To the editor: I’m the writer of the e book “Los Angeles Jew: A Memoir.” Though I now reside in Orange County, I do know my native-born L.A. Jewish neighborhood properly. (“Once strongly liberal, Pico-Robertson surged for Trump in 2024. Why?” Dec. 10)
Sure, the Pico-Robertson space is closely Jewish, however through the years the inhabitants has develop into more and more Orthodox, and Orthodox Jews sometimes vote extra Republican.
Your article cites “a powerful Republican canvassing effort” as a motive for Pico-Robertson backing President-elect Donald Trump. Whereas I used to be not the goal of those Republican efforts, it seems that tying in Trump with a tough-on-crime district legal professional candidate actually helped in an space involved with security.
Orthodox Jews are closely considering Israel, and Republicans identified that when he was president, Trump moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Not talked about is that Trump did this not as a result of his coronary heart ached for Israel, however as a result of it was a gimme for the late Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s help.
Lastly, Orthodox Jews are male-oriented. If it’s extraordinarily uncommon for a girl to be a rabbi, how can a girl be president of the US?
I’m sure that the pro-Trump “info” didn’t point out that the MAGA base stands for a white, Christian America, one the place Jews return to the shadows.
