There are thousands of ordained Orthodox rabbis in America. (Less if you count only synagogue rabbis.) Like any clergy, they vary as individuals. And yet somehow, the Dems struggled to find any who would endorse Kamala.
Jacob Kornbluh, a notorious hack with the left-wing Forward, circulated a list that claimed to be of 33 Orthodox rabbis for Kamala.
There were a few minor problems with the list.
9 of the people on it were women. Orthodox Judaism does not ordain women.
The leading signatory is Alana Suskin (unfortunately pictured) who is a member of the ‘rabbinic cabinet’ of the anti-Israel group J Street and describes herself as a “Activist Feminist Psychopomp Rabbi Working for justice & equality in the US.”
The letter was organized by Shmuly Yanklowitz, a leftist activist who may or may not even be Jewish, whose religious affiliation is at best unclear, and who writes stuff like this, ‘Were Adam and Eve Black Transgender refugees?’
A number of the clergymen (who were men) on it were conservative rabbis.
Some were not American.
Rabbi Shamir Caplan appears to be an Australian clergyman in Melbourne who endorses gay marriage.
Tyson Herberger is an associate professor of religion and religious education at the University of South-Eastern Norway who deals with “queer issues”
When you have to reach as far as Australia or Norway to find a ‘rabbi’ who will endorse an American presidential candidate, things are not going well. They’re going even worse when you have to go to Norway to find a guy named Tyson who deals with ‘queer issues’.
That’s like calling a plumber in the middle of the night only to reach an art historian, but you figure it’s close enough.
A number of the ‘rabbis’ on the list seem to be LGBT-friendly which is a no-no in Orthodox Judaism.
One of them, Eric Leiderman’s pronouns are he/they. He’s a conservative rabbi.
Then there are the anti-Israel folks like Michael Langer, a fellow of the anti-Israel T’ruah hate group.
How many of this bunch are Orthodox rabbis in any meaningful sense of the word? Maybe a third. That’s barely a minyan. How many are affiliated with an Orthodox congregation? Even less than that.
It shouldn’t be this hard to find a few dozen rabbis of a few thousand to sign anything. But Kamala can’t even round up enough supporters in the Orthodox Jewish community to fill a minivan.

You mean Emhoff’s not a rabbi?
He isn’t the Democrat’s designated Chief Rabbi of America? Or is that Schumer……..

The idea of a female rabbi is repugnant – yes I am 100% Hebrew DNA – Orthodox Hebrews in the Jewish religion prove this as not one orthodox female rabbi – How can a 13 year old Hebrew boy in the Jewish creed or religion say: “Today I am a man” with a female rabbi?
So any rabbi that sides with the antisemitic anti-Israel left demonKKKrats is not Jewish – they are Hebrew by DNA but not Jewish by religion.
Say, lefty whackos it was dementia corrupt Quid-Pro-Joe TaliBriben who said on a black radio program: “If you don’t vote for me you ain’t black” without one outcry from the lefty bought and sold 8×10 glossy whores in the main sleaze media reading a teleprompter –
Only Hebrews, whether religious or not, supporting President Donald Trump who has proved his alliance and support of Israel by fulfilling prophesy moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem and the Abrahamic Accords and more!!

Where is Schumer’s lesbian rabbi? Is she in this group also although she is “progressive” or whatever she calls herself?
Dr. Larry says
I suspect it would be difficult to find an Orthodox Jewish rabbi who would support an anti-Semitic Marxist for President.

I like the minyan minivan play on words. Thanks for the smile at a tense time. Very tense.
