PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A rabbi who leads a Modern Orthodox synagogue said on Wednesday he and his congregants are growing accustomed to the toll of anti-Semitic taunts that have become a "not irregular feature of life" before and after the presidential election.

Rabbi Barry Dolinger said he was walking from his Pawtucket home to Providence's Congregation Beth Sholom on Nov. 12 when a car pulled over and young men yelled, "Heil Hitler," before speeding away.

He said it's not uncommon for members of his 110-year-old congregation on the city's East Side to experience such ugly jeers this year. He said it has happened to him at least five times and to someone in his congregation at least once a month, always when they're walking about because they don't drive while observing the Sabbath. One time, he said, he was told he "should have been burned in the ovens."

. . .

Dolinger said hate against Jews is "closely tied to anti-Muslim bigotry," and while he doesn't want to be "overly catastrophic" he said the experiences are real for many minority groups. He said it could help for political leaders to speak out.

How long before they turn on Trump's Jewish son-in-law?

Right now he is a useful tool for the Nazis/alt-right Trump supporters.

But you know they don't like 'his kind'.

They will claim that he committed anti-Christian discrimination against Christian Chris Christie.

5. Well, there are historical stories to review...

Start with: Night of the Long Knives. This is most likely what is going to happen before the administration implodes.

8. Christian Christopher Christie

garnered much of his support from devout Catholics who saw Christ in his name twice, believing he was God's gift. The Enlightenment's embers have gone dim, overshadowed by fear and superstition.

or daughter, since she is a converted Jew.

4. Disgusting and sad

6. Everyone should have the right to feel safe.

This is fundamentally wrong, and I don't like it.

7. It is ironic that

The orthodox vote Republican because their rabbis believe in a State religion, unwittingly believing the State religion will be Judaism.

10. I don't think that's what they think

The orthodox don't support state religion, they think that when the messiah comes he will introduce the world to Jewish law and everyone will love it.

Many vote republican because they in general want the gov to stay out of their business, except when it comes to funding their charter schools.
