“This weekend, thousands of ‘values voters’ will convene in Washington for their annual summit sponsored by the Family Research Council (motto: ‘Defending faith, family and freedom’). … One group of voters won’t be too well represented, however. Event organizers have conveniently scheduled their big DC summit for Rosh Hashanah, meaning that most Jews will be elsewhere, celebrating their biggest holiday of the year just as Bill O’Reilly kicks off the summit’s Friday evening plenary session. Not that many Jews were likely to come anyway; the Family Research Council isn’t known for its interfaith outreach. But still, for a religious group, the scheduling seems a little insensitive. Perhaps it was intentional, you know, to keep out the mainstream media.”
