Michigan AG Nessel Urges Jewish Democrats: Put 'Needs of the World' Above 'Self-Interest'
- On Sunday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told Jewish Democrats the biblical story of Queen Esther imposes a "moral imperative" to prioritize the "needs of the world" over "even our own survival."
- Nessel urged Jewish Democrats to follow Queen Esther's example by sacrificing "the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people" for humanity, citing the Purim holiday text as precedent.
- Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, an assistant clinical professor of Jewish Values at Yeshiva University, stated Nessel "got the interpretation completely wrong," citing the 14th verse of Esther to argue the text emphasizes Jewish people's eternal survival.
- Aish CEO Rabbi Steven Burg argued the Book of Esther teaches Jews must protect their own family "against people that are evildoers," emphasizing community self-defense over external sacrifice.
- Nessel previously cited safety concerns for skipping her party's nominating convention, stating she did not want to be "yelled and screamed at" amid heated opposition to Israel within the Democrats.
