“Many Christians naively believe that Orthodox Jews are basically on the same page with Christians, only they are running one testament short. This kind of superficial treatment of Judaism and Christianity reduces everything to whether you say ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Happy Hanukkah.’ Do you put up Christmas lights, or do you light a menorah?

“I can resist other people’s temptations all day long and not even break a sweat. But I am a hardline conservative, and this means that one of the things I should keep a weather eye out for is the tendency of certain kinds of conservatives to get a bad case of the Jew thing.
