A Rabbi, a Mormon and a Black Christian Mayor Walk into a Room
At CNN, Jessica Ravitz describes the unlikely bond between Cory Booker, Shmuley Boteach, and Michael Benson. “If the friendship between these men–a black Christian mayor, a rabbi running for Congress and a Mormon university president–wasn’t so real, this would sound like a bad joke,” writes Ravitz. “Instead, it’s a reflection of how three men from profoundly different backgrounds met 20 years ago, connected and changed one another.”
