Muslim-Hating Outreach Group Suckles on Wall Street’s Withered Teat

We recently received a press release about the Jewish outreach group known has Aish HaTorah, who has begun to offer "deskside" Rabbinic consultation and ask as "personal spiritual trainers" for executives at some of Wall Street’s biggest firms. According to the the press release:

"Once a week, a Rabbi comes to the office of young hot-shot executives for a few hours, and they study Jewish law, Jewish business, and the like. The Executive Learning Program, run by a Jewish outreach organization, Aish New York, provides cutting-edge social and learning opportunities for top executives who are taking opportunity to study religion."

The program already involves top guys from Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Iconix.

Hmmm, "top" enough to make a sizable donation, perhaps? I’m going to go out on a limb here, and guess that Aish, which runs it’s worldwide organization mostly on outside philantropy, is fishing for money.

You may remember Aish from their foray into filmmaking during the last election, when Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West was distributed to 28 million Americans, obviously (sarcasm) without the intention of scaring people into not voting for the Muslim Barack Obama. While Aish formally denies any direct connection to the film, the film’s distributor, the Clarion Fund, seems to uh…share an address, as well as several high-level employess with Aish. Nice coverup, fellas.

Ronn Torossian, PR dude extraodinaire, and the flack who sent us the release, is another winner–deplored for employing sockpuppetry to impersonate a critic of one of his clients, the illustrious Agriprocessors. Oh yeah, and who according to the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, he once said: "I think we should kill a hundred Arabs or a thousand Arabs for every one Jew they kill." Nice buncha guys.

What do you think?
