Special Haftarah for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (video)
this tribute to Justice Ruth Bade Ginsburg by Rabbi marc Katz and Cantor Meredith Greenberg, replacing the haftora with words taken from RBG herself chanted to trop is strange and beautiful. I would say it is inappropriate to replace the words of the haftora and perhaps this should have been done in addition rather than instead of the haftora, but I never get the point of criticizing the Reform for not doing something the Orthodox way. They aren't Orthodox and don't follow halacha, and in that context I do not know how to say something they do is appropriate or inappropriate. They have a different way of doing things.

What a pity that the planned merger of Reform Judaism with the Universalist-Unitarian Church in the late 19th century fell through. At least it would not have been mistaken for Judaism or given it a bad name.

ReplyDeleteYou kniw this is right on the money. Our sages said that after prophecy ended with Malachi in 450 or so BCE, prophecy has been granted only to fools. So if they want to claim thst Ginsburg is a prophetess...
