Is the bimah a place for politics?
Rabbis who politicize from the bimah may face a rough ride if they espouse views that don’t sit well with their congregants. J. brings light to such incidents in the Bay Area.

Worked in a Conservative shul where the rabbi’s job was in jeopardy for the following:
1) He placed promo brochures for an Aids march on every seat in the main sanctuary during Rosh Hashanah.
2) He said “penis” when discussing the Bobbitt incident.
oy gevalt! he said the word “penis”!
Why was he discussing Bobbitt??
It’s nice to see my rabbi mentioned in this article supporting less political sermons. I’d rather not hear mention of the upcoming election or current political events during the High Holiday services.
