Today’s NY Times did a feature on Bernie Sander’s Jewish identity written by Joseph Berger which made a few interesting points.
1) In 1983 as Burlington VT mayor, he participated in the Chanukah menorah lighting with Rabbi Yitchok Raskin and recited the brochos for the second night without guidance.
2) Attended Talmid Torah at Kingsway Jewish Center in Midwood Brooklyn, where he also had his Bar Mitzvah.
3) Participated in tashlich this past RH following a speech that he gave at Liberty University in Virginia.
4) Went back to his father’s old community in Poland outside Kracow in 2013.
