Video of Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Kaine discussing Religious Freedom at the Jewish American Month Celebration on May 25, 2016 where he highlighted working with the Jewish community on issues pertaining to religious freedom and other matters.
The annual event is organized by The Friedlander Group and hosted by its CEO, Ezra Friedlander and chaired by Greg Rosenbaum and features the participation of members of the United States Senate recognizing the contributions of prominent Jewish Americans for their contributions to the United States.
Mr. Friedlander remarked that “Senator Kaine is a first class individual who relates to all segments of the Jewish community and I am confident that he will continue to work with the Jewish community should he be elected Vice President of the United States.”

There isn’t much to say, but as much as Friedlander is a tremendous baal chessed, he’s extremely close with the Clintons… Need I say more?
He is clearly not put for Jewish interests as he was one of the leaders on the Iran vote and boycotting Netanyahu when he spoke in Congress. Dont fool yourself.
Hillary is a friend to many middle Eastern anti Israel countries (aside from the whole criminal aspect). Since the VP does not have any real power I don’t c y publishing this accomplishes anything other than making ppl think that it’s OK to vote for her bec of him! (And trump is no better but that’s not the point).
Hey Blinded by money: None of these Democrats care about the Jewish interests, they pander to us for our votes, but vote against our interests.
He might be good but he won’t be the president Hillary is ….
Ezra,
This man was pro the Iran deal and showed hostility towards Israel.
It’s clear Ezra Friedlander has an agenda here and his agenda is to help elect Hillary Clinton at any cost…even if it means selling out ones core convictions and that’s exactly what Mr Friedlander is doing. With all due respect to Mr Friedlander but to help elect a liberal who’s position on some issues are against our very way of life and againt the Torah, not to mention her dismal record on Israel – if one digs deep one will see see is no true friend of the Jewish State, it was convenient for her as a senator from New York to pretend to be a friend but most people are not buying it. For all theses reasons most people with a conscience will not vote for her. That said I think it’s wrong for Mr Friedlander to try to look away from all of the above and not only vote for her but to actively campaign for her.
Why do news outlets do that? Why do they back one side over the other side? Who said he’ll be good? Every elected official can be good and can be terrible…why would they endorse one side over the other?
(moderated) God bless Donald Trump!!!!!!!!!!
Stop promoting a guy that does everything with the liberals (moderated)
The VP is not in a true leadership role. It’s Hillary who is the problem.
How any Jew can support Hillary is beyond me. In fact, how any civilized person can support her is absolutely crazy!! They made millions off the hatie disaster!! They are crises opportunists. They only give about 10 percent of their so called charity to actual charities.
Ezra , we don’t need your endorsement the same way we don’t need anyone else’s in lakewood . Hillary is liar and a thief and the wife of an animal who defiled the Oval Office . Not saying trump is the best but please , seriously , u want Hillary as leader of this country ?
Oy, so sad.,praising a VP choice that will do nothing and ignoring the real problem…Hilary a greedy immoral liar. Yea thats the ticket we want.
please–no more voting advice–we were told to vote for cory booker because he “had our back”—but he voted for the iran deal anyway—donald trump is the only one who stated that yerushalym is and always will be the capital of israel—he is our man for the whitehouse—with a running mate who is also very pro-israel
Go TRUMP go
(moderated) Anything he writes should end with ‘paid for by Hilary For President”. And he certainly does not represent the opinion of the vast majority of Frum Jews.
Why is the Lakewood scoop giving Friedlander a venue to spew his nonsensical opinions? His opinions aren’t valued by Lakewood residents. (moderated) (moderated) Please keep him off this website.
This reminds me of Winston Churchill’s observation that “We have established what you are—we are simply haggling about the price.”
I am very surprised that the scoop will stoop so low and post this disgusting post.
The whole democratic party is in disarray.
Look at that discrace Debbie wasserman Shultz.
Boo them all off the stage.!!
Our mesoro in golus is to vote for the politician whom we can best shmear. Thats the one who serves yiddisha interests. Alot of geolim especially the reba’s endorse Hiliary. Facts are lev melochim byad hashem. But yidden have to vote for whom they feel best serves jewish interests. I am not sure why everyone is so certain the Hilary is bad for us.
Perosnally, I don’t see why Hilary will be so bad on vital jewish issues. Apaic can shmear her when it come to Israel. She is great for us working people on wall street. And she won’t cut programs for those that need it either. Its true she is bad on social issues. but so is Trump. Plus nebach its the law of the land and you can’t really change it.
Plus Ezra has another cheshbon. The chances of Trump winning are slim. Whether you love or hate the man, Trump is a wild unpredictable guy. Anything is possible but I think when pushes comes to shove most people will pick the safer more predictable option which is Hiliary. Thus, if yidden pick the winner we have to more in with them when they win.
How nice of Ezra to share his opinion here.
How exactly does he “relate to all segments of the Jewish community”?
Politics may actually be contributing to global warming more than anything else.
