Jonathan Sacks, earned applause for telling the Guardian - England's most notoriously anti-Israel newspaper - that Israel's self-defense against a two-year war of Palestinian terror makes him "feel very uncomfortable as a Jew."

I wonder whether Sacks takes Yom Kippur seriously.....

A young Jewish man came to an Orthodox Rabbi, Conservative Rabbi and English Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. He asked them each the same question, "Why do we fast on Yom Kipper"?

The Orthodox Rabbi said,"To ask God to forgive us our sins"

The Conservative Rabbi said, "We think it might have something to do with the antiquated belief in sin"

Jonathan Sacks said, "Screw it, want a bite of my ham and cheese?"
