Ben Carson’s Shrine to Himself Features Jewish National Fund Plaque
A sneak peek into revealed two things:
1) He enjoys seeing pictures of himself — preferably in the company of Jesus.
2) He has a plaque from the Jewish National Fund prominently displayed on what looks like the Ben Carson basement Hall of Fame.
The inscription reads: “Jewish National Fund Tree of Life Award presented to Dr. Ben Carson in recognition for his outstanding commitment to medicine, his devotion to children, and his strong desire to inspire and encourage people to reach their full intellectual potential.”
Media more interested in contents of Carson’s house than contents of Hillary’s server https://t.co/EY1xmwaaKk

We’ve reached out to JNF to explain the circumstances behind this strange piece of memorabilia. Updates to come.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
