[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only joined a temple 3 years ago so most of my experience has been in the Trump era. I think a lot of the political talk these days is just a reminder that what is going on in the world is not normal and we shouldn't just be sitting by idly. I can see how it would be off-putting to some but I think our Rabbis just want to encourage us not to be bystanders.

Just my two cents. [/quote]

So, it was OK to be a bystander while Obama deported four million immigrants, or while he attacked Israel, or while he forced religious communities to pay for anticonceptives  ... but now it's the end of the world?[/quote]

Synagogues did speak up; BS - Obama never did; BS-Obama never did. [/quote]

Obama did and did and did.

Perhaps you should find a more objective and empathetic temple.[/quote]

Perhaps you should find a new doctor for your early on-set dementia meds? Obama has the same policy towards Israel as Clinton.  He criticized Bibi who like your beloved Trump is under 50+ criminal investigations  -which has never been attacking Israel; Obamacare did not force religious to cover anticonceptives  .
sic), it provided government-funded access to contraceptives when religious organizations objected to funding family planning health care.

See, you truly need a new temple.

Obama's parting shot at Israel:

"The administration’s decision not to veto the measure reflected its accumulated frustration over Israeli settlements. The American abstention on the vote also [b]broke a longstanding policy of shielding Israel from action at the United Nations[/b] that described the settlements as illegal."

"When the Little Sisters of the Poor filed a complaint against the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate in 2013,[b] they joined a host of other religious charities and colleges that claimed the law placed a burden on their free exercise of their religion[/b]. But the sisters stood out: If nuns claim a law violates their conscience, who’s to tell them they’re wrong?"

Again, up the aricept:

Settlements grew under Obama - and being against most settlement expansion was Clinton's and even Trump's policy. Certainly, Obama was more pro-Israel than Bush I, for example:

Also, you don't understand Obamacare:

The ACA required nearly all employers to offer health insurance that covers access to a wide array of contraceptive methods. Religious houses of worship were exempted from the mandate entirely, and certain employers could apply for exemptions. This includes religiously affiliated charities and hospitals and “closely held” private businesses that believe paying for contraceptives would violate their religious or moral beliefs.
