There really are Jewish ninjas
Fearing jihadists will attack synagogues during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a group of badass rabbis has developed a program to turn your average shul-goer into a lean, mean fighting machine.
The group, which calls itself the International Security Coalition of Clergy, was founded by Rabbi Gary Moscowitz, who boasts a black belt in karate, teaches martial arts and was an NYPD cop for nine years.
He’s teaching others basic and advanced fighting moves — how to take down a terrorist by the neck, how to use a table as cover from gunfire and how to execute a nifty running somersault while drawing a gun — that he says can be used by Jews if they’re attacked by terrorists during prayer.

Are you sure this isn’t another case of a newspaper picking up an article from The Onion? Hiding behind a table is unlikely to protect you from gunfire. All but the wimpiest bullets are going to go right through.

Have you heard of Krav Maga? Actually, the Jews were about 50 years ahead of the current craze for MMA.
