Ivanka Trump's rabbi deeply troubled by president's response to Charlottesville

[EllieBC]

A head rabbi at Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s New York City synagogue denounced President Trump’s response to the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, joining a chorus of political and religious leaders who say the president was wrong to blame “both sides” for the violence.

In a letter Wednesday to his congregation, Rabbi Haskel Lookstein wrote that his community had been “consumed” by the “frightening message and fallout” from the hate-fueled mayhem that left one woman dead and others injured last weekend.

“We are appalled by this resurgence of bigotry and antisemitism, and the renewed vigor of the neo-Nazis, KKK and alt-right,” read the letter, which was signed by Lookstein and two other rabbis. “While we always avoid politics, we are deeply troubled by the moral equivalency and equivocation President Trump has offered in his response to this act of violence.”

2. He's "deeply troubled", everyone

Next he's going to be "highly concerned". Like the Senate GOP. On the other hand he called out the President by name.



Let us know when he calls out the President's kids.

3. He's the rabbi of a well respected shul.

It's a Modern Orthodox shul and I suspect most of the membership is also concerned.
