Our guest is Rabbi Asher Lopatin, the Director of Community Relations at the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor and the Rabbi of Kehillat Etz Chaim in Oak Park, Michigan.
I’ve known Rabbi Lopatin for a long time. He’s not only a great teacher of Torah, he’s also a mensch. Which makes his willingness to support Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed even more distressing to me. Nonetheless, we had a respectful conversation. I’m grateful to him for having it.
We discuss:
El-Sayed’s condemnation of AIPAC
El-Sayed’s views about Israel
The allegation that El-Sayed is singling Israel out
Mike Rogers’ refusal to say that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election
Reminder: There is no live Zoom call today.
