Ambivalent Jewry - a reading from Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks before Pesach 5785

Of all the trials and real, violent, evil enemies faced by the Jews today, oddly the greatest danger comes from idiotic left-leaning secular self-hating Jews. Sadly, they are not a new phenomenon.

In these insanely difficult times, with mobs of evil Islamists and Western Jew Hating Leftists marching in the streets of Europe and North America on a daily basis, the Jewish people come once more to Pesach, the ritual remembrance of our escape from bondage in Egypt under the Pharaohs.

There are still Israeli and American hostages held in the cesspool of Gaza by the evil #Fakestinians, who are so demonic they not only strangled two little children to death in front of their mother, but also kept their bodies as bargaining chips and shields for more than a year. Beyond the misery and anger at our external enemies, Jews also grapple with a bizarre phenomenon - that of self-hating Western liberal Jews who side with the Islamists who want to kill us all.

It has proven true time and again, that when I look for guidance to the departed Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks of blessed memory, he has unfailingly already written deeply and carefully about the issue I am wrestling with.

Ahead of Pesach, I read Rabbi Sacks's essay, "The Ambivalent Jew."

Am Israel Chai, Good Pesach and Shabbat Sholom.

Confusion and death to our enemies.
