God is Thinking of Joining the Teamsters


Staying (though some might argue that we were never there) on the subject of Jews, I thought I'd throw out this article from the City Journal regarding a movement within the Conservative Jewish Community to interpret halakha to encourage certain labor practices among Jewish businessmen (there might be a couple).

For those of you who are not familiar with the magazine, it is a periodical that is affiliated with the right leaning Manhattan Institute, so the article is slightly biased on whether this is a good idea or a bad idea. However, it does suggest that there is some dissatisfaction with this movement.

Maybe this means that the rise of Religious Left will cause scores of libertarians to flee to more pro-free market Churches and Synagogues. Who knows, but the article is definitely worth a read.
