‘Radical queer’ female rabbi Jessica Rosenberg who has goatee is blasted for her ‘rabid’ anti-Zionism after befriending ‘Squad’ Democrats including Ilhan Omar
A radical, queer, Jewish leader has become a darling in the eyes of the left after making public her zealous anti-Zionist beliefs.
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, 38, made a name for herself after crashing Joe Biden’s fundraiser in early November as she called for a ceasefire in the war between Hamas in Gaza and Israel.
She paid $1,000 to attend the event just to harass Biden – admitting in an op-ed published by CNN: “It’s a lot of money, but it was a small price to pay for the chance to share my share thoughts with the president. ‘
The Minneapolis-based rabbi was dedicated to the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, Pennsylvania in 2018.
And next March, Rosenberg will publish her book “For Times Such As These: A Radical’s Guide to the Jewish Year,” in which she will proclaim her anti-Israel, anti-racist ideals.

Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg’s striking appearance led to questions about whether she is transgender, but Rosenberg herself consciously avoids the issue
She is also a member of the rabbinical board of Jewish Voice For Peace – the far-left, pro-Palestinian activist group.
Her raging anti-Zionism, especially as a rabbi, has made her a popular figure among left-wing Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
But she is also criticized for taking her stand only out of “fear.”
Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, explained: “Extremist Jews like Rosenberg are truly the most pathetic and fearful of all Jews.
“Their appeasement positions… they believe this will protect them from our enemies physically harming us. This is fear, this is not an ideology,” the newspaper reports NYPost.
Follow the rabbi’s confrontation with the president; she met with Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar this month.
He wrote on X, “I was honored to meet Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, a proud Minnesotan.
“In our powerful conversation, we agreed that true peace can only happen if the current violence ends.
“I sincerely pray for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages.”
Rosenberg has also made her opinion clear in the media. She told CNN that anti-Semitism must end – and that is how you “stand in solidarity with the Jews.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (right) writes on November 16, 2023: “I was honored to meet Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, a proud Minnesotan. In our powerful conversation, we agreed that true peace can only happen if the current violence ends. “I sincerely pray for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages.”
Her raging anti-Zionism, especially as a rabbi, has made her a popular figure among left-wing Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
She said: “I want to say that I know there are many non-Jews who believe that supporting Israel in this war is the way to stand in solidarity with the Jews.
“I want to say that ending anti-Semisim in all places where Jews live is how you stand in solidarity with Jews.”
in her op-edShe also said people are “using” historic anti-Jewish violence – such as Adolf Hitler’s holocaust of six million Jews, the Russian pogroms and the traumatic centuries-old diaspora of the Jewish people – as an excuse to support Israel.
She wrote: “It has deeply troubled me to see centuries of anti-Jewish violence being used to support a violent political agenda in the form of Israeli militarism.”
Rosenberg also wears a goatee during her media appearances. PinkNews reports that the rabbi is suspected of having PCOS, a syndrome that can cause an overproduction of male hormones in a woman, leading to excessive facial hair.
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg stood up during Biden’s speech in Minnesota and told the president, “As a rabbi, I want you to call for a ceasefire right now.”
Biden told her, “I think we need a break. A break means giving time to get the prisoners out.”
He added: “I am the man who convinced Bibi (Netanyahu) to call for a ceasefire to release the prisoners. I am the man who spoke to Egyptian President Sisi to convince him to open the door.”
She describes herself as “a queer Jewish woman, obsessed with Jewish history,” and supports LGBTQ+ rights, as well as Palestinian issues
The White House later clarified that Biden was referring to the hostages — not prisoners — that Hamas held after the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, in which 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.
He was heckled by Rosenberg while speaking to a crowd of 200 donors at a private fundraiser in Minneapolis. The rabbi’s striking appearance raised questions about whether she is transgender, but she says she is cisgender.
Her biography, which appears on several websites, states that she is a Reconstructionist rabbi born, raised and based in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
She became a rabbi to learn the diverse and nuanced history of our people, and to create spaces, rituals and organization that help transform our relationship with the past, present and future.”
She describes itself as “a queer Jewish woman obsessed with Jewish history,” and has championed both LGBTQ+ rights and Palestinian issues.
Long before the current crisis broke out, Rosenberg, who is from Philadelphia, made her anti-Israel beliefs public. She believes in BDS – the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel.
The movement – which Israel itself has long labeled anti-Semitic – believes that Israel “occupies and colonizes Palestinian land, discriminates against Palestinian citizens of Israel, and denies Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes.”
Rosenberg called the BDS movement “common sense” and “aligned with Jewish values.”
A statement co-authored by Rosenberg in July said: “The Palestinian-led movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions is a set of common sense and reasonable demands for justice and human rights, and a clear strategy to get there, all deeply in line with our Jewish values.’
Since the conflict began, tens of thousands of people have protested across the US in support of Palestine, leading to several disturbing anti-Semitic incidents.
Graffiti reading “death to Israel” and “glory to our martyrs” was sprayed on buildings near the Israeli embassy in Washington DC during such a rally earlier in November.
The protests included a controversial chant: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” as a Hezbollah flag flew among the crowds in a show of support for the terrorist organization.
