980 US rabbis sign petition opposing Iran deal
 [IsraelTimes] 'Deeply troubled' by nuclear agreement, holy mans exhort Congress to reject it.
As of Thursday early afternoon, more than 980 rabbis had signed the online letter, which says that the hope for a good deal “is not yet realized.” The petition was posted on the Care2 website earlier this month and remains open until Sept. 7, with a goal of 1,000 signatures.
| As of 9:20 a.m. ET, there were 1,106 rabbinic signatures, and the goal was raised to 2,000. |
In mid-August, a petition urging support for the nuclear deal with Iran signed by 340 US rabbis from the major denominations of Judaism and sponsored by Ameinu, a liberal Zionist organization, was sent to Congress.
| Much like the senior military officers for and against, oddly enough. |
