Rabbi Sacks: US Jews making a 'big, big mistake' in politics

 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/286127

 American Jewish rabbis are erring by endorsing — and opposing — President Donald Trump, according to Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi of Great Britain who said he has always studiously avoided showing an affinity for any particular candidate.

 The consequence of blurring the line between politics and Judaism can be significant, Sacks said.
“You mix religion and politics, you get terrible politics and even worse religion,” he said, adding later, “I’m afraid I have absolutely not the slightest shred of sympathy for anyone who, as a rabbi, tells people how to vote.”

  1. Absolutely right. The only official response from Jewish leadership should be "We pray that the best candidate wins and brings peace and prosperity to the entire country"
