Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz U.S. Correspondent: 'Obama's rabbi': Support for Israel doesn't mean blanket approval
Talkback
Title: I know Saperstein too but he`s not much of a traditional Jew Name: Maya City: NY State: NY
Look, he`s well meaning but his sorely lacking in his affinity for Israel - he`s more of a love or leave it guy. He doesn`t recognize Israel as special, rather he wants to apply the US constitution to Israel, which would eventually strip Israel of its Jewishness. Saperstein`s `Jewishness` is more of a liberal social type, but nothing to do with traditional Judaism, hence gay marriage, intermarriage, abortion etc. etc. That`s no way to keep a people. David, you know I like you, but you`re sorely lacking in Judaic values, substituting liberalism for Jewish values. Please don`t speak on our behalf.
