A radical, queer, Jewish leader has become a darling in the eyes of the left after publicizing her anti-Zionist beliefs.<\/p>\n
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, 38, made a name for herself after she crashed\u00a0Joe Biden’s fundraiser at the beginning of November, as she demanded for a ceasefire in the war between Hamas in Gaza and Israel.<\/p>\n
She paid $1,000 to get into the event, just to heckle Biden – and admitted in an opinion piece published by CNN: ‘It’s a lot of money, but it was a small price to pay for the chance to share my thoughts with the president.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, 38, made a name for herself after she crashed Joe Biden ‘s fundraiser at the beginning of November, as she demanded for a ceasefire in the war between Hamas in Gaza and Israel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg’s striking appearance gave rise to questions as to whether she is trans, but Rosenberg herself deliberately avoids the issue<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Minneapolis-based Rabbi was\u00a0ordained at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, <\/span>Pennsylvania\u00a0in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n She is also a member of the rabbinical council of Jewish Voice For Peace – the far left, pro-Palestinian activist group.\u00a0<\/p>\n Her raging anti-Zionism, especially as a rabbi, has made her a popular figure among the left-wing Democratic members of the US House of Representatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n But she’s also been slammed for only taking her stance out of ‘fear.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Mort Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America, explained: ‘Extremist Jews like Rosenberg, are truly the most pathetic and frightened of all the Jews.<\/p>\n ‘Their positions of appeasement \u2026 they believe this will protect them from our enemies physically harming us. This is fear, this is not an ideology,’ reports the NYPost.\u00a0<\/p>\n Follow the Rabbi’s confrontation with the president, she met with Minnesota’s Representative Ilhan Omar this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n He wrote on X: ‘I was honored to meet with Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, a proud Minnesotan.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘In our powerful conversation, we agreed that true peace can only happen when the current violence ends.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I sincerely pray for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Rosenberg has also made her opinions clear in the media. She told CNN that antisemitism needs to end – and that is how you ‘stand in solidarity with Jews.’\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rep. Ilhan Omar (right) posts on Nov. 16, 2023: ‘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’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her raging anti-Zionism, especially as a rabbi, has made her a popular figure among the left-wing Democratic members of the US House of Representatives<\/p>\n She said: ‘I want to say I know there are many non-jews who believe that supporting Israel in this war is how to stand in solidarity with Jews.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I want to say that ending antisemisim in all the places that Jews live, that is how you stand in solidarity with Jews.’<\/p>\n in her opinion piece, she also said that people are ‘using’ historical anti-Jewish violence – like Adolf Hitler’s holocaust of six millions Jews, the Russian pogroms, and the traumatic centuries-old diaspora of the Jewish people – as an excuse to support Israel.<\/p>\n She wrote: ‘It has caused me profound anguish to see how centuries of anti-Jewish violence are being used to support a violent political agenda in the form of Israeli militarism.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Rosenberg also sports a goatee on her media appearances. PinkNews reports that the rabbi is believed to have PCOS, a syndrome which can create an overproduction of male hormones in a woman, leading to excess facial hair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg stood up during Biden’s speech in Minnesota and told the president: ‘As a rabbi, I need you to call for a ceasefire right now.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Biden told her: ‘I think we need a pause. A pause means give time to get the prisoners out.’<\/p>\n He added: ‘I’m the guy that convinced Bibi (Netanyahu) to call for a ceasefire to let the prisoners out. I’m the guy that talked to (Egyptian President) Sisi to convince him to open the door.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She describes herself as ‘a queer Jewish woman obsessed with Jewish history’, and has championed LGBTQ + rights, as well as Palestinian issues<\/p>\n The White House later clarified that Biden was referring to the hostages – not prisoners – held by Hamas after its October 7 attack on Israel in which 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.\u00a0<\/p>\n He was heckled by Rosenberg while speaking to a crowd of 200 donors at a private Minneapolis fundraiser.\u00a0The rabbi’s striking appearance gave rise to questions as to whether she is trans – but she herself says she is cisgender.\u00a0<\/p>\n Her biography, which appears on various websites, states she is a Reconstructionist rabbi born, raised, and based in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.<\/p>\n She became a rabbi in order to learn our people’s diverse and nuanced histories, and create spaces, ritual, and organizing that helps transform our relationship to past, present and future.’<\/p>\n She describes herself as ‘a queer Jewish woman obsessed with Jewish history’, and has championed LGBTQ+ rights, as well as Palestinian issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n Long before the current crisis broke out, Rosenberg, who is from Philadelphia, has publicized her anti-Israel beliefs. She believes in BDS – the\u00a0Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.<\/p>\n The movement – which Israel itself has long slammed as antisemitic – believes that\u00a0Israel is ‘occupying and colonising Palestinian land, discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel and denying Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes.’<\/p>\n Rosenberg called the BDS movement ‘common sense’ and ‘aligned with Jewish values.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n A statement co-written by Rosenberg in July read: ‘The Palestinian-led movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions is a set of common sense and reasonable demands for justice and human rights, and a clear strategy to get there, all deeply aligned with our Jewish values.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Since the beginning of the conflict, tens of thousands of people have come out in protest, supporting Palestine, across the US –\u00a0resulting in several disturbing anti-Semitic incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n Graffiti reading ‘death to Israel’ and ‘glory to our martyrs’ was sprayed on buildings near the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC earlier in November during one such rally.<\/p>\n Controversial chant, ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ rang out throughout the protests, while a Hezbollah flag was spotted flying in the masses showing support for the terrorist organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n
