“The liberal Zionist vision of Israel has never, for a moment, been the reality of the Jewish state. There’s a human cost to that political commitment, and it comes on the backs of Palestinians" - R4C Founding Director @alissashira.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social

Let the past year and its curses end, let the new year and it's blessings begin. May 5786 see the end of the genocide in Gaza and the beginning of liberation.

We are here to support everyone who wants one, to have a meaningful High Holidays experience. Our Open Communities directory lists dozens of life-affirming Jewish communities eager to warmly welcome you exactly as you are: in your despair, grief, fear, rage, and love. www.opencommunities.info

500 Jews and people of conscience are taking a stand in the pouring rain for life and freedom. Our tradition denounces these horrors and demands we cry out against them. Every human being is created B’tselem Elohim, in the divine image. If there is a hungry person, one must feed them. #NotInOurName

Rabbi Rebecca Zimmerman Hornstein and Rabbi Aron Wander declare “We will make the choice every day to not close our hearts to the enormity of the horror.” “We are not here today because we all agree on everything…But we do agree that our tradition teaches the infinite value of sacred life.”

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of Jews and allies have gathered outside the Israeli Consulate in Boston to decry the ongoing starvation of Gaza. Our Jewish values compel us to demand a ceasefire. To demand aid be allowed into Gaza. To demand our government stop supporting genocide. #JewsSayNoMore

Every life is a universe. Every murder is a desecration of the divine. We are outraged at the horrifying murder of two people outside the Capitol Jewish Museum last night. May the family and friends of Yaron and Sarah be comforted along with all those who mourn.

NEW: Our 5785 Passover supplements compiled by R4C members! The supplements do not shy away from the painful contradictions while also showing deep reverence for tradition. It embodies the liberatory Judaism we are building. Please consider weaving these into your haggadah this year!

Moses begged Pharoah: Let Our People Go! This year as students are abducted by ICE in the US and Palestinians are killed and forced off their land by Israel we say: Let Our People Stay! Let Our People Be Free! Observe Passover with us! More Haggadah supplements coming tomorrow!

Blessings on @sanders.senate.gov head for the powerful speech he just gave on the Senate floor to stop the sale of weapons to Israel. Bombs that will be used to murder and destroy as all humanitarian aid is being blocked to the people of Gaza.

Rabbis to Senate HELP Committee Members: How Dare You Instrumentalize Concern for Jewish Safety to Shield Israel from Accountability In response to the Senate HELP Committee hearing today. Four reasons we reject the basic premise 🧵

Leveling an entire building and murdering dozens to kill one person must be part of this story. Out tolerance for collective punishment as a society is horrifying. We are being ruled by soulless idiots.

Grateful for CFP stepping up to call out Christian Zionism and Christian Nationalism!

Christians for a Free Palestine@xians4palestine.bsky.social · last yr.

“It’s not God’s peace without justice! Free Gaza Now!” These Christian leaders joined our Jewish kin today in beautifully living into the call of Psalm 101:1 and singing of God’s love and justice for Gazans and Palestinians.

Last night 1000+ Jews stood outside of ICE headquarters to call for the return of Mahmoud Khalil, the end of deportations, and the end to attacks on the democracy we need to keep Jews and everyone safe. You can listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Links in reply.
