ROSEANNE BARR - I'M DONE WITH THE U.S. ... I'm Moving to Israel

Roseanne Barr is throwing in the towel and leaving the U.S.

Barr appeared on Rabbi Shmuley's podcast and said she's headed for Israel ... first she says for a few months to study, but then she talks about a full-on move -- "I have an opportunity to go to Israel for a few months and study with my favorite teachers over there, and that's where I'm going to go and probably move somewhere there and study with my favorite teachers."

Barr says she made a "fatal mistake" -- apologizing for her racist comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett. She says when the left gets hold of an apology from someone on the other side of the political spectrum they don't let it go and eventually destroy their adversary.

Barr, who is a deeply religious Jew, goes on to say, "I have some mental health issues and depression and stuff. I got to stay in the middle or I'll go dark and I don't want to go dark again."

John Goodman just said Roseanne's gonna be killed off at the beginning of the reboot, "The Conners." As for moving to Israel, Barr says, "I have saved a few pennies and I'm so lucky I can go."

39. Lol, the author of "Kosher Lust: Love Is Not the Answer"?
Mon Sep 3, 2018, 08:15 PM
Sep 2018

I went and grabbed this from back in 2014 because this attention-seeking creep is a hoot in a tiny dose from a large distance. I didn't realize Roseanne knew him.

From Haaretz: Could Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Please Get Out of Our Beds Already?
Jewish sex-pert's new book 'Kosher Lust: Love Is Not the Answer' is exploding in his face with charges ranging from closeted misogyny to promoting rape culture.

"...in which he makes the pitch that “it is not love, but lust that is the glue of a marriage.”

He promises that if we all follow his lead, we will “restore lust to its rightful place as the central pillar of marriage.”

It all sounds awfully familiar.

But this time, the reaction is different. 2014 is not 1999. These days, women - Jewish women in particular - have little tolerance for a male ultra-Orthodox rabbi telling them what they want - and they are giving him a piece of their minds online and across social media.

And make no mistake - Boteach is, quite literally, telling married women what they want. Specifically, in a column he penned in The Huffington Post titled, naturally, “What Women Really Want.”

And what do (presumably all) women want in Boteach-world? “Women are not looking just for love in a marriage; they are primarily looking for lust. A woman wants to be wanted, needs to be needed, desires to be desired. A woman does not go into marriage principally to be loved; she goes into marriage to be lusted after …. This is what a woman thirsts to hear more than anything: "I desire you. I want to be physical with you. Your beauty is overwhelming to me. I cannot control myself around you. I find myself thinking about you constantly and I have to have you - I don't care what the consequences are. I don't care if we don't go to sleep tonight and we have to get the kids to school in the morning; there are no physical considerations that can suppress my desire for you." That's what women want and need to hear; that's what will melt a woman, because it taps into her core desire.”

Yuck! 1999 wasn't his 1999. I wish him and Roseanne each other, lots and lots of each other.

Me.

She was raised LDS, and as an adult has not been devout at all, even dressing up as Hitler taking a tray of burned cookies out of the oven in a photo for a most un-devout Jewish "comedy" mag.

She also is a many-times divorced woman who is currently living in sin, and has had an illegitimate child (I do not think any of this is a sin, but it is to a devout Jew).

She literally has never made her Jewish identity or her religion as part of anything about her life.

in any sense of the word.

She is apparently an Jewish in that her maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she has never practiced in any accepted stream of Judaism I could find.


What little I did find says she was/is active in the Kabballah Center, which has been denounced by every accepted stream of Judaism.

Find a good doctor, Rosanne. You need one.

They have "socialized" medicine, at least by Trump-fan-club standards, so you might be able to find one without costing everything you have.

Not sure where TMZ pulled that one from.

Also, she was very anti-Israel for a number of years and then flipped for some reason.

Is she "through with the US" and planning to move to Israel permanently, or just "studying with her favorite teachers" at least until her "favorite teachers" find out about the Nazi photos and recommend she change to whatever church Trump claims to attend?
