One rabbi I talked to guessed there are maybe 20 rabbis in the state. I didn't get to all of them, and I only heard back from about six before the sun set and Hanukkah was upon us.

One rabbi tried to get me to move to Birmingham. It sounds really nice. (He gets his kosher food shipped from Florida and keeps it in a massive freezer. One temple's website has a link to buy kosher wine. If you want to be observant in Alabama, you have to work for it a little.)

One rabbi wouldn't talk politics. He did talk about tikkun olam, repairing the world through one's own actions. "V’ahavta l’rayacha kamocha," he said: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." The whole Torah can be boiled down to that, Hillel said. The rest is just commentary.

That a Republican actually lied to cover up for some sort of bigotry.

That's just beyond the pale and would never be tolerated by those fine people across the aisle.

I just heard her brag
"We have a Jew lawyer".

God knows what she would have said if the lawyer were African American.

the "So There" was left hanging.

I am so grateful to her, for helping ole Roy to lose the election.

and if he wants to run again for something, I hope they go with that nit wit spokesman that Tapper stunned on the air.
