This Week in New Jews for Jesus Sephardi-hater Rabbi Meir Soloveichik (1/17)

The MS “Faith in America”: Get On Board with the New Jews for Jesus Religious Radicalism

 

On Thursday night we got the following program series announcement from Soloveichik, “Faith in America”:

Thus far, all the participants are Right Wing Christian radicals.

 

The first installment with the very confused Ross Douthat has been posted:

Tikvah has posted the next participants:

Mary Ann Glendon:

It appears that she refused to accept an award from Notre Dame because they invited President Barack Obama to speak:

How’s that for Religious Freedom!

 

But she was a big fan of George W. Bush:

Wilfred McClay:

He too is a First Things radical:

I see that he supports keeping Confederate statues:

And, of course, Trumpist Senator Mike Lee:

It is where Tikvah really meets Trump:

Lee was won of the “Stop the Steal” defenders:

Until he wasn’t:

Soloveichik will be announcing more excellent religious extremists to talk about religion.

 

I’m sure that they will all be true paragons of Religious Humanism!

 

Yeshiva University Torah Blast!

 

The following is an ad sent out by YU through an Orthodox Jewish list-serv:

It is a generic attempt to drum up business in these trying times.

 

But look at the picture of professors closely!

 

After seeing the picture of Trumpscum Soloveichik, I actually thought for a second that I saw Steve Bannon!

 

But, not to fear, it was only someone named Edward Belbruno:

It is worthwhile to note that YU sees Soloveichik as someone they can use to promote their “from classroom to career” pitch; meaning that Mr. Tikvah Trump is a way to climb the professional ladder.

 

It is a point of pride for them.
