Noam Neusner says that President Obama’s claim that religiously motivated schools and services are not truly religious runs counter to tikkun olam, the Jewish obligation to do good to others...

But will he vote for 0bummer again, you betcha.

Catholic ping!

Very interesting. Hopefully many liberal Jews will start thinking more deeply about 0bummer and his policies.

For Jews it may mean no rabbis will be allowed to do brit mila, only doctors. Or maybe the entire practice could be banned.
No kosher meat because it has too much sodium and the govt wants to limit that in the interests of health. And of course, everyone will have to accept gay marriage.

“The Obama Administration has held – and continues to hold – that if a religious institution wants to serve the community as a whole and employ people who do not subscribe to their faith, what they do is functionally not a religious mission at all, but a public one.”

Obama knows that many churches won’t compromise on this, so this argument really means that he wants those churches OUT of the business of providing these services. The commies will celebrate if Christian schools shut down rather than comply. That’s a bigger win for them than getting a few more people free birth control pills.

Obama thinks he is slick with this move right out of the Alisnky “community organizer” playbook. If you are the one instigating the debate, you can help shape the outcomes, so that either way, you benefit. Obama thinks, if the churches comply, he is a hero to the left for fighting for “reproductive freedom”. If the churches fold, he is a hero for shutting down the Christian brainwashing schools.
