Shanah Tovah, New York! Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).

We wrote to the MoCo Council in response to a letter from EndJewHatred about increased antisemitism in the County. We urge the county council to read the letter with a critical eye and to not conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Read the letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

We have literal neo-Nazis working in the administration and still, little concern relative to Mamdani. It's a reminder that for many, it's not just that they associate anti-Israel rhetoric with antisemitism. It's that it is their ONLY definition, and antisemitism unrelated to Israel is ignored.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

A beautifully written essay. "We’re not allowed to kill people. We’re not. I’m totally clear on this...Why does it feel like a shameful betrayal to say this out loud in Jewish spaces?" Because intra faith conflicts are the hardest and lately our leaders have made denial an unhappy choice.

Screenshot of On Finding Our Temple Covered in Blood by Joelle Novey

We’re the people who will be known in the United States for the rest of my life as the people who equivocated and defended the horrors the IDF is perpetrating in Gaza now. What is known only to God now will become known to the world. When Jewish leaders make space for “pluralism” and assure me that people like me are still welcome, it treats defending the killing of 14 pages of babies as a normal difference of opinion that a moral community can tolerate. My head explodes. I know this war is not because of American Jews. But we need to reckon with why our own religious community, descended from generations of reverent ancestors who never wavered from proclaiming the Oneness of God — why our religious leaders and institutions cannot say, with clarity, that the grotesque violence against a trapped civilian population in Gaza is indefensible and wrong. Starving people as a weapon of war is wrong. Torturing and humiliating people is wrong. This is the kind of thing that should be at the heart of what our communities exist to say in the world, not a marginal area of legitimate disagreement.

I’m not a rabbi. I’m not a theologian. I’m not an expert on international politics. But I know what is holy because I experience it myself, and I know for sure that we’re not allowed to kill people.
