A couple of days ago, Rep. Ilhan Omar met with one of her constituents, Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg.
I was honored to meet with Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, a proud Minnesotan. In our powerful conversation, we agreed that true peace can only happen when the current violence ends. I sincerely pray for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages. pic.twitter.com/FZnyfifEv8

Who is Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg? We did what anyone else would do … we checked Google, and found a profile by Newsweek published on November 2. It turns out Rosenberg heckled President Joe Biden:
While President Joe Biden was speaking in Northfield, Minnesota, about his economic agenda and its impacts on agriculture, he was heckled from the audience about his administration's stance on the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas.
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg interrupted his speech to say: "Mr. president, if you care about Jewish people, as a rabbi, I need you to call for a ceasefire right now." The remark was met with derisive murmurs and cries of "get out." Rosenberg was removed from the event.
…
Rosenberg was identified as the heckler by Jewish Voice for Peace, a progressive, anti-Zionist organization which supports the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement and which Rosenberg has been linked to as an organization she has "served and learned from."
Was Rabbi Rosenberg wearing that mask to prevent the transmission of COVID, or to cover up her beard?
They can’t find a single rabbi to support them who isn’t mentally ill

The mask makes sense now.

"Rosenberg has been described as a member of the LGBTQ+ community," Newsweek reports, "and in 2020 wrote a handbook on 'trauma, healing and resistance' for Jewish leaders and activists." She sports the beard in Newsweek's photo too.
"Rabbi"

Ok, I'll concede sometimes masks are appropriate

I thought your pic was a joke and had to google. You weren't kidding 🤡

I have so many questions.

Seems a bit . . . unorthodox.

It’s AI generated. No other explanation.

As far as being a representative of “the best and brightest” in the Minnesota Jewish community, this isn’t it.

This is honestly hilarious. 🤣🤣 It's progressivism in a nutshell.

So of course Omar had to post photos to her X account.
I honestly thought you had doctored the picture and then I realized you had not. We live in a 🤡 🌎.

We think Rosenberg was outnumbered by the rabbis who showed up for the March for Israel.
