Lau’s quote was grossly taken out of context — not a single news report actually quoted the full interview, in which the rabbi mourned the victims and emphasized that a conversation about denominational differences is irrelevant here.
[…] I replicate here the original words of Rabbi David Lau, when asked by a Makor Rishon reporter about his attitude to the Conservative affiliation of the shooting’s victims: Lau was asked to comment on the ultra-Orthodox Israeli news outlets’ coverage of the massacre, which refused to call the Tree of Life Synagogue a “synagogue” but rather calling it a “Jewish center.”
Lau was evidently aghast. “How is that relevant? Don’t bring that up in [connection to] this topic. We are talking about Jews murdered because they are Jews. Why is this even a question?! I don’t hear or understand what kind of a discussion can be in regard to this question. They were murdered because they were Jews. Why does it matter in what synagogue or what liturgy they were praying?!”
Jumblr folks, if you saw and/or reblogged the post citing the Haaretz article claiming that Rabbi Lau refused to call Tree of Life a synagogue, please reblog this one too.
Pence is really bringing out a Messianic “rabbi” to prove that the administration isn’t antisemitic 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
And it’s not that there are no politically conservative rabbis. Or that there are no rabbis that support Trump. They could have found someone, but they chose a Messianic leader. Why? Because they only see Jews as potential Xtians.
@ politically conservative/republican/Trumpian Jews: they will never support you, and they will never accept you. Stop deluding yourselves.
Oh boy!! It’s a fucking mystery?? A spooky scary mystery!! Better get fucking Sherlock Holmes on this one! It’s a big fucking mystery, with no obvious answer!
This is not a Sherlock Holmes mystery. This is a Scooby-Doo mystery, where the villain is an old white guy pulling a real estate / inheritance scam.
