“God…is not a force who acts on the world through coercion, violence or the suspension of physics and free will. Instead, God is something that we participate in. God is a verb, an action we bring to the world to make love, justice, mercy, joy and goodness known. Jason Derr

In a murderous time, the heart breaks and breaks, and lives by breaking. It is necessary to go through dark and deeper dark, and not to turn. Stanley Kunitz

We posted about Pride Month. Then the N*zis found it.
Pride is a Jewish value, and we won’t back down from the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

Once again, Republicans in Congress passed legislation to further fund ICE and Border Patrol. A shanda — a shame, a scandal, a disgrace for the ages. Our full statement: www.bendthearc.us/ice_funding_...

Pride is a Jewish value, and we won’t back down from the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. But when we posted this message on X, the response was like nothing we’d ever experienced. But we won’t back down from this fight – and you shouldn’t either. Read the full piece on JDCA’s Substack:

When Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi was asked whether he believed in God, he responded, “No, I don’t believe in God. I experience God, and so can you.”

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

“Shabbat comes with its own holiness; we enter not simply a day, but an atmosphere. We are within the Sabbath rather than the Sabbath being within us. The goal is creating the Sabbath as a foretaste of paradise. ― Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath

Love is a powerful force of healing. Love enables us to truly relax and open. To genuinely love others is to be a channel for God’s love to flow through you. Loving others heals you and the other person as well. To know that one is loved unconditionally by God is healing. Mindy Ribner

One Who Rejoices at Another's Hurt is the Enemy of All When your enemy falls, do not rejoice. When your enemy stumbles, do not be glad. Your glee will corrupt you, your ego will trick you into thinking that you are different from him. One who rejoices at another's hurt is an enemy of all."
