Judaism Jim but not as we knew it

This is getting totally weird.  First we had the spectacle of the Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, lying about the origins and status of the modern ideology of Zionism within Judaism, now we've got an antisemitism watchdog reinventing Judaism too.  I thought one of the most famous of the Jewish high holy days was Yom Kippur.  I also thought that Yom Kippur was a fast and that everyone knew it, even non-Jews.  Well now it turns out that Yom Kippur is a festival and has been since as far back as 1948. See this from Dave Rich's book, The Left's Jewish Problem:




Well I'm not aware the left has a Jewish problem but the right definitely has a Judaism problem.

God's gift to Aryans?

I'm indebted to Mike Marqusee for drawing attention to this outrageously racist diatribe from the UK's newish Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis.  Mike found it in Jewish News:
In his opening commentary to the Torah, Rashi brings a rabbinic tradition stating that the reason the Torah commences with details of creation is to emphasise that as creator of the world, it is in God’s gift to determine which lands belong to which people. In this context, Israel is the eternal home and God-given land of the Jewish people.

So what was God's gift to Aryans?  The Third Reich?
