A radical, queer, Jewish leader has become a darling in the eyes of the left after publicizing her anti-Zionist beliefs.
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, 38, made a name for herself after she crashed Joe Biden's fundraiser at the beginning of November, as she demanded for a ceasefire in the war between Hamas in Gaza and Israel.
She paid $1,000 to get into the event, just to heckle Biden - and admitted in an opinion piece published by CNN: 'It's a lot of money, but it was a small price to pay for the chance to share my thoughts with the president.'

Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg's striking appearance gave rise to questions as to whether she is trans, but Rosenberg herself deliberately avoids the issue
The Minneapolis-based Rabbi was ordained at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, Pennsylvania in 2018.
She is also a member of the rabbinical council of Jewish Voice For Peace - the far left, pro-Palestinian activist group.
Her raging anti-Zionism, especially as a rabbi, has made her a popular figure among the left-wing Democratic members of the US House of Representatives.
But she's also been slammed for only taking her stance out of 'fear.'
Mort Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America, explained: 'Extremist Jews like Rosenberg, are truly the most pathetic and frightened of all the Jews.
'Their positions of appeasement … they believe this will protect them from our enemies physically harming us. This is fear, this is not an ideology,' reports the NYPost.
Follow the Rabbi's confrontation with the president, she met with Minnesota's Representative Ilhan Omar this month.
He wrote on X: 'I was honored to meet with Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, a proud Minnesotan.
'In our powerful conversation, we agreed that true peace can only happen when the current violence ends.
'I sincerely pray for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages.'
Rosenberg has also made her opinions clear in the media. She told CNN that antisemitism needs to end - and that is how you 'stand in solidarity with Jews.'

She said: 'I want to say I know there are many non-jews who believe that supporting Israel in this war is how to stand in solidarity with Jews.
'I want to say that ending antisemisim in all the places that Jews live, that is how you stand in solidarity with Jews.'
in her opinion piece, she also said that people are 'using' historical anti-Jewish violence - like Adolf Hitler's holocaust of six millions Jews, the Russian pogroms, and the traumatic centuries-old diaspora of the Jewish people - as an excuse to support Israel.
She wrote: 'It has caused me profound anguish to see how centuries of anti-Jewish violence are being used to support a violent political agenda in the form of Israeli militarism.'
Rosenberg also sports a goatee on her media appearances. PinkNews reports that the rabbi is believed to have PCOS, a syndrome which can create an overproduction of male hormones in a woman, leading to excess facial hair.
Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg stood up during Biden's speech in Minnesota and told the president: 'As a rabbi, I need you to call for a ceasefire right now.'
Biden told her: 'I think we need a pause. A pause means give time to get the prisoners out.'
He added: 'I'm the guy that convinced Bibi (Netanyahu) to call for a ceasefire to let the prisoners out. I'm the guy that talked to (Egyptian President) Sisi to convince him to open the door.'
She describes herself as 'a queer Jewish woman obsessed with Jewish history', and has championed LGBTQ + rights, as well as Palestinian issues
The White House later clarified that Biden was referring to the hostages - not prisoners - held by Hamas after its October 7 attack on Israel in which 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.
He was heckled by Rosenberg while speaking to a crowd of 200 donors at a private Minneapolis fundraiser. The rabbi's striking appearance gave rise to questions as to whether she is trans - but she herself says she is cisgender.
Her biography, which appears on various websites, states she is a Reconstructionist rabbi born, raised, and based in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
She became a rabbi in order to learn our people's diverse and nuanced histories, and create spaces, ritual, and organizing that helps transform our relationship to past, present and future.'
She describes herself as 'a queer Jewish woman obsessed with Jewish history', and has championed LGBTQ+ rights, as well as Palestinian issues.
Long before the current crisis broke out, Rosenberg, who is from Philadelphia, has publicized her anti-Israel beliefs. She believes in BDS - the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.
The movement - which Israel itself has long slammed as antisemitic - believes that Israel is 'occupying and colonising Palestinian land, discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel and denying Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes.'
Rosenberg called the BDS movement 'common sense' and 'aligned with Jewish values.'
A statement co-written by Rosenberg in July read: 'The Palestinian-led movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions is a set of common sense and reasonable demands for justice and human rights, and a clear strategy to get there, all deeply aligned with our Jewish values.'
Since the beginning of the conflict, tens of thousands of people have come out in protest, supporting Palestine, across the US - resulting in several disturbing anti-Semitic incidents.
Graffiti reading 'death to Israel' and 'glory to our martyrs' was sprayed on buildings near the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC earlier in November during one such rally.
Controversial chant, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' rang out throughout the protests, while a Hezbollah flag was spotted flying in the masses showing support for the terrorist organization.
