“I get the sense that you didn’t use that word out of hate, more out of ignorance…Hate is like a virus. Even accidentally, it can rapidly spread. I’m down in Miami fairly often. Let’s do a Shabbat dinner with some friends I’ll show you a fun time,” Edelman, who is Jewish, wrote in an open letter Wednesday.

No word yet on if Leonard will take Edelman up on his offer but he’d have to be a complete tone deaf moron to turn him down.
