I have to admit not knowing how to respond to seeing those Rabbis in New York being led away in handcuffs and hearing about their highly unkosher deeds.
On one hand, I pride myself on not shying away from hard-to-handle topics, rather than just blogging about stories that conform to my own pro-Judaism and pro-Israel agenda.
On the other hand, where to start?
It has to be said: These men are worse than common thugs and criminals because they have not only committed vile acts. They have also desecrated G-d’s name and emboldened anti-Semites everywhere.
I could rant and rave about this for much longer, but in times like this, I find that humor soothes the soul. I can’t take credit for this next piece, but it’s too good not to post.
