Nice.
But seriously. Sorry, Rabbi. Don’t do this.
Prophet? Isn't it too much?

This right here gets into something I have said in private, among other Jews, for a very long time:
Many, many reform Jews have replaced actual Judaism with something that isn't actually Judaism at all. The use of the word "prophet" here is just a bit more proof. https://t.co/07DzHAT91e

That’s not how this is supposed to work. That’s not how any of this is supposed to work.
