Wouldn\u2019t you know it, I finally get some national attention and it\u2019s about something I kind of regret that I said.<\/p>\n

MSNBC\u2019s BLTWY Blog<\/a> quotes my post about Sarah Palin<\/a>.\u00a0 I was quite irritated by her wearing the star of David.\u00a0 A reader pointed out (not so gently) that if I simply consider it a cultural symbol then I shouldn\u2019t be so bothered by it.\u00a0 It was definitely more of an emotional than a rational reaction.\u00a0 Sort of like the emotional reaction that a few people have to an atheist rabbi.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I completely stand by everything else I said in the post which was also quoted by the MSNBC blog:<\/p>\n

Some American Jews, like Rabbi Jeffrey Falick of TheAtheistRabbi.com, feel that Palin is merely in Israel \u201cfor her own gain, unrelated to the best interests of Jews, Palestinians or anyone else in the region.\u201d Falick, for one, wishes that Palin would \u201ctake off\u201d the star.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I never thought a comment about Sister Sarah would be the thing to get this blog noticed!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
