More Rabbis

Another Rabbi roundup. Again, the first one is a fun one--Rabbis from Judean Hills settlements are usually conventionally right-wing and pro-Republican.

Orthodox

  • Rabbi Menachem Froman: Chief Rabbi of Tekoa (Judean Hills, on the West Bank). Former rabbi of Migdal Oz (in Gush Etzion). Founding member of the settler movement Gush Emunim. Veteran Israel Defense Forces paratrooper. Studied at the Mercaz haRav and Yeshivat HaKotel yeshivas. Rabbinical ordination from Rabbis Shlomo Goren and Avraham Shapira. Taught at several yeshivas including Ateret Cohanim and Machon Meir. Leads interfaith dialogue between Israeli Jews and Palestinians (unusual, for a chief rabbi living over the green line). Read more. See video.
Reform
  • Rabbi Henry J. Karp: Rabbi, Temple Emanuel, Davenport, Iowa and Rock Iland, Illinois. Read more.
Reconstuctionist
  • Rabbi Gary Gerson: Rabbi, Oak Park Temple, B'nai Abraham Zion, West side of Chicago, Oak Park, Illinois. Ordained at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. Doctor of Ministry from the Chicago Theological Seminary. Read more.

I want to network with Americans, especially Jewish, for the purpose of writing a joint-letter to Barack Obama asking him to protect human rights of Palestinians living under occupation by REQUIRING ISRAEL TO REMOVE WALL and SETTLERS.
