Danny, I see what you’re saying, but there’s always been anti-semitism and always will be. I still think it was gutsy and clever to make Rosh Hashana relevant to many jaded Jews. The people who already go are not a problem, it’s getting other people who say ‘why bother’ a chance to think about it. When’s the last time Rosh Hashana made it to the top pages of Digg or was the biggest topic of discussion?

i heard that the rabbi is very mortified over what he caused and taking steps to mend his ways and apologize to the Jewish community worldwide, he had no idea his silly PR idea would result in so much antisemitism in the blogosphere. dontr’ believe me,search google news and you will ulgy antisem at manhy blogs over this….the rabbi should apologize on his website to begin with….

even if their intent was to draw attention to themselves, you’ve got to be pretty distant from your own spirituality to draw people by upping the price of prayer. what were they thinking? it works for fashion designers, so why not try it for religion? i’m so faklempt that i could plotz!
