    Since when is democracy a ‘core Jewish value?’ What am I missing here?

    The panderer in chief is winding up for the only thing he does well, campaign. But like the man who grabs the tiger by the tail, once he has got a hold on it he doesn’t know what to do and that’s judging him favorably. Also, don’t let anyone forget his past and current efforts, overt as well as covert, to suppress the only democracy in the middle east.

    No such thing in Yiddishkeit as “tikun olam.”. Its a liberal idea and what they mean by it has no place. In Yiddishkeit.
