Ignorant sensationalism

“Rabbi David Wolpe shocked the Jewish world when he gave a Passover sermon that suggested that the Exodus as described in the Torah never took place.”

Evan missed is true calling in life. He should be writing for the National Inquirer.

Anyone who knows anything about modern Judaism knows that modern Jewry ranges along a theological continuum from far left to far right. It would hardly shock the Jewish world that a modern rabbi denies the historicity of the Exodus.

And Wolpe’s article show no sign that he’s ever studied the opposing literature on the subject.

  1. Yeah, Wolpe's got to be wrong for just those reasons, Steve! Man, you hit 'em out of the park every time.

  2. Jaguk,

    Um, Steve didn't make an argument as to whether Wolpe was right or wrong. He simply commented on the emotionally loaded terminology Evan employed, viz., "shocked."

    Man, you hit 'em out of the park every time! Way to go, stud.
