Presidents Conference vs. J Street: ‘Mean Girls’ Edition
The dovish group J Street has lost its bid to gain admission to the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations by a suprisingly large margin of 22-17.
Many were outraged, including Union for Reform Judaism leader Rick Jacobs who threatened to quit the group, which he called a “facade.”
But we have Facebook to thank for this particular gem. Touché.
