Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard Divinity School graduate and lifelong Democrat, recently spoke at the Republican National Convention, urging Jewish voters to reevaluate their loyalty to the Democratic Party in light of rising antisemitism.
After filing a lawsuit against Harvard for allegedly failing to address antisemitic incidents on campus, Kestenbaum argues that Republicans are taking a stronger stance on Jewish safety and hate crime prevention. “Loyalty shouldn’t mean staying silent when our safety is at risk,” he said, pointing to recent Republican policies focused on protecting Jewish students and countering hate crimes.
While still identifying as a Democrat, Kestenbaum’s message is resonating with Jewish Americans who feel the Democratic Party has been slow to address their concerns. As antisemitism surges, he believes that the 2024 election calls for prioritizing community safety over party lines.
“For many of us,” Kestenbaum says, “it’s not about abandoning our values but ensuring they’re truly supported.”
The choice is clear but not for everybody. Do you choose to have legal abortion up to the point of birth . Do you choose to allow transgender operations done on children without their parents consent. do you choose to have a transgender bathroom for both male and female Or do you choose none of the above then you know what choice you need to go with in the presidential race.
My one thought: Trump is an amoral nazi.
