Does God have a bailout plan for Detroit auto makers? Area churches, both Protestant and Catholic, are praying that God does. How about Jews?
Why are no synagogues mentioned in the coverage of religious institutions whose members are asking for God to help save the auto industry? Are Jews not participating in this new call upon the Almighty? Actually, is there anything new about this?
People petition god for eeverything else, so why not this? Just this week, thousands of Israeli rabbis and their students prayed for rain in the drought-stricken holy land. So how about a few prayers for the economically starved auto industry? Why not?
Or could there be good reasons for the distinction? Does the notion of organized prayer on behalf of a particular industry make sense to you?
