Sarah Silverman's Dad Came to Her Defense

Sarah Silverman has an awesome dad, Donald Silverman.  He came to Sarah's defense after Rabbi Yaakov Rosenblatt penned an open letter in the Jewish Press criticizing her for pursuing a career instead of settling down and having babies.  Donald posted a spirited defense of Sarah in the comments section, which included this comment, written to someone who asked if Sarah needed her father to come to her defense:

Hey asshole: Daughter #1 is a rabbi. Not by your standards. She’s reform. How dare she, a lowly woman think god wants her to be a rabbi, created from a mere rib. Her hubby, three times nominated for a nobel peace prize was listed by the Jerusalem Post as the 49th most influential jew in the world built the worlds largest solar field in israel. By the way, Sarah was also on the list. I missed your name. Oldest granddaughter is serving in the Israel Defense Forces. I’m sure you also served.Oh I forgot the orthodox don’t do that. You don’t f– with my family."

Donald's comments is referring to Sarah's older sister, Susan, who is a rabbi and lives in Jerusalem.  She is married to Jewish leader Yosef Abramowitz, who was nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
