Hey, New York Times – Leave My God Alone!

I like snark. Rapier-like sarcasm; biting social satire. I am all in. But, theo-snark? Not so much. Theo-snark is a good term for the Passover "gift," the oped "afikomen," that The New York Times gave its Jewish readers just in time for the spring festival of freedom. I am referring to Shalom Auslander's essay, "In This Time of War, I Propose We Give Up God." Auslander is a novelist and short story writer and a refugee from a yeshiva education in Spring Valley, New York. I have admired his writing for many years.
