is circling the internet that Jared Loughner was Jewish and belonged to the same synagogue as Rep. Gifford. Talk about making a story up out of thin air, this is it. When I received the missive my hair went up in flames and I began to research the web site and found that it is considered by law enforcement as a neo-Nazi site. I called Congregation Chaverim and spoke to a lady in the Rabbi's office and she said she would have the Congregation President call me. I very promptly received a call. We spoke for a few minutes, I told him the story and he said he would e-mail me a written statement. Which I have posted below.
Dear Barbara,On Chaverim's web site..Congregation Chaverim would like to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support during this difficult time and to tell you how much we appreciate the kind words of sympathy and friendship we are receiving from the Tucson community and across the country. In this time of great stress and division, it it reassuring to know that a loving spirit and the desire for peace is still strong. We are doing our best to respond to all messages but as the demands for a few minutes of Rabbi's time have greatly increased, we must ask for patience and understanding as we deal with high volume of e-mails and phone calls. We understand that the family of Gabrielle Giffords has requested that donations be made to the Community Food Bank. Donations to the Congregation Chaverim General Fund are also welcome.Our prayers and thoughts go out to all who were affected by this terrible tragedy.With the blessings of Shalom,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the Loughner family and Congregation Chaverim. We have researched our records back to the year 1980, and can make the following statement:
No member of the Loughner family is a member of Congregation Chaverim. Furthermore, a review of membership records over the past 31 years indicates that at no time was anyone with that last name a member of this congregation. In addition, we are unaware of anyone from that family ever attending any Chaverim function.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Media Caught Hiding Fact Loughner Is Jewish
1-11-11
This is an amazing story. We now learn that Jared Lee Loughner's mother Amy Loughner is a member of the SAME Reform synagogue as Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords! That means that Amy's son, who lives with his Jewish parents, Amy and Randy Loughner, is ALSO a member of the same synagogue as his shooting victim, Rep. Giffords. Why didn't we hear about this from our super-sleuth national media?
Instead, we hear that a 'WHITE MAN' is the shooter. We hear that 'ANTI-SEMITISM' is his motive. (Mass Mind Control anyone?)
But now...now...some FACTS are leaking out!
His best friend, Bryce Tierney, who got a "farewell" voice message the night before the shootings tells us that his friend is Jewish. He tells us that Jared Loughner put Mein Kampf down as "favorite reading" to irritate his Jewish mother, Amy.
The story and the coverup of the story gets wilder. The Loughners and the Giffords were members of the same Congregation Chaverim. On the Congregation Chaverim website we learn that this Reform synagogue that was founded in 1973 has 140 families. That's a very small group. The Rabbi, Stephanie Aaron surely knows every single family member of her congregation on a first name basis! That includes 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner.
So, it is IMPOSSIBLE that Rabbi Stephanie Aaron did not KNOW instantly upon learning that a Jared Lee Loughner had shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords that BOTH people were members of her small congregation!
But does Rabbi Aaron make ANY effort to inform the media, as she takes hundreds and hundreds of media calls from the mass media, of this fact? Apparently not!
