Michael Lerner is an American political activist, the editor of Tikkun, a progressive Jewish interfaith magazine based in Berkeley, California, and the rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in Berkeley. He was among those who eulogized Muhammad Ali last week. He used the address to lash out against Israel as well as Donald Trump.

????
he looked like he clapped just by rote. because he wasn’t even payiing attention! He clearly did not mean to degrade Israel
What exactly does this have to do with yeshivaworld. And why do we need to see such garbage?
Sick puppy, sick puppies.
Thanks for exposing this Leftist loony with a long history or weird anti Torah and anti Israel ideas. He’s the poster boy for all misguided Jews who have twisted ideologies far from a Torah view.
Why must I be exposed to this garbage?
I seriously question the authenticity of his roots to that of the Jewish people.
In other words, I think he is a sheigitz, if you were to research his family history.
Besides which the only people making a chilul hashem on the stage was this jerk and the reform rabbi . Why don’t they groom that mop on their head before appearing on the world stage.
So this guy who calls himself a rabbi – claims private ordination after having gone thru the JTS (conservative) program. His current wife is also a rabbi. He wrote a book entitled Embracing Israel/Palestine and he received favorable comments from such noticeable antisemites Jimmy Carter, Keith Ellison and Cornel West amongst others. so why exactly does the Yeshiva World find the need to give this kook space in its web site?
Did he forget anything in his Marxist/Maoist/Communist/ Utopian/Fantasy diatribe or did he cover all the bases? Only thing that surprised me was that he didn’t plug Bernie Sanders, well maybe that’s because Slick Willie was in the front row.
Interesting how he didn’t mention labor unions when proposing his constitutional amendment banning non tax money from elections. How dare he get up there and claim to represent American Jewry what unmitigated gall.
Ba Reform/Secular Humanists Vehemidan al achas “Tikkun Olam”!
He talks the same drek as Neturei Karta, just got his hair in all the wrong places.
Wacky Weirdo.
