O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie usRabbi Abba Hillel Silver in 1950 said Jews would better proclaim Torah now that they were not a stateless people any more:
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion...
-Robert Burns
Exile made the mission of Israel impossible because the mission of a defeated people is automatically discredited. Exile was defeat for God as well as for Israel. ...The god of a defeated and conquered people has little to recommend Him.Notable Zionist leader Silver, a classical Reform rabbi, saw in Judaism a gift for the world, rather than a retreat from others - a rational ethical system rather than primarily a system of worship of a tribal deity.
French and his wife, Sheridan, filed a lawsuit this week, alleging that false accusations of child abuse were made against him during the contentious primary race in 2016.
This lawsuit seeks less than $100,000 from David T. Sorensen, who the suit claims is a "professional political operative" who was working on behalf of Geren last year.

Sorensen, hired by the political consulting firm Murphy Nasica, was among those working on Geren's campaign.
The lawsuit indicates that Sorensen and Sheridan French were at the same early voting site Feb. 17 last year when Sheridan began receiving notes from her husband, stating that at least one of his supporters received Facebook messages "falsely (representing) that law enforcement had made numerous trips to the French family house in response to domestic abuse calls."
Sheridan French "interrogated" Sorensen about whether anyone from Geren's campaign was behind the messages, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit states that Sorensen called Geren and then told Sheridan French that Geren said his campaign was not involved.
"I didn't know about the Facebook posts," Geren said Tuesday. "They weren't Facebook posts by me."
The next day, Sheridan French was at another early voting site for her husband, talking to a friend about how her youngest son complained about his side hurting, according to the suit.
She ended up taking her son "to a chiropractor to examine the pain and ... the chiropractor had been able to effectively treat and eliminate her son's side pain by adjusting a rib."
The lawsuit claims that a campaign worker for Geren overheard the conversation.
Days later, on Feb. 26, 2017, an "anonymous tipster alleged that the French family's youngest child had suffered broken ribs as a result of abuse by his father, Mr. French," the lawsuit states.
Comment: The play's synopsis actually describes the underlying mentality of the common social justice warrior and the response of governing officials rather well. SWJ's, spurred by the successes of modern feminism, have taken the public mind hostage and instead of pointing out the oppressive tactics of these people, their opponents (anyone who doesn't think exactly as they do) are labeled as enemies of humanity.
