American Jews have to been too complacent and apathetic towards the judenrat (above) and kapo-style “leadership” that has co-opted America’s largest Jewish organizations. American Jews catastrophically failed the diaspora during World War II. We have much to make up for. It is unfathomable that we should be going down the same path in much the same way again.
On April 21, 2015, Tennessee became the first state to pass a resolution formally condemning Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel and the increasing incidence of anti-Semitism; it was signed by the Governor several days later. This resolution was initiated by Laurie Cardozo-Moore, founder of a Christian Zionist organization, Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, together with Mark Freedman, Executive Director of the (JFEDNMT). He joined Laurie in speaking to legislators and testifying to a Tennessee Senate committee in support of the resolution.
The Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee had advocated for a resolution that condemns BDS – supposedly in line with their 2011 actions, where they adopted a policy restricting financial support for organizations involved in promoting BDS. The policy, which also applies to grants from the Federation’s Foundation reads in part:
“The JFEDNMT does not fund organizations that through their mission, activities or partnerships:

… 3. advocate for, or endorse, undermining the legitimacy of Israel as a secure independent, democratic Jewish state, including through participation in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, in whole or in part.
These principles also apply to grants from the JFEDNMT’s Foundation.”
Yet, when it comes to actions, this same Federation’s Foundation granted money this year to the New Israel Fund complete with an asterisk that frees up NIF’s funds to support organizations that promote BDS.
Israel and Overseas Grants Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee
It appears this is not the first year they sent money to NIF. Harriet Schiftan should be contacted to answer why does the Federation fund such heinous programs? Her husband, Nashville Rabbi Mark Schiftan (who has been described as the most dangerous Rabbi in America) took his congregation to a local mosque to commemorate Yom Kippur – the holiest Jewish day of the year.
So, standing with the boycott loving Alisa Doctoroff of the UJA-Federation of New York is the Yom Kippur imam loving Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Kapos – all of them.

I wonder where Louis Brandeis would stand on all of this. He was a supporter of free speech, the right to privacy, the working class, and Zionism. It seems his political descendants may have forgotten about the values of free speech and Zionism. It is telling that the American Jewish Congress lost a substantial portion of its endowment by investing with Bernie Madoff. I have a feeling Justice Brandeis is rolling in his grave.

A thousand bucks for ‘pluralism’ [translation, field trips to mosques]

So this sanctimonious, self-enamored moron insults his own religious tradition and visits a mosque on Yom Kippor – with his brain dead congregation, no less.
One can only marvel, with disgust, at the colossal vanity at work here.

This group does not represent the feelings of the people of East and Middle Tennessee who overwhelmingly support Israel. I just do not understand why a Jewish organization would do that? Tie the rope around their own necks!

Exactly, and what I thought upon seeing this headline. Why not just become Muslim if you hate being Jewish!!! Do they really feel they will be saved, if they reach to the Muslims? How sick are their minds? All I have to say, is, F them all (which is the only word for my anger these days) Just a bunch of traitors. I am proud to be a Jew!!!!!!

What is Yom Kippur?
The holiest day of the year. Fasting and atonement, solemnity and joy . . .
Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year—the day on which we are closest to G‑d and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement—“For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G‑d” (Leviticus 16:30).
For nearly twenty-six hours—from several minutes before sunset on 9 Tishrei to after nightfall on 10 Tishrei—we “afflict our souls”: we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather footwear, and abstain from marital relations.
Before Yom Kippur we perform the Kaparot atonement service; we request and receive honey cake, in acknowledgement that we are all recipients in G‑d’s world, and in prayerful hope for a sweet and abundant year; eat a festive meal; immerse in a mikvah; and give extra charity. In the late afternoon we eat the pre-fast meal, following which we bless our children, light a memorial candle as well as the holiday candles, and go to the synagogue for the Kol Nidrei service.
In the course of Yom Kippur we hold five prayer services: Maariv, with its solemn Kol Nidrei service, on the eve of Yom Kippur; Shacharit—the morning prayer, which includes a reading from Leviticus followed by the Yizkor memorial service; Musaf, which includes a detailed account of the Yom Kippur Temple service; Minchah, which includes the reading of the Book of Jonah; and Neilah, the “closing of the gates” service at sunset. We say the Al Chet confession of sins eight times in the course of Yom Kippur, and recite Psalms every available moment.
The day is the most solemn of the year, yet an undertone of joy suffuses it: a joy that revels in the spirituality of the day and expresses the confidence that G‑d will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our verdict for a year of life, health and happiness. The closing Neilah service climaxes in the resounding cries of “Hear O Israel . . . G‑d is one.” Then joy erupts in song and dance (a Chabad custom is to sing the lively “Napoleon’s March”), followed by a single blast of the shofar, followed by the proclamation, “Next year in Jerusalem.” We then partake of a festive after-fast meal, making the evening after Yom Kippur a yom tov (festival) in its own right.
