My Jesus Year on CNN

FeivleJay, you are living in a bubble. Yes, the shuls you and I go to that reflect Torah Judaism are full week after week, but we don't reflect the typical American Jew. The overwhelming majority of other shuls are, indeed, sparsely populated.

I tried to read this book with an open mind because the author's brother was my family's rabbi for a few years, but so much of it made me highly uncomfortable.

I even cringed in this interview when he talks about shuls across America supposedly being empty. The shuls I've seen, those that reflect authentic Torah Judaism, are filled with enthusiastically praying Jews who love Hashem and His Torah and want to praise Him.

And then there's the statement "we're really not that different."

Yes we are! The Jew is different and always will be.

One of us believes that a rebellious Jew from two thousands years ago is a god and worships him as such.

The other one believes in the One true God and has died throughout history instead of believing in this idolatry that is Christianity.

I am stunned by the heter enabling him to visit these churches week after week.

Still, it's a funny read with interesting stories.
