Are you even preparing for Rosh Hashanah if you aren't calling a trucking company back about a delivery of new outdoor chairs for the community sukkah? j/k. Love to the leaders of RH/YK experiences. I've got Sukkot covered.

What. a. night.

If the pro-Palestine Left is unable to vocalize in this moment a principled opposition to massacre of Israeli civilians- even as we affirm the right of Palestinians to resist brutal apartheid- we are abdicating the values of justice, human rights & dignity we have long espoused

In the midst of this week, I headed down to the state house to testify in support of the #HealthyYouthAct. I love our young people and want them to have the tools they need to make empowered decisions. #whatrabbisdo

For funders ... who are holding to a commitment to Jewish and Palestinian safety and liberation in this unprecedented time: We see you and you’re not alone.

Shabbat comes in at 5:17 tonight. What a blessing and a privilege.

At a minimum.

I’m at the big Israel rally in DC today to document support for Israel’s far-right attack on Gaza, one month in. As news breaks that antisemitic Christian Zionist leader Pastor John Hagee is speaking, I wanted to see the Christian Zionist support with my own eyes

For a month, the people attending today's March for Israel have argued (falsely) that JVP and IfNotNow's members are "fake Jews" -- that they're just providing cover for non-Jewish antisemites. Then they invited notorious Evangelical antisemite John Hagee to speak at their rally.

"What have we become if we are chanting against peace when a child is dying every 10 minutes?"

Hagee's presence at yesterday's rally may have been only a small part of a powerful experience for many -- and it is indicative of a larger problem in our community. We can use that "small part" as an opening to discuss the bigger problem.

“And Yosef recognized his brothers but they did not recognize him.”

Just hopped back on here to let y'all know that the Trans Halakha Project Teshuva Writing Collective Cohort 2 is kicking off today and my heart is so full. #trans #Jewish

Do we want a permanent ceasefire? Yes. Did the organizing by @Listen2michigan work? YES! Our politics need to be grounded in real power. 100k voters showed up, demonstrated power, and the policy is changing. Let’s keep organizing!

I really don’t know what’s going to happen at Columbia — or elsewhere — tonight. But I’m confident that none of it will make Israelis, Palestinians, Jews, or anyone else safer. 💔

"there are between 20 to 50 protesters in hamilton hall which is completely disproportionate to the police response we are seeing tonight." - brave student journalists on air just now WKCR-FM NY

The fact that police officers would rather punch, tear gas and arrest your child at school than protect them should be a wake-up call for a lot of people.

I do not have the bandwidth to give WBUR and Meghna Chakrabarti the feedback they need about their coverage today. I was disappointed to hear this study being platformed, and further disappointed to hear the ideas of social contagion being seeded in the followup convo.
