This public squabble between billionaires lends itself to so many Table Talk-worthy discussion questions.
One, as you know, happens to be Jewish, while the other is a classic Jew-hater.
(Forgive me for not using the term anti-Semite; doing so honors and perpetuates its origins as a way to high-brow Jew-hatred.)
I'm happy to see that the Paper of Record has finally come clean on its Jew-hatred. It has been an open secret for decades, but until now they've managed hide it in a mere anti-Israel slant, seducing many thoughtful people who would otherwise have cancelled their subscriptions long ago. Now anyone with a moral compass must respond in the only language that the Times will understand. Moreover, why would you want to give a dime to such an organization?
The fact is that these very public events give us an opportunity for self-reflection and the following question for your table:
The Jew-haters seem to think that Jews matter (for the wrong reasons); what do you think? Do we matter for the right reasons?
Wishing you and yours a
Shabbat Shalom,
Chodesh tov (Sunday), and
Chag Shavuot Sameach (Thursday night/Friday)
