Jewish group tells Lieberman to repent

I often hear Christian groups telling folks to repent, but it's rare that I hear it from Jewish groups, especially liberal ones. But today, I got an e-mail from Rabbi Arthur Waskow's Philadelphia-based Shalom Center telling Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, an Orthodox Jew, to do just that. It is actually called a "Jewish letter of rebuke."

The 1,950 Jewish signers of a petition at www.shalomctr.org told Mr. Lieberman that he was violating the Torah by opposing provisions in the bill for public option and Medicare coverage at the age of 55.
