Rabbi Dov Fischer excoriates the Democrats on Kavanaugh

Jack Kemp

In polite language at American Spectator, an Orthodox Rabbi artfully says it all about the Democrats.

Here are three of the salient quoted sections:

BEGIN QUOTE

...but I also am congregational rav (Orthodox rabbi) of an Orthodox synagogue, Young Israel of Orange County, now in our eleventh year and in my twenty-seventh year as a rav. This is perhaps the busiest season of the year for a congregational rabbi. We teach more intensely. We prepare sermons that entail our deepest focus on the unique messages we will
sermons that entail our deepest focus on the unique messages we will deliver to our largest congregational assemblages of the year. SECTION OMITTED

Despite time demands, I find myself so upset now over the viciousness of the Democrats these past several weeks, trying in every imaginable way to character-assassinate Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, that I have to write. The Prophet Isaiah wrote: "For Zion's sake I cannot hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I cannot remain silent until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her salvation as a flaming torch. I know that feeling. I feel that way for Zion and Jerusalem every waking moment of my life.

And now I feel some of that same inner compulsion to speak out against the character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh. I cannot hold my peace, and I cannot remain silent.

SECTION OMITTED

That is what is happening here  and it is disgusting. I cannot hold my peace. I cannot be silent. I stand with Kavanaugh.

During the period that we Orthodox Jews know as The Ten Days of Repentance that begin with Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and that end with Yom HaKippurim (The Day of Atonement, aka Yom Kippurâ), we believe that we and all people can ask G-d for forgiveness. We focus on the full litany of possible character flaws ” some reflected by wrongdoing between a person and another, some by wrongdoing in not living by G-d's laws ” and we intensely pray to G-d for forgiveness and for the strength to change, to improve. We regret our prior action, internally abandon that aspect of what we once may have been, and confess directly to G-d our failings. When someone says to me, as in couples counseling: "Rabbi, there is no point to this counseling: my spouse never will change ” because people never change,â€Â I reject that statement adamantly. It is a lie that people cannot change, do not change. People do change. I have seen it all my life. No, not all people. And some people opt to change in some ways but not in others. But through a lifetime I have seen so many people make so many personal changes when they undertook to atone, to fix character flaws, to deal with their anger, to seek treatment for their addictions, to overcome their narcissism, to develop humility, to accept blame, to seek forgiveness.

1 This is just supremely wonderful. Rabbi Fischer's congregation is truly blessed to have him. When you've read the entire article, you'll understand why I say that.
