Just a Jewish Preacher

From the Washington Post, Kerry speaks to the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish organization:

Rather than dwell on the uncertainties of the present, Kerry devoted much of his talk to personal reminiscence. In animated tones, he spoke of his first visit to Israel, which he said was under the auspices of the ADL and the late Leonard P. 'Lenny' Zakim, longtime director of the group's New England chapter. Kerry said he went to the Golan Heights, visited the Sea of Galilee and 'actually stood on the Mount of the Beatitudes and read the Sermon on the Mount to those gathered with me.'

A couple of questions: Kerry spoke to the ADL about Jesus? Not sure what he was thinking about that. Not sure you want to bring up Jesus to a group of Jews. But that just might be me. Next, did Kerry intend to play the role of Jesus? Not sure you want to do that, either.
