Stephen Miller’s Former Rabbi Slams Him at Rosh Hashanah Services over Family Separation

HeadlineSep 12, 2018

The former rabbi of White House adviser Stephen Miller—the architect of the family separation policy—condemned Miller during a fiery speech during services for Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year. Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels of Beth Shir Shalom in Santa Monica, California, said, “From the Jewish perspective, the parent-child relationship is sacrosanct. Disrupting it is cruel. Mr. Miller, the policy you helped to conceive and put into practice is cruel.”
