My neighbor Larry Yudelson has made good on his promise – threat? — to write a rebuttal to David Klinghoffer’s recent polemic, How Would God Vote: Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Conservative.

How Would God REALLY Vote? A Jewish Response to David Klinghoffer, written by Larry and Yori Yanover, is out from Larry’s own Ben Yehuda Press.

According to the catalogue:

In “How Would God Vote,” David Klinghoffer claims that “The Bible Commands You to Be a Conservative.”

We disagree. How Would God REALLY Vote: A Jewish Rebuttal to David Klinghoffer explores Klinghoffer’s book, showing the errors of commission and omission. It examines Biblical verse and Rabbinical commentary overlooked by Klinghoffer, even as it analyzes the actual consequences of taking Klinghoffer’s beliefs and arguments seriously.

Oh, it’s on. It’s on.

By the way, Larry reminds me that he belongs on my list of former “mentees,” mentioned in my column last week, who have gone on to publish books. Years ago I edited him at the Washington Jewish Week when he was freelancing from New York and Jerusalem.
