About 50 anti-war and anti-torture protesters gathered at Beth El Synagogue on Wednesday afternoon to decry a fundraiser featuring Pres. George W. Bush. As attendees waited by the entrance to the St. Louis Park shul to go through a security check, demonstrators chanted “Arrest George Bush” and “Remember Nuremberg,” in apparent reference to the Allied trials of Nazi war criminals.

The bush fundraiser certainly taints my fond memories of Beth El and makes me want to give back the Chumash I was given in 1958 at my Bar Mitzvah. What a shandeh.
