Three years after October 7 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust - we remember and we mourn. And three years later, it is painfully clear how that day - and everything that has followed - have only reinforced trauma, division, and fear.

This #LGBTQHistoryMonth, we honor Jewish leaders who shaped history: Betty Berzon, Edie Windsor, Harvey Milk, Rabbi Stacy Offner, & so many more. Jewish values call us to uphold dignity & inclusion — faith must never be used to justify exclusion.

The headline reads “LGBTQ+ History Month,” and the JCPA — Jewish Council for Public Affairs logo appears at the bottom.

As we mark this painful anniversary, we are seeing extreme voices exploit 9/11 to renormalize Islamophobia. We know precisely where this leads – and that it makes all of our communities less safe. We all have an obligation to reject this hate.

In my experience, many people do not know what the "blood libel" is, which is true of most antisemitic myths! But it leads to the term being colloquially misused. That's why I wrote this short piece in 2024 that explains the libel clearly and why it still matters today. Gift link:

Gloria Steinem was a fierce force for not just equality but dignity. Misogyny is the bedrock of every hate movement, and cynics turned "feminism" into a four-letter word, but she never wavered in her cause and commitment.
