StumbleLetter: Mayor didn’t owe rabbi an apology
Thursday, June 29, 2000 | 9:31 a.m.
The Constitution not only provides freedom OF religion, but assures us freedom FROM religion.
The operation of a synagogue in a residential area, not zoned for same, is against public policy. I would, were I the neighbor of the property in question, object just as vehemently if the building was being used as a mosque, cathedral or ward meeting house.
If Rabbi Moshe Omer establishes a synagogue in a properly zoned area and anyone should desecrate it, I would be the first to object -- loudly -- to its desecration.
