In an interview with The New York Times ahead of the paper’s endorsement of a Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders said he is “proud to be Jewish” but is “not actively involved in organized religion.”

“I am Jewish,” Sanders told the Times’ editorial board when asked whether he believes in God. “I am proud to be Jewish. I was bar mitzvahed from the Kings Highway Jewish Center, a long time ago. I am not actively involved in organized religion.”

The Times notes in a comment in the interview that “if elected, he would be the first Jewish president, and also one of few who have openly discussed a disconnect from organized religion.”

  1. Bernie Sanders: I’m Proud To Be Jewish – But Not Actively Involved… in the Torah, which is why I married a non-Jew and I’m so G-dless and lawless.

  2. Bernie staffer wants to send Trump supporters off to the gulag
    And get this. It’s because he claims that we’re Nazis. How ironic is that? HE wants to send US to concentration camps, yet we’re the Nazis?

  3. I was bar mitzvahed from the Kings Highway Jewish Center, a long time ago

    How do you get bar mitzvahed?

    The actual name of the shul is The Kingsway Jewish Center.

    I have an uncle who is in his 80s that davens there. He said that no one his age in the shul remembers Bernie Sanders or his parents. In fairness when Bernie Sanders’ father died in the 1960s none of those people lived in the neighborhood yet. (But you can be sure that had they been davening there back then they wouldn’t know that family anyway)
