T’ruah means a shout, a battle cry for justice, a joyful noise that calls us toward collective liberation.
I was honored to celebrate the work of Rabbi Jill Jacobs and @truahrabbis at their gala. This year’s honorees, including New York’s own Gili Getz, remind us that solidarity is a practice.
As Tehillim teaches: “Fortunate are the ones who know this joyful shout.”
Grateful to be in this struggle for justice alongside you.
@NYCMayor@truahrabbis Thank you for celebrating with us. Deeply appreciate it ❤️
Together we can build a New York City for all of us and help bring peace, justice and security to both Palestinians and Israelis.
Frmr Meretz MK @mossi_raz, now running for the HaDemocratim Knesset slate, says he's worried about possible moves to disqualify parties representing the Arab community; and rejects the "racist discourse", even of anti-Netanyahu leaders like Bennett, Lapid.https://t.co/FevBWxK54y
It was my honor to be with @maozinon and @AzizAbuSarah as we met with Senator @ChrisVanHollen to discuss "The Future is Peace". Aziz and Maoz are inspirational leaders who are showing the world the path forward.
So proud of my friend @giligetz for receiving T’ruah’s Raphael Lemkin Human Rights Award. His work to advance the voices of Israelis and Palestinians in New York and beyond has been immense.
The Mayor cheering me on! Epic night.
Thank you @truahrabbis for your moral Jewish leadership. For your Torah. For your commitment to Jewish values. It was a great honor to receive this award. Until all of us are free.
Bezalel Smotrich is a far-right extremist whose hateful and divisive rhetoric is fundamentally at odds with the values we hold dear in New York.
Yesterday’s parade was a celebration of Jewish pride, community, and unity. I strongly condemn his participation.
האסטרטגיה של ממשלת נתניהו למול לבנון רעה לישראל; רצועת ביטחון היא מרחב מוות, שמחזק את חיזבאללה פנימית, הרצועה תביא למוות יומיומי ולא תביא ביטחון. היינו שם, אנחנו רואים את זה עכשיו. גם צהל לא מסוגל יותר בכל הגזרות, אם ישראל תמשיך להתעלם מהשדה המדיני לעולם לא יהיה לנו ביטחון. אנחנו רואים שלכוח יש גבול ומחיר שישראל לא צריכה לשלם.
Bezalel Smotrich who is overseeing and advancing ethnic cleansing, war crimes, terrorism and annexation is marching in the Israel Parade. I wish even a fraction of the outrage directed at Mayor Mamdani for not marching was directed at who is marching. In our name.
