This week, 30 rabbis and 30 pastors gathered for the 2026 Atlanta Summit of Black Pastors and Rabbis. At both the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church and The Temple Reform synagogue, these leaders convened with a shared mission to unite communities.

Oftentimes throughout Jewish history, our ancestors approached this Shabbat as they were coming out of hard times. Many in the Jewish community faced serious challenges this past week, Rabbi Rick Jacobs offers his reflections on this moment.

We’ve not hesitated to call out Mayor Mamdani when we’ve disagreed — including over buffer zone legislation that protects New Yorkers from harassment and intimidation.

We are praying for all those injured in today’s terror attack in Jerusalem. May the memories of those murdered be a blessing and may their loved ones find comfort amidst their horrific loss.

וּפְרוֹשׂ עָלֵֽינוּ סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמֶךָ: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה הַפּוֹרֵשׂ סֻכַּת שָׁלוֹם עָלֵֽינוּ וְעַל כָּל עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל יְרוּשָׁלָֽיִם: We ask the Holy One to spread over Israel a shelter of peace as they await with fear in their bomb shelters and safe rooms, the retaliatory strike of Iran.

So proud of our Reform Movement’s historic victory in the World Zionist Congress election! Our Vote Reform slate received more votes than any other slate— not only in this election, but in the entire history of the WZC!

Here in America, and around the world, being Jewish or loving Israel should not put a person’s life in danger. My full post: bit.ly/4522xC5

It’s the last day to vote in the World Zionist Congress. Diaspora Jews are invited to vote on $1 billion of allocations and key leadership roles to shape an Israel aligned with our liberal Jewish values of equality, justice and democracy. Elections have consequences. PLEASE VOTE REFORM #3!!

What a blessing to join tonight’s 40th annual jointly held Yom HaShoah service with Saint Peter’s Church and Central Synagogue. I believe this may well be one of the longest expressions of interfaith solidarity in commemorating the Holocaust, which is both remarkable and inspiring!

The firebombing of Gov Shapiro‘s residence evokes the most painful memories of antisemitic, hate-fueled violence. Grateful that he and his family were unharmed thanks to the fast work of law enforcement and firefighters.

An administration claiming to combat antisemitism shouldn’t be standing with a far right German party that downplays the dangers of Nazism.
