¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Brisket-The Essence of Passover

While you are preparing your shopping lists for the Yomim Noraim please note that Doug Elmhoff, husband to Vice President Harris has defined the essence of Judaism -BRISKET. Yes, you heard it. In front of thousands at the United Center and millions of others watching on television, the second husband proudly outlined his credentials as a good Jewish boy from Brooklyn who has demonstrated to the world how he can marry out of the faith and remain faithful to himself and his people. He attends Xmas dinner with Kamala’s family, and she makes a “mean brisket” on Passover! The damage Elmhoff has just generated to the Jewish world is indescribable. How many families will now normalize intermarriage and consider it tikkun olam? He has the audacity to speak about anti-Semitism without the decency to remain circumspect about his own contribution to a spiritual tsunami happening right in front of our television sets. Not since Bridget loves Bernie has a broadcast been so devastating; but Elmhoff can now take a bow and consider himself the true heir to that disastrous sitcom of the 1970’s.
This weeks Parasha Ekev should uplift us from the heels of despair and encourage the Jewish people to strengthen our identity through Torah observance and Jewish education. In this way we show the highest levels of tikkun olem by remaining true to ourselves and our identity and demonize inter-marriage.
And don’t forget, always cut against the grain!

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson
