Now that Trump has overplayed the "I was chosen by God" card, time for God to collect on the quid pro quo. And time for clergy to step up to deliver that message.
Um, did you per chance read Charlie Sykes’ article today? It’s about a lot of awful things rump is doing be he touched on the wonderful Bishop’s request to rump and compared her remarks to the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a very good article and worth your time if you haven’t read it already. (Aside; I had to put my hair, which was on fire, out, when I finished his article)😡
The references to Micah and other specific Jewish Scripture enriches your piece, and educates its readers. It also dispels the common misrepresentation of the "Jewish God" as punitive and lacking mercy. We need to constantly remind our non-Jewish friends and cohorts that the "Jewish God"-- and the Torah--teaches mercy and lovingkindness, again and again. Bishop Hudde certainly understands that. I feel deep gratitude to her for the courage this truth in the direct face of power. Thank you for putting this in front of more people.
Congratulations on all your subscribers! I benefit from all your content significantly. I re-learn from the Scriptures what has escaped me, getting older you know. Humor is well received. And relish your foot notes! I appreciate your comments about Bishop Hudde. I commend her for speaking the truth. I'm certain she was following Divine Guidance. Thanks Rabbi Joshua.
Oh boy were they squirming. lol. Watched it again with the sound off and could focus more intensely on the squirming. Would be fun to speed up the video a little bit. Please someone post that
There is so much pain in your response, Deborah and I'm glad I could provide you with a platform to share it. Now let’s all work together to rid our society of these ills. Many thanks for giving me a small part of your day. The replies of my readers give me hope because you all care so much!
Thank you Leah. While I personally do not think he was so good for Israel last time, I respect your opinion and understand that the majority of Israelis agree with you. I'll try to give credit where it is due and deal with matters as they arise. This essay is focused on one matter that is particularly distressing for me - his inclination to believe that he's been chosen by God. In Jewish history, when leaders do that it rarely goes well.
Wonderful words , Rabbi. Bishop Hudde is a courageous and inspiring woman. You gave me a good chuckle describing your AI result for Micah 6:8
Thanks anna
Sorry, Bishop Budde.
Another excellent article. I loved your foot notes as much as the article. Thanks for your insightful writings. You’re the Bomb!
Appreciate it, Claudia. I like the idea that I can go into greater depth with the footnotes without making the original piece too top heavy
I love comments and footnotes.

I'll look for it. Thanks for the suggestion
Miss you sermons and incredible insight. Thank you for always speaking the truth. Hope you and Mara are well and happy.
Thanks, Claudia. Miss you as well. It’s nice that at least we can stay in touch this way. Warm regards.

Thank you, Rabbi.
He’s gonna get nowhere in this term, but those who voted for him deserve the worst, he’s an abomination.
