Pfft. Get with the times. To Fellowship? It means to watch the Fellowship of the Ring with someone. Look it up on Urban Dictionary. Clearly they enjoy watching the film with their Jewish lawyer bud.
Or their asian clothes launderer, or their hispanic house cleaner?
Such open minded people they are…smdh.
Oy vey! I get conservative christians playing “gods chosen people” with some of the people their god actually picked, but what the hell sort of reason would any Jewish rabbi have for wanting to hang out with conservative christians? They don’t have any make believe skin in that game, sounds miserable. Maybe it is just so they can complain about it later.
Seriously, though, this is a thing. Orthodox (Ultra maybe? Certainly Hasid) Jews cavort with evangelicals for a variety of reasons - My opinion (FWIW) is part of it is fear of the goyim (don’t hit me!) and contempt for the goyim (look at 'em dance around! Wait 'til I show them my shofar and mumble in Hebrew!).
There is a hunger on the part of evangelicals for some kind of authenticity that some believe Jews possess. Yet they are frightened of listening to anyone who doesn’t accept Jesus as the messiah. Messianic Jews have stepped into this breach and profited handsomely. And since they promise that they can convert the Jews, they also profit from anti-semitism. After all, end-times can only happen when Jews are either converted… or live in Israel.
There are these dudes who claim to be rabbis, who go around evangelical churches at Passover, and do a quite repulsive dog and pony show. They wear the black hats, tallit, and (inappropriately) blow the shofar. It makes for quite some theater.
Shared sociology along with strict Muslims does it for me. They all stand against what they see as secular society and too much rights for women and children.
No alcohol hat they admit to. It’s probably in the back of one of the kitchen cabinets, behind the molasses and corn syrup and vanilla… strictly for cooking purposes, or course. O.o
