Bearing Witness is more than a vigil. It is an opportunity to stand with farm workers and remind our communities that no one should lose their life simply for going to work. 📍 Halifax Mall 🕟 Friday, July 24 | 4:30 PM RSVP here: nfwm.org/news/farm-wo...

In Parshat Matot-Masei, the Torah remembers every stop in the wilderness journey. Most were temporary, but each mattered. Movements are built the same way—not only through big victories, but through relationships, conversations, and small acts of courage that shape the road ahead.

Carolina Jews for Justice is deeply troubled by the Supreme Court's decision allowing the administration to end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have built lives, families, and communities in the United States. www.carolinajewsforjustice.org/cjj_statemen...

One year ago this month, I said yes to leading Carolina Jews for Justice, and the work has only just begun.

I believe Jewish communities in North Carolina have a powerful role to play in building a more just future. My job is to organize us. To take our values off the page and into our communities, the halls of power, and the places where people need us to show up.

Our Jewish values don’t let us look away. They call us to pursue justice, strengthen community, and take responsibility for the world around us.

That is exactly what we are building here in North Carolina.

If you’re a Jewish North Carolinian, or someone who believes in what we’re doing, I want you with us.

📌 Follow this page.
📬 Join our mailing list.
💪 Let’s build this together.

This is the work. I’m glad to be in it with you.

Jewish tradition teaches that every person is created b’tzelem Elohim — in the image of God. Discrimination and gerrymandering undermine that sacred truth. We join partners across NC in calling for a state Voting Rights Act. @commoncausenc.bsky.social act.commoncause.org/petitions/te...

May we keep fighting antisemitism — like all oppressions — in solidarity with our neighbors. Together we can build a country where all are safe and free.

Today, our democracy is under threat. The NC Senate has approved a new congressional map that redraws districts to guarantee partisan outcomes for political gain. Let your elected officials know that they cannot disenfranchise NC voters. www.carolinajewsforjustice.org/democracy_at...

Under the Canopy of a Shaken World. This Sukkot, the world feels fragile. Hope feels harder to hold. But Sukkot has always been a festival of fragility. We sit in open huts, under a sky we cannot control, to remember: our security has never come from walls, but from one another.

Dear CJJ Community, As we stand before the open gates of Yom Kippur, we pause to reflect on the year that has passed and the future we are called to build together. Yom Kippur is a day of cheshbon hanefesh—soul-accounting—when we look inward, seek forgiveness, and commit ourselves to renewal.

This week’s Torah portion, Va’etchanan, gives us the Shema — “Listen!” Listening is more than hearing; it’s a call to act. At CJJ, we listen to our neighbors, our communities, and our values, and we act for justice with all our heart, soul, and might. #Torah #Justice

As Jews, we are commanded to welcome the stranger, to pursue justice & to protect the vulnerable. We will continue to organize, educate & hold our elected officials accountable. North Carolina deserves leadership that prioritizes justice & compassion. Our work continues until that is our reality.
