Read Rabbi Joshua Hammerman’s recent blog post in the Times of Israel here. Read an excellent article by Rabbi Eric Yoffie, the recently retired leader of the Union for Reform Judiasm. He calls the indiscriminate distribution of guns a religious issue and calls on all clergy (rabbis, imam, ministers, priests) to take the moral offensive.
