Actually, the story was broken by the Baltimore Jewish Times a day earlier than the sun: http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/news/jt/local_news/rabbi_jay_kenneth_wagner_indicted_for_continuing_theft/14550 That said, our hearts go out to everyone involved.

Mussa: Jews are actually only 1.9 percent of the U.S. population. We range from 5.2 million to 6.7 million out of 300 million, depending on what survey you want to go by. Also, the mag has such a small circulation because it is primarily geared toward intellectual leadership -- rabbis, academics, etc. Even there, many of them do not receive it.

Jacob, ahhh, but you posted it any way -- which says as much about you as it does about me. As for Mussa, everyone has to have a hobby, eh?

I knew Cantor Goodfriend well and he was an amazing, inspirational person whose voice was as uplifting as his deep laugh and warm smile. Zichrono l'vrachah.

Outstanding find Ron! I'll try to use this in my "Weird News" column -- full credit given of course. -Neil Rubin, Baltimore Jewish Times

Ron, right on target as always. This is collective punishment. We Jews should speak out -- even against ourselves. The Gaza War had real justification; preventing baked zitti ain't gonna win hearts and minds.
