Another important fact censored by our useless controlled media.
Bernie Sanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanders had a Jewish upbringing, attended Hebrew school, and had a bar mitzvah ceremony. In 1963, in cooperation with the Labor Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair, he and his first wife volunteered at Sha’ar HaAmakim, a kibbutz in northern Israel.
As mayor of Burlington, Sanders played a pivotal role supporting the Chabad public menorah at city hall, which was contested by the local ACLU chapter. He publicly inaugurated the Hanukkah menorah in 1983 and his early and strong support played a significant role in the now widespread public menorah celebrations around the globe.
Sanders has described himself as a secular Jew. He has rarely spoken about religion and has downplayed questions about it.] Sanders has said he is "proud to be Jewish" but "not particularly religious", saying he believes in God but is "not actively involved" with organized religion. A press package issued by his office states, without elaboration, "Religion: Jewish".
