The irony of the people who are responsible for making COVID so much worse than it needed to be convincing themselves they were right all along & it was really the people helping who are to blame for what they did. It just staggers the imagination.

Vayikra. The book nobody wants to read. Full of blood and ritual and rules about offerings. Also, the most honest book in Torah about what it actually costs to be in relationship with God, with each other, with the stranger.

A donor asked if I’d be interested in a public conversation with @PeterBeinart about Israel, Gaza, and Palestine.
I said no. Read what I said yes to.

@ubereats_il What do you want to know?

[Rabbi Sandra Lawson @rabbisandra]

How are you all doing?

The frantic texts and calls during a synagogue shooting have become far too common for the Jewish community. And that fear is precisely the point.

[Amy Spitalnick @amyspitalnick]

Just disgusting bigotry that should have no place here — and that every official has a responsibility to reject even if they don’t agree with @Ilhan’s policies.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

How is X this days?

Jillian Michaels is the perfect example of how someone who is Jewish, queer, and the parent of a Black child, can still be transphobic, racist, and support white supremacist revisionist history.

Who are these rabbis? I only see one who lives in NC.

[Jacob N. Kornbluh @jacobkornbluh]

full page ad in the Charlotte Observer signed by more than 100 rabbis calls on Jews “not to support or collaborate with North Carolina's Democratic Party leadership until they renounce” their executive committee’s arms embargo on Israel resolution.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!

[Amy Spitalnick @amyspitalnick]

Putting everything else aside, I am just terrified about efforts to exploit the escalation with Iran to further undermine Jewish safety & security and our democracy at an already-frightening moment for both.
