@lizajsb @DoikaytDiva yes to this.

me coming to terms - slowly, recently - w/ the privilege & toxicity, and finding that in the course I ended up pushing/breaking the/my boundaries of trad egal https://t.co/xVzgOpIClG

@vpcalabrese כיצד נדבר עם החילונים?
מה שהם קוראים אהבה אנחנו קוראים כרת

@mweinraub87 @krdonnelly This is Twitter at its best. Here we go:
- "Rupture and Reconstruction" (essay)
- Esther in Ancient Jewish Thought by Koller
- The Heretical Imperative by Berger
- Love's Labor by Kittay
- The Matter and Form of Maimonides' Guide by Stern
- Munk's Wittgenstein bio

This is just heartbreaking.

@vpcalabrese How can you force us to choose?

If you were interviewing @AdamL, CEO of @HillelIntl tonight about the Jewish future - what would you ask him?

[Adam Lehman @AdamL]

Excited to join @jb_rubenstein of Yale's @SlifkaCenter to discuss how Jewish students today are thinking about identity, community and the wider world—and the implications for the decades to follow. Tomorrow at 8pm ET via @HillelIntl's #HillelAtHome https://t.co/QBcpKVlR7P

[Jason Rubenstein @jb_rubenstein]

talking with @markgerson is *really* fun

This one is for all you folks out there who believe that Judaism is a belief in redeeming the world, even and especially when redemption is hardest to imagine, must less trust in - like @JonahGeffen & @TheRaDR & @rabbijilljacobs

[Mark Gerson - The Rabbi's Husband @markgerson]

@jb_rubenstein Jewish chaplain at Yale University begins with Pesikta de-Rav Kahana 19. We discuss: rebirth of Hebrew and Jewish State, rituals, commitment to Israel, Zionism, function and prayer, and contrast between faith and belief

@rosenfish I love this so much

[Jason Rubenstein @jb_rubenstein]

@scottjshapiro This is very interesting so I will actually have to think about it... in honor of you, I'm going to pause this thread with "lighter replying today to mull over @scottjshapiro's interesting cases and points"

[Jason Rubenstein @jb_rubenstein]

I'll happily cede everything to Hart & @scottjshapiro in exchange for a new word that means "the special kind of law that, in addition to all the reasons for adherence it shares with all other kinds of law, is also backed up by coercion"

[Jason Rubenstein @jb_rubenstein]

@scottjshapiro still trying to wrap my head around why "law" vs "enforceable law" is better than "norm" vs "law"?

@rosenfish Watching them made me realise I've never taken ptsd seriously enough

[Jason Rubenstein @jb_rubenstein]

Anytime @jaredkushner is up for a havrusa (and Harvard reunion), I'm in

[Rabbi Yosef Goldman @yosgold]

Agreed. Jared’s commitment to supporting racism makes him a sinner in Jewish tradition. See this powerful framing by @Yale Jewish chaplain, @jb_rubenstein https://t.co/SdZZDc0zoi

[Jason Rubenstein @jb_rubenstein]

one of history's most dissonant rhymes; haunting footage from Holocaust survivors separated from their parents with strong parallels to US govt's policies - honored to contribute an essay in their memory and in solidarity with those suffering today

[Fortunoff Video Archive @fvaht]

Two years ago @Yale Prof Marci Shore proposed that the Fortunoff Archive use videotaped testimony to highlight the profound impact family separation had on Holocaust survivors.

@RebbeSMZ Appreciating your honesty:

"What are we? What is our strength? What is our wisdom? Even the mightiest are as nothing before you, and the advantages of humanity over animals are vanity"

Your tweet made this line from Neilah real for me like nothing else

even (especially) on the 'Day of Judgment' - God's politics aren't "law and order" & ours shouldn't be either
