As 5,000 Jews come together for #URJBiennial, our hearts break for our family in New Jersey. Despicable antisemitic violence has once taken lives. We thank law enforcement for their quick actions. May the memory of the victims be for a blessing, and may we see an end to hate.

For too long, the Jewish community has remained quiet on reparations. But at #URJBiennial this week, the Reform Movement is going to act. Here I explain why. chicagotribune.com/opinion/commen…

Hotel keys- a great #URJBiennial launch for the Reform Jewish slate for progressive values in Israel in WZO election!

Rabbi Rick Jacobs Rabbi Jonah Pesner 🌠"Let’s step outside our enormous, ever-widening tent tonight long enough to see the stars lighting the sky and the bright future ahead," Rabbi Rick Jacobs Rabbi Rick Jacobs tell us, as he closes tonight's #URJBiennial plenary address.

Rabbi Rick Jacobs URJ Biennial Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism ReformJudaism.org @Kashrut_Cokoa "When marginalized members of your community find the courage to speak up, treat this as a gift – and listen deeply to what they have to say," Rabbi Rick Jacobs tells #URJBiennial. "Take the time to reflect and make an honest accounting of your own actions."

In passing this resolution at the #URJBiennial, the Union for Reform Judaism becomes the first major Jewish organization to confront enduring and systemic racism in the US by calling for a study of reparations.

Thank you #URJBiennial for teaching stories of gender bias.

Grateful to participate in Task Force on Women in the Rabbinate opening session and for #CCAR18 colleagues’ enthusiasm for our work for gender bias dismantling, pay equity, and gender justice in the Reform Mvmt and beyond.

At #CCAR18 Gun Violence Prevention panel: LA city attorney Mike Feuer: we have serious mental health work to do but countries across the globe have mental illness yet not pervasive gun violence.
