With rabbis like this, who needs Judaism?

Mar 26, 2007 Americana, Faith and Works

David Kelsey notes:

I wouldn’t expect Newsweek to get anything right about Judaism, and would expect their list of The Top Fifty Rabbis in America to be a joke. . . .

But two of them in the top ten aren’t even from the branches of liberal Judaism. They are leaders of other religions entirely. That is to say, unlike the progressive branches of Reform or Conservative who wrestle to find Jewish meaning (and usually lose) in their negotiations with secularism and liberalism, these two religions represented in the top ten contain specifically foreign theological content.

Number four is Yehuda Berg, of the cult New Religion, the Kaballah Centre.

And the number one (number ?!?) is Rabbi Marvin Hier, the leading theologian for political Holocaustism.

Ouch! With cuts like that, who needs a mohel?

    As shocking as this may sound, I recommend not getting one’s information about anything from Newsweek.

    I noticed that Shmuley Boteach is on the list, and only #9 at that. Ever see his TV show on cable?
