Liberal Reform and Conservative rabbis to join White House High Holiday call after 2 years

[IsraelTimes] Groups had been absent from the traditional call since Trump’s controversial ’both sides’ comments after white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

Rabbi Debra Newman Kamin, the president of the Rabbinical Assembly, the union of Conservative rabbis, told the Forward

...an astoundingly parochial, leftwing weekly Jewish newspaper based in Manhattan. As far as I can tell, they think Brooklyn is a foreign country, and don’t think about the rest of America at all...

on Thursday that its board had taken a vote and decided to have a representative participate in the call this year.

"The overall sense was, regardless of how people feel about the president, that respect should be shown for the office of the president," she said.

Congrats, guys, you’ve normalized yourselves.

#2 In America the Conservative Jews followed the more liberal Reform branch in ordaining women rabbis a few decades ago, g(r)omgoru. It’s only the Orthodox who continue to resist.

#4 a game

The parochial outlook in action — after all, as far as they can tell, they’re perfectly safe. It’s like Watership Down, I swear.

#5 Groups had been absent from the traditional call since Trump’s controversial ’both sides’ comments after white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

This is one thing that pisses me off about the media. The "there are good people on both sides" comment was clearly about the controversy over tearing down statues. It was *not* some justification for white supremacist groups no matter how many times it gets spun that way.
