Israeli Sanhedrin in Jerusalem is considering killing President ObamaThis Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, the Nasi (prince) of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem is clever because in his talk he peppers it with references to Moses and Deuteronomy. He also claims that rabbis are not allowed to lie. This is all misleading verbiage. His references to Maimonides are key because in Judaism the Old Testament is filtered through the doctrines of men, like Maimonides, who declared that King David asked for permission of the Sanhedrin before he went to war, which is a lie. So we don’t blame the Old Testament.
