SOME SLIPPERY SLOPES IN ASPEN - NEWS ON JEWS AND FUN WITH NUNS |
click here for the article Whats wrong with this story? There is a place in Aspen, CO called the Silver Lining Ranch that was supposed to be sold to Chabad of Aspen, the Jewish resource center. The ranch was founded by ex-tennis star and now nun Andrea Jaeger who has made this her lifes work. You see, the ranch gives terminally ill children a place to play happily and comfortably for their time left on this earth so they can feel like full humans. Due to economic hardships at her foundation she couldnt fund the operation, so she wanted to sell the ranch property to Rabbi Mendel Mintz (of Chabad) for $13.5 million in an agreement where both organizations would benefit from the 6.5 acre property. It would be renovated to be a Center for Jewish Life and simultaneously serve as a camp for the terminally ill children. Sounds like the happy ending to a 1930's movie of the star athlete nun and the enterprising rabbi working together. Somehow the local residents put such legal pressure on Chabad that they had to withdraw their offer. We at the Faux suspect that at a Chabad center for Jewish life there might be some Jews around the place. I mean, what gives it away? While these folks will deny it, this is clearly anti-Semitic. Chabad didnt want a multi-year court battle which would leave these ill children with nothing in the meantime. I would love to know to political background of the people who have stopped this "awful" union of an enterprising rabbi and a charitable nun. Those who read us regularly probably already know.
