Bernie Sanders, So Secular He Works on Shabbat

Bernie’s Religion Is the Revolution

Bernie Sanders’ belief in Judaism and God may be in question, but his belief in the working class is undisputed

At sundown this Friday, observant Jews at Charleston’s Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim, one of the first synagogues in America, will set aside their worldly chores to spend the Sabbath in contemplation, celebration or prayer with family and friends. Sen. Bernie Sanders will spend his Friday and Saturday campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president, either in South Carolina or points west. On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement capping off the Jews’ most holy week, Sanders visited with Pope Francis at the White House. As the ram’s horn sounded to end the Days of Awe, Sanders was taking a taxi toward Union Station. It’s safe to say Bernie Sanders is not a practicing Jew.

Ariadna: Bernie Sanders (you can call him using his initials) is from Brooklyn. That explains in part his desire to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. You want a revolution? He can throw that in too. Call it a lagniappe.
