In this Election Season, Words Matter

In this week’s Faith On the Record, Rabbi Brad Hirschfield highlights the verbal inflation that has occurred in the media, where the Black Lives Matters movement has been held up as equal to the Ku Klux Klan and Erin Andrews’s stalker has been labeled a Terrorist. “Words matter” he reminds us, “according to Scripture, the world is called into being with words and I hope as we enter an election season that gets crazier and crazier, that we can resist the temptation towards this kind of verbal inflation.”
