Hundreds of US rabbis sign letter against Iran deal

Hundreds of American rabbis have signed an open letter calling on Congress to reject the Obama administration’s deal intended to curb Iran’s nuclear program, adding their voices to an increasingly strident debate splitting the American-Jewish community.

 

“We, the undersigned rabbis, write as a unified voice across religious denominations to express our concerns with the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran,” they wrote in an online petition signed by 871 people.
