2. Sad...really
BJL ,   usa   (01.07.12)
The downward slide continues. A charicature of Jews. They are devoid of Yiddishkeit. Yet somehow claim to be "Jews"
3. so annoying
k ,   US   (01.07.12)
just another annoying "self hating" Jew who has to suck up to the masses while putting down other Jews, but she makes alot of money and that is all she cares about

E. G. Marsch ,   Nahariya   (01.07.12)
Google "Sarah Silverman Holocaust YouTube." She should be permanently excommunicated from the Jewish people. She is despicable.

11. I saw her once.
Gideon Reader   (01.07.12)
It was akin to "catching" one's self in one's trouser zipper. Something not to be enjoyed and always to be recollected. Out of respect to the other theater goers, We (wife person and I) waited until the second not funny bit of humorless sthick was hurled (Hurl. GOOD word when speaking of Ms.Silverman's end product) before we rose and left. Happily we were able to take in a live performance of a local jazz pianist; who tore the house down with glittering talent. Talent. Hmmm. A quality not in possession of nor to be used to describeing this miserable un-funny young woman.
12. "Look at the Repblican candidates!"
Steve   (01.07.12)
Rabbi Susan Silverman is asked: "Has your view of the United States changed as you've been living in Israel? And of American society?" Susan Silverman: "Well, look at the Republican candidates; my lord!" Sarah Silverman (author of "The Great Schlep") : "It's like the bar scene in Star Wars."
13. Just as well
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.07.12)

Rachel ,   New York, USA   (01.07.12)
I think Sarah is really a brave woman who isn't ashamed to be who she is..there are not too many people who can unashamedly be him/herself like Sarah can
17. You bet!!!! She is.
Mark ,   US   (01.08.12)
18. Sarah Silverman
Marvin Crane ,   Parsippany   (01.08.12)
Her in interview demonstrates why the American Jewish Community is doomed.
19. The comment on Republican candidates: spot on!
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.08.12)
-and I H-A-T-E Obama!!!! She's Jewish, she's funny, she's a misguided Democrat, what can we do? We have natural-born Israelis demonstrating alongside Arabs against "occupation"! Let's not throw stones here folks! Oh, she's easy on the eyes too....
20. DROP HER OFF IN GAZA.
(01.08.12)
21. Heard her once - please not again
rebecca ,   Modiin   (01.08.12)
She certainly does not represent my Judaism. She only had negative things to say. Some people find that funny. I find it cruel.
22. The Sisters Silverman
Verna ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.23.14)
So sorry these two siblings have not taken time to learn what Judaism does in the way of laws and observances. Believing in mixed marriages are not one of the agreed upon laws. Jews, inorder to marry must both be Jewish according to Jewish law. The laws according to the Torah are held in the highest esteem. Try to observe one Shabbat according to Torah law and you will really enjoy it. Good luck in your quest for the truth.
