Orthodox Jewish Synagogue Attacked by Special Interest Group Before Yom Kippur

First Liberty Institute is defending the right of a small Orthodox Jewish synagogue in California to perform a religious ceremony in accordance with their beliefs. An animal rights organization filed a federal lawsuit against the synagogue, seeking to prevent members of the Jewish community from engaging in a historic Yom Kippur ritual called a kaporos ceremony, where the atonement of sins is contemplated through prayer and the kosher killing of a chicken. On October 11, 2016, First Liberty asked a federal judge to lift a Temporary Restraining Order that prevented the synagogue members from practicing the religious ceremony during Yom Kippur. Just hours before sundown signaled the start of Yom Kippur, the judge granted First Liberty’s request and lifted the order.

The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity, said FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic July 5 announcement that he would not recommend to the Attorney General’s office that the former secretary of state be charged left members of the investigative team dismayed and disgusted. More than 100 FBI agents and analysts worked around the clock with six attorneys from the DOJ’s National Security Division, Counter Espionage Section, to investigate the case.

This question should hardly require an essay, but let’s face it: We’re living in strange times. America is in trouble. Over this past year many of Donald Trump’s comments have made me almost literally hopping ...

Sunday night’s second presidential debate underscored the importance of the next Supreme Court justice, as the candidates and questioners alike recognized that the fate of the federal courts rests in the next president’s hands.

The high court has been closely divided on many contentious issues in recent years, and the next justice could change the development and application of the law for decades. As former Attorney General Ed Meese has stated, “No president exercises any power more far-reaching, more likely to influence his legacy, than the selection of federal judges.”
