Is Schumer Frum? Maybe.
Washington Post profile/interview with the scrappy and hard working liberal senator:
"God has been good to me," Schumer says. "And yes, I believe in God." He goes on to explain that he believes in "an intervening God," as opposed to a God who simply "set the forces of the universe in motion" and let man determine his own fate.
Move over Joe Lieberman.
continued:
Schumer was raised as a Reform Jew, but admires modern Orthodoxy's "blend of modernity and tradition."
"Was-" ? And now?
