If you receive a terse email supposedly from me, do not reply. Forward it to the synagogue office. If I ask you for gift cards, do the same. I have NOT been hacked, but someone is spoofing my email. Synagogue emails come from https://t.co/HGTGlVu6GK not gmail.

[Rabbi Debora Gordon @RebDebGordon]

BEWARE SCAM EMAILS: Phishing/Scam emails are going out in my name. If it says it's from me, check the sender's address and make sure it's from https://t.co/HGTGlVu6GK. I will NEVER ask for money, gift cards, etc via email. If you're suspicious, **forward** it to me and ask.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison: "I would not call today's verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration. But it is accountability, which is the first step toward justice."

It’s a view I often stop and photograph on Pinewoods Ave in Troy. This is my first try at painting it. There will surely be others! #dsgphotoart

OK, this is the really cool way I read #Torah yesterday. #ZoomWorship (I didn't record my voice because I wanted to chant it live.)

[Rabbi Debora Gordon @RebDebGordon]

I donated to help this #TroyNY family who lost everything this morning in a house fire. Will you join me?

.@baratunde tells CBSN why Black History Month should also be "Black Future Month":

"The idea of Black Future Month, as I interpret it, is to paint a picture of the month we want to live in — not just the one we were granted to remember some of the sins of the past"

22-year-old Nakia Smith uses her TikTok platform to make educational videos about Black American Sign Language. Nakia explains that the dialect was developed in the 1800s because schools for the deaf were segregated.

The #FairnessDoctrine was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance & to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced. The #FCC eliminated the policy in 1987.

[Rabbi Debora Gordon @RebDebGordon]

Preparing for the #HighHolyDays this year is strange, but the Jewish people have had to make changes in our worship style before. Rabbi Elyse Goldstein offers some suggestions for turning your home into sacred space, a /mikdash m'at/, a small sanctuary.

If your self-reflection trends more to #hiphop than high-holy, try “RAP-ENTANCE: The High Holy Days #Remixed” by Rabbi @alexkress. #Elul5780 https://t.co/BQOt4Gb2Qi
