In their desperation to pretend to act Jewish and still remain true to their socialist religion, the Jews for Racial and Economic Justice came up with an idea: 40 Days of Repentance, because they know that they are racists.
They have been going to New York City's Army Plaza every evening and they scream. Most days they have someone blowing a shofar, but if that person is missing they still do their primal scream. Because, um, teshuva or something.
It's actually quite funny.
The first one was June 22:
Here's June 26. One person in front is having a great time.
At one point they managed to get a different group uptown to do their own version, where a Black woman leads a crowd in a chant saying "I have been complicit in systemic racism." I'm not sure if that includes the lead chanter.
On July 10, it rained so the turnout was pretty weak. So the one screamer felt like he had to make up for the loss of "Jews" committed to repentance.
Sometimes there was no shofar - just the howling. And then they don't quite know when to finish.
What do you get when you cross Tikun Olam with werewolves?
I love how New Yorkers completely ignore the crazy screaming people.
Needless to say, this has nothing to do with Judaism. This is a religion of attention seeking, a religion of made-up ritual, a religion of hijacking, a religion of anti-religion - but it sure ain't the religion of Moses or Hillel or Maimonides.
UPDATE: One of the woke called me a racist because of this post.
