Deconstruction By Gilad Atzmon
I met Rabbi
Michael Lerner twice in 2012. The rabbi kindly invited me into his home,
we dined together, I met with members of his congregation and discussed
my thoughts with them. However, I was recently troubled by Rabbi
Lerner's speech at Muhammad Ali’s funeral. Unlike many other peace
loving people I was not impressed at all.
To watch Rabbi Lerner's speech:

It
takes some balls for a rabbi to stand in front of the American people
and sing 4 bars of Kadish, the Hebrew prayer for the dead. But it takes
more than balls for a rabbi to stand in front of the nation and fib for
eight minutes. Rabbi Michael Lerner has accomplished both.
