This Shabbat, we will begin rereading the Torah, starting with Genesis:

"And G-d said, Let there be light: and there was light."

Shabbat shalom! 🕯🕯

(P.S. Please let me know if you would like me to continue to post a weekly quote from the Parsha).

1/ We unequivocally condemn Pres. Trump's issuance of 1,500 pardons and commuted sentences for Jan 6 insurrectionists, including leaders & members of extremist groups. This decision undermines accountability & risks reinvigorating violent extremists and other insurrectionists. 🧵

@jfederations May they all be released soon and may there be a secure and lasting peace.

[Jewish Community Relations Council of Atlanta @JCRCAtlanta]

May they all be returned home quickly and may a secure peace ensue.

[The Jewish Federations of North America @jfederations]

@JFederations welcome news of a deal to release dozens of hostages, create a framework for releasing all the hostages, and allow Israel a path forward to protect the safety and security of its citizens.

@BrianaCap Hi @BrianaCap , thank you for the kind words. As Fire Chief of Redondo Beach your post truly lifted our spirits. This is a video taken while @RedondoBeachFD Engine 61 in midst of fighting fire as 80mph winds tried to test their resolve, but could never break our spirits

May his memory be a blessing.

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

We are devastated to announce that the IDF has confirmed that American-Israeli hostage Omer Neutra (21) was murdered by Hamas on October 7.

His body remains held hostage in Gaza.

Our hearts are with Omer’s parents, Orna and Ronen, and his family, who have fought tirelessly for his release over the past 14 months.

May Omer’s memory be a blessing.

Freedom cannot exist under the duress of fear. We appreciate all who work for a safe, nonviolent election season.

🚨CSSE statement on the @FBI investigating what appears to be “an attempted assassination” on former President Trump:

“Mere weeks after the attempted assassination in PA we are once again met with political violence and an alleged attempt on former President Trump’s life…”

One area that is not controversial in the #IHRA definition: Blaming Jews for the death of Jesus is antisemitic. It has been the most consistent, most used excuse for Jew-hatred for nearly 2,000 years.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews.

Read the bill text and contemporary examples of antisemitism like #9.
