Moshe Aryeh Friedman of Neturei fucking Karta instigated the mohel witch hunt. And he's been falsely passing himself off as a Rabbi. Amazing. 🤯
"...#Friedman initiated a criminal case against three #Jewish #mohels, ritual circumcisers, in #Antwerp.
“There is no ambiguity,” the U.S. ambassador stated. “Mr. Friedman has no mandate whatsoever to speak on behalf of the Jewish community. He speaks only for himself.”
[...]
“His self-assigned titles should not be repeated as established fact, and any statements he makes must not be presented as reflecting the views of #Belgium’s #rabbis or the Jewish community.”
White added that Friedman’s “lies and #Holocaust denial create #antisemitism and harms the Jewish people.”
In 2006, Friedman attended an #Iranian foreign ministry two-day conference titled “Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision” that featured #Holocaustdenial and distortion."

If you're wondering, this is how it's done.
They convened more than one representative/group for dialogue and the exhibition is moving forward because Galliano has done the work and the impacted were included.
"Before announcing #JohnGalliano as the subject of its starry #CostumeInstitute exhibition opening next spring, the #MetropolitanMuseumofArt met with influential #rabbis and #Jewish leaders to discuss the selection of a figure “as famous for his #antisemitic rant in 2011 as he is for his #fashion,” according to the New York Times.
As reported by the Times’s chief fashion critic #VanessaFriedman, the #Met convened several meetings between Jewish leaders and #AnnaWintour, #Vogue’s global editorial director and a Met trustee; #AndrewBolton, curator in charge of the Met’s Costume Institute; and #Galliano himself. Among the Jewish leaders were #JonathanGreenblatt, chief executive of the #AntiDefamationLeague, and rabbis from significant #synagogues in New York."

My people came from Vilna. I have zero desire to go visit Europe. Its just one giant Jewish graveyard in my mind.
"A rare "antisemitic incident in #Lithuania: A local #blogger and #socialmedia activist was arrested after being filmed spitting at three #Israeli #rabbis visiting #Vilnius and urging others to do the same.
According to #Lithuanian authorities, the suspect, #GintarasLiutkevičius, posted a video on social media showing him approaching the three #Jews, who were wearing traditional religious clothing, spitting toward them and encouraging others to follow his example.
“I heard you love to spit on #Christians ... what if I spit on you?” he is heard saying in the video. “You need to go home. This is not your home. This is Lithuania — go home.”

Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:
"Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.
Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.
The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

"The newly merged Movement for #Progressive #Judaism (#MPJ) has held its first national conference, bringing together hundreds of members from across the #UK and #Ireland in what leaders described as a landmark moment for Progressive Jewish life.
More than 300 people attended the sold-out four-day gathering, known as #Hineinu, which was held alongside the Shirei Chagigah music and prayer conference. Delegates came from 53 Progressive congregations and included over 50 #rabbis, #cantors and student rabbis.
The event marked the first major conference since the merger of #LiberalJudaism and #ReformJudaism, creating the UK’s largest Progressive Jewish movement."

"In a rehearsal space where ancient #Hebrew #prayers collide with boom-bap #beats and #Talmudic debate flows like a #freestyle #cipher, the #nonprofit #Rappers & #Rabbis is trying to answer an unlikely question: What happens when #Jewish tradition meets #hiphop culture not as a gimmick, but as a shared language? Founded by educator and performer #MattBar, the collective remixes #prayers, texts, and #rituals through #rap, arguing that both #Judaism and hip-hop are built on rhythm, interpretation, memory, and the sacred power of words.
#Rappers&Rabbis is not trying to make Judaism “cool.” Instead, the nonprofit collective is making the case that #Jewishtradition and #hiphopculture have always spoken a surprisingly similar language.
For #Bar, the project is not novelty or parody, but part of a much older Jewish tradition of adaptation and reinterpretation."

Asaf Elia-Shalev reports that a new national study shows 51% of rabbinical students surveyed identify as LGBTQ+.
"'If you take a historical perspective, it is rather astounding, given the fact that rabbinical schools weren’t even accepting LGBTQ students until the 1990s or later,' said Jonathan Krasner, a professor of Jewish studies at Brandeis University."

"Instead of continuing this long path of reflexive fear responses – where we allow ourselves to be totally paralyzed into a state of rage and fight response at any inkling of change on the Israel question – I think we need a real spiritual renewal as a Jewish people. How did we get here? For what do we bear communal responsibility?"

"I am deeply skeptical of rabbis who get up on the bima and chalk that up to 'Israel is flawed as any country/of course we don’t like Bibi' and then lambaste anyone who actually uses strong language to call out these absolute desecrations of God’s name. If you can’t re-examine your relationship with Israel, and even re-tool it, after these two years, why should I listen to your moralizing about antisemitism?"

Perhaps most notably, those raising concerns now include a small group of Orthodox #rabbis, whose communities have broadly not wavered in their support of #Israel throughout the #war.
Last week ~80 Orthodox rabbis signed an open letter demanding “moral clarity, responsibility, & a #Jewish Orthodox response” to the #HumanitarianCrisis in #Gaza. Signers included chief rabbis of #Poland & #Norway, & the fmr chief rabbi of #Ireland. Organizers said that >½ of those who signed were from the #US.

Associations representing Reform congregations & Conservative #rabbis — denominations that encompass nearly half of American #Jews — have called for #Israel to release additional #aid, citing Jewish values & what one group called a “moral priority” to feed the hungry. Nearly three dozen rabbis were arrested in demonstrations in #NewYork & #Washington last month, calling for more aid to #Gaza & for Israel & its prime minister, Benjamin #Netanyahu, to end the #war.

#Rabbis Emerge as Growing Voice of Criticism of #Israel Tactics in #Gaza
Among the recent public letters was one from dozens of Orthodox rabbis demanding “moral clarity” to what they called a #HumanitarianCrisis.
As Israel’s tactics in Gaza have increasingly provoked international condemnation, rabbis from across the world are taking the unusual step of speaking out against the Israeli government’s conduct in the #war, on moral & religious grounds.

UK: Rabbis condemn Israel in latest show of Jewish opposition to #Gaza war
#Rabbis from Liberal and Reform movements say they are 'horrified' by conflict, as Board of Deputies members face disciplinary action for speaking outfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
By Simon Hooper
Published date: 25 April 2025 15:17 BST"“We stand with all those in Israel-#Palestine seeking to bring about a just and lasting peace. We share in their call for an end to the bombing; an end to the siege; and the safe release of the hostages.”
The rabbis' intervention appears to hint at growing frustration and impatience within #British #Jewish communities towards the staunchly pro-#Israel stance and claims to leadership of conservative Jewish institutions such as the Board of Deputies.
Signatories of the letter include prominent figures within both Reform Judaism and Liberal #Judaism."

Recently it was discovered that a Methodist pastor was dealing meth. Now we can’t all be in the glamourous business of drug dealing, but here are some other things the religious might be a front for.
If you guessed that a yogi might be a gateway religious icon for yoga, you would be very right. The words are very similar for a reason and lends credence(creedence?) to the rest of our examples.
Have you ever thought that Presbyterians were a bit too nosy for their own good? Well, they might be a front for the press of the world. Always searching for that big scoop that will make a big name for themselves.
Many protestant clergymen are known as ministers. This word is also a verb as to minister to the sick. These twisted people might rejoice in giving service. That’s sick, itself, needing more ministering.
Lutherans could be a front for luthiers, you know, those who make and fix stringed instruments. So if you hear a hoedown coming from behind a Lutheran church, you know what is what.
Monks could be a front for Monkees lovers. They do their awesome chanting until no one is within earshot, then break into, “Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees, and people say we monkey around, but we’re too busy singing to put anybody down.”
The priesthood could mean any criminal priest. Maybe he sells meth like his methodist friend. Or perhaps he’s known for other crimes.
Rabbis could be a front for selling rabbits. Do you have a petting zoo? Go see the rabbi for your rabbits and other small, yet cute, mammal needs.
No matter how much you give to nuns, they are giving none away. After all, they are too busy being married to Jesus.
Anglicans may think they are a front for angels. But they are too busy eyeing the angles for their best advantage.

The European Conference of Rabbis (CER) has announced plans to move its headquarters from London to Munich.
It plans to open a "Center for Jewish Life" with educational programs catering mainly to Europe's 1,000 rabbis.
The move is seen as confirmation that Jewish life in Germany is taking on a new dimension.
