Israel – Ahead of his “Restoring Courage” rally which will take place in Israel on August 24, American talk show host Glenn Beck had the opportunity to meet with Israel’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger.

The two discussed the upcoming event and the rabbi offered his support.
Speaking to Rabbi Metzger, Beck described the event as a “gathering of people from all over the world who wish to stand for Israel and for the Jewish people.”
As he did when he addressed members of Knesset, Beck said he was inspired by the words of Biblical Ruth, who followed her mother-in-law, Naomi, to Israel from Moab and promised her that “Your people shall be my people and your G-d shall be my G-d.”
Beck asked Rabbi Metzger to take part in the rally and deliver the Prayer for the Welfare of the State of Israel, to which Rabbi Metzger agreed.
I was hoping never to hear from Beck again but to have him surface in EY with Rav Metzger is really depressing. I’m wondering how much Metzger’s mosdos will get paid for this performance. What a chillul hashem for the rav to show up at this event and offer a teifilah for the medinah.
But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried.
lets hope for his success, I hope to make it to the rally and support it
A libtard would be a LIBeral reTARD, but then again, thats a redundancy.
All u liberals are just reincarnations of the type of people who burned all the wheat reserves while jerusalem was under siege. U people are nuts and u think are Friends are enemies and enemies are friends. One day ull see how on the wrong side of history u r.
Sherry, please keep in mind that I don’t hate liberals. I may hate their message and what they stand for, but I don’t hate them as human beings. I just think they are misguided.
Yaakov321 – That doesn’t mitigate the fact that the 2nd in command of the U.S. compared a group of peaceful American citizens to thugs who kill innocent men women and children alike. And by calling liberals retarded, I am actually insulting the developmentally disabled.
Anonymous Doctor – please don’t take my comments too technically. 2nd of all, I live in America, work in America, and vote in America. The U.S. is not politically modeled after Israel, thankfully so. Israel is much more of a socialist style country, and if I wanted half my money to go to the gov’t, I would move there. Please keep the 2 countries’ political agendas separate.
