Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15
Two weeks ago, there was a “swastika” spray painted across the welcome sign of Hebrew Union College. Rabbi Daniel Bogard said: “We say ‘not in my country,’ or ‘not in my city,’ or ‘not in my school.’ But this IS our country, and it Is my city, and this IS the quiet and peaceful campus that I spent my rabbinical school years at, defiled with a swastika” (Cincinnati Enquirer, January 6, 2017, Page 8A).
Is the United States a Jewish country? Is Cincinnati a Jewish city? Is that what the Rabbi is saying? It is where the Rabbi spent his years of schooling to learn to become a leader in Judaism. It is where he learned the Talmud. And it is the Talmud that says that the Jews are the chosen people of god and the rest of the people are “goyim.” Do you believe that? Is that true?
When I visited the Hebrew Union College several years ago, I found that the doors to all their campus buildings were locked. You had to buzz someone who was inside the building and identify yourself. You had to tell who you were and what you were going to do there. In my case, I had to explain that I was going to look for a certain pamphlet in the library. It was a little nerve-racking, but I did it, and I was let in. While at the library, I found out a lot of stuff that I didn’t know. It was contrary to what I had been taught. It was quite an interesting library! It had all the Jewish articles about Jewish people and what they have done to push their Communist agenda. It was very progressive and liberal.
