Anyway, it is sort of nice to unplug for a little while.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t see either side of this debate between the rabbi and Mr. Silverman pointing out the obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Silverman has no business being a mother.  While I am sometimes shocked when I find myself in agreement with Rabbs, I must say that being a child of Sarah Silverman&#8217;s would be de facto abusive.<\/p>\n<p>Who on earth would imagine that it would be a good idea for someone whose public persona is as reprehensible as Sarah Silverman&#8217;s to be responsible for raising a child?<\/p>\n<p>So I have to disagree with the rabbi and disagree with Mr. Silverman.  She should not become a mother because of what and who she is, irrespective of her ethnic or religious origin.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of that, one occasionally reflects on the fact that sometimes girls with a religious orientation are the ones who become the most outrageous.  Sarah Silverman is not unlike Madonna and some other who have tried to turn social inappropriateness, blasphemy, and outrageousness into a vehicle for fame and money.  One wonders if the religious orientation itself proves to be a motivation for their behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I find the Jewish Press more impressive than the Jewish Journal (which refused to publish or link to the article) in this culture war over Sarah Silverman.
