Oy vey! I’m just verklempt (speechless) over Rep.Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Yom Kippur message to the Jewish community

Greene (R-QAnon) has blamed California’s wildfires on’ Jewish space lasers linked to the Rothschild family. She has spoken at an event organized by white nationalist neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. And she once compared Capitol Hill mask-wearing rules introduced during the pandemic to the Holocaust.

So what does she do to atone on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar — Yom Kippur? She posts a Yom Kippur message on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday with the image of a Hanukkah menorah — a symbol for a Jewish holiday that will be celebrated in December.

And of course she was widely ridiculed and criticized for being such a shmegege (stupid person). Or perhaps she’s just meshuggener (crazy person).

And just what meshugaas (nonsense) did Ms. Jewish Space Lasers post on X that caused such tsuris (troubles).

Greene quickly deleted the post, but it didn’t go unnoticed.

In a separate post on X, Meidas Touchs co-founder Brett Meiselas wrote:

“Frankly, Jews don’t need an antisemitic maniac who gives speeches at Nazi events sending out holiday messages in the first place.”

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), who is Jewish, had some advice for his less than distinguished colleague about observing Yom Kippur:

“That’s a picture for Chanukah. Different Jewish Holiday. Yom Kippur is where you atone for your sins. Lord knows you will be very busy.”

TV comedy writer Frank Lesser figured out how Greene got things mixed up:

“Everyone’s making fun of Marjorie Taylor Greene for putting a menorah on her Yom Kippur message, but in her defense she thought it was an eight-pronged Jewish space laser.”

Greene deleted her original X post lest former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi send the Gazpacho police after her.

So Greene got rid of the menorah image and just posted her text message. The only problem is she still got the Hebrew wrong.

TV writer Bill Brady, co-creator of “The Big Bang Theory,” pointed this out on X :

x She deleted the Hanukkah menorah, but she kept the bad Hebrew.

The Meidas Touch website offered this explanation:

The traditionally accepted greeting on the holiday is “g'mar chatima tovah,” which in Hebrew translates to “a good final sealing” in the Book of Life.

The Guardian added: “The greeting refers to the belief that one’s fate is written on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah and then sealed on Yom Kippur.”

And finally someone even took the trouble to design Greene’s Easter message.
