The blow back on Trump is growing stronger

The umbrella bodies for modern Orthodox Jews joined Jewish groups in rejecting Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims’ entry into the United States.

Unlike the range of other groups that have condemned the call by the candidate for the Republican presidential nod, the Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America in a joint statement did not name Trump.

Instead, it said the two umbrella bodies “reject calls to limit immigration to the United States based on religion.”

The statement quoted Natan Sharansky, the former prisoner of the Soviet Gulag and now the chairman of the Jewish Agency, who said of Trump’s call: ” “We should not permit ourselves to turn our legitimate fears and threats and challenges of terror into hatred of the other, into dismissing whole national or religious groups of people.”
