Rabbi Menachem Creditor (top left) of Congregation Netivot Shalom in Berkeley and eight other rabbis (pictured) were among a gathering of 80 clergy in Washington, D.C., this week speaking out against gun violence.
Creditor was part of a smaller group that met Jan. 29 with Vice President Joe Biden’s policy team, which is leading the work on gun violence legislation, and staff from White House offices that deal with faith-based issues, neighborhoods and public engagement.
Rabbis preach gun control in nation’s capital
The 80 clergy from around the country were representing PICO’s Lifeline to Healing Campaign. PICO stands for People Improving Communities through Organizing.
The goal of the gathering was threefold: discuss the role that faith can have in healing the U.S. from gun violence, get training from gun-violence prevention experts and meet with government officials.
Together the group crafted a moral statement, which was presented during testimony at the Jan. 29 meeting.
He said the nine rabbis will soon publish a book to be titled “Peace in Your Cities: Rabbis Against Gun Violence.” On http://www.rabbicreditor.

Do people realize that Rabbi Hammerman is the Rabbi who wrote the deranged Tim Tebow article in NY Jewish Week?
In the article, the Rabbi claimed that if Tim Tebow wins the superbowl his followers (Evangelical Christians) will burn Mosques, bash gays and deport immigrants.
Do these other Rabbi’s realize they are associating with a bigot?
Where was the outcry from the Jewish community when Rabbi Hammerman’s article hit the global news?
This man is an embarrassment to Jews!
