Andrew Klavan: Apostate Jew

Andrew Klavan is an apostate Jew who abandoned his faith years ago to convert to Christianity. Those Jews who celebrate him and share his material online, speak volumes about themselves. From a Torah perspective, such a person is deemed a "meshumad", and we consider such a person an enemy of the Jewish people. 

Klavan's affability or talent should have no bearing on how dignified, self-respecting Jews view him. After all, this is a man who once did an interview with "Jews For Jesus" (may their names and memories be erased). 

The fact that he often makes good points exposing the godless left in America, or that the kipah-wearing Ben Shapiro frequently shares his material is irrelevant. Klavan is a dangerous person. And because of his likable nature and articulate delivery, he represents a dangerous threat when religious Jews give him a pass on his apostasy. Sanitize such a man, and one of the most important barriers against assimilation will have been trampled.
