Real Peace Middle East (RPME),
is a not-for-profit organization based in Miami, Florida. Rabbi Sam Intrator is
president of this organization and has just released a trilogy of
mini-webisodes on Youtube that satirize U.S. policies toward Israel as well as
conflicting attitudes many liberal Jews in America have toward Israel. On
Thursday October 18th, a demonstration in support of Israel by both
Democratic and Republican Rabbis was executed in front of the Israeli Consulate
in Miami. Rabbi Sam Intrator is the former Rabbi of the world renowned
Carlebach Shul in New York City and is a prominent spiritual teacher. Today, he
is the Rabbi of the Carlebach Minyan in Miami Beach, Florida. In practice and
message, Rabbi Sam crosses the boundaries between Jewish denominations to
reveal a common heritage as the source of the Jewish tradition. Another
boundary he crosses at times is Politics. Similar to many other liberal Jews,
he is a life-long Democrat who like other Rabbis today, is concerned about
contradictory irrational U.S policies toward the Middle East and Israel in
particular. Rabbi Sam believes these
policies are hampering instead of helping the peace process between
Israel and its Palestinian neighbors. Rabbi Sam also spoke to students at Lynn
University about the peace between Israeli’s and Palestinians.
