...So, I say this with only sadness: Many American Jews on the left, including rabbis and lay leaders, are embarrassing Jews and Judaism. I say this to ring an alarm in Jewish life and to tell non-Jewish America that these people represent leftism, not Judaism. Furthermore, I am talking only about leftist Jews, not liberal Jews. Unfortunately, however, liberalism has become synonymous with leftism both within and outside Judaism.

This past week, the embarrassing behavior of left-wing Jews reached a new level.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Jews and their clergy at various synagogues around America were gathering to sit shiva -- the Hebrew and Jewish term for the seven-day period of grieving that Jews engage in after the loss of an immediate relative -- because Donald Trump was elected president.

Consider for a moment how childish and narcissistic this is, using the sacred ritual reserved for the death of one's child or parent as a way to express disappointment over a presidential election...

Love Prager.  Easily the most wise of the talk show gang.
