Secular vs Orthodox

Unlike Secular Reform Jews some of whom are Jews in name only, Young Israel is a synagogue organization run by Torah Jews or Religious Jews. Unlike Liberal Secular Jews, Orthodox Torah true Jews are loyal to God, this is authentic Judaism. Orthodox Jews tend to emphasize family values.

One of the main Rabbi’s who spoke condemned Secular Jews who make up their own religion and in his words “weaponize it” against conservative values. As a result Orthodox Jews overwhelmingly voted for President Trump.

Following Hegseth’s speech was House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R), who delivered a new radical congresswoman a direct rebuke. The congresswoman singled out was Representative Ilhan Omar. She parrots anti-Semitic views used by those wishing to do harm to the Jewish people throughout history.

Rep. Omar continues to imply that elected officials who support Israel have dual loyalties. Omar’s words make showing support for a United States ally country and its people as something nefarious. House Leaders first chose to reprimand Omar for anti-Semitic language. Now, coddling is happening. Under Nancy Pelosi’s leadership the House is no longer chastising Omar claiming she is not understanding the meaning of her words.

According to Real Clear Politics reporting, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi claims, “But that she didn’t have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where these words have a history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown to her.”



Ending the Dinner Review with Humor

Finally, Former Governor Mike Huckabee (R) in his characteristic sense of humor said Donald Trump was not his first choice for president. He says his first choice was himself, and Trump was his second choice.

Huckabee also expressed his view is that the Israeli government should never be forced to give away Judea and Samaria. It was a powerful night with inspiration and great speakers.
