Driving his car on Warwick Ave. in Rhode Island my friend -also a "
socialist Jew " supporter of Bernie Sanders- noticed two cars with
Bernie stickers just ahead of him. He pointed them out to me.
We did not spot any Hillary signs or stickers that Sunday afternoon.
Why would my Jewish friend from a prosperous background support socialist Bernie ?
For a while this year he was living in that broken down Lincoln Town Car. His mother's family was traumatized by the Holocaust-which made him sensitive to social problems-like homelessness and refugees.
Senator Bernie Sanders' background is described by socialist writer Irving Howe in " World of Our Fathers ". That world produced few " fakes ".
