aid’, and all of the other shibboleths of the Left. I’m happy to hear he leaves off SJW preaching at times, but he knows he’s preaching to the choir.

Check out the families of hard Left Jewish politicians like Bernie Sanders or Al Franken. Many or most have non-Jewish wives and children because a liberal Jew marrying a liberal Catholic is not an really intermarriage.

Since the politics is largely composed of “Whites are Satan” and truth be told the Whites as Satan shtick is pretty long in the tooth, and stooooooopid.

I left my Methodist church in California, right after 9/11, because of the ragin politics from the BULLY pulpit. That church lost half of it’s congregation in the weeks following.

With the Religious liberty law you can now listen to political speeches from the pulpit.

Wolpe? Isn't he the "Conservative rabbi" who says the Jews were never in Egypt?

The author seems to be a member of the "Reform" movement. "Reform" (like "Conservative," "Reconstructionist" and "Secular-Humanistic") Judaisms are heretical movements and have no valid rabbis. Only Orthodox Judaism is Judaism.

I note he also constantly refers to going to "temple." There is only one Temple: the one in Jerusalem that will soon be rebuilt, please G-d. To refer to synagogues as "temples" is every bit as supersessionist as the claims of chrstianity that the church has replaced the People of Israel.

We have a new head rabbi that many of us are concerned is beginning to change our long history. He has driven a Saturday minyan (a group of 10 or more congregants) of more observant Reform Jews from the Temple. The minyan was principally led by Dennis Prager (yes, that one). Dennis did everything he could to maintain the minyan’s status at the Temple, but was forced to take it elsewhere. Many Republicans Jews will leave the Temple over this, and then others will likely follow. At a time when Temple membership is floundering across the nation, why would any rabbi antagonize part of their congregation because of their personal political views?

Interesting!
