Teaching my gentile husband that the frustration that comes from trying to light a full menorah with fragile generic candles is all part of the Jewish Experience. "This is worse than building Ikea furniture." Happy eighth night and Happy Winter Solstice.

Our country could use more fighters for the American dream, for what is good, right, and just in this world, like @avindman.bsky.social & Rabbi @ravbogard.bsky.social. What an honor spending the evening with them & friends from across the District. #Missouri #MO02

I'm still looking for (the right) lawyer to help me challenge gender affirming care bans in court under religious liberty claims. Is that you, or do you know the right person? DMs are open #ProtectTransKids

@theradr.bsky.social I was going to send out the EOY appeal for scholarship funding for Camp Indigo Point today but I’m caught up trying to line up care for my daughter before the rules go into effect. Can you spare another shout out? 💕 form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/ashrei-...

The reality of antisemitic zionists and anti-zionist non-antisemites has totally broken the Jewish community's ability to tackle the metastasizing of antisemitism in American society.

I think the comedian David Cross hit the nail on the head when he said years ago “And I'm not comparing Trump voters to Nazis. Okay? No, I'm not. I'm comparing Trump voters to the German people who voted for the Nazi Party.”

When I say that I've learned a lot about the Holocaust by living as the parent of a trans kid in the 2020s, I don't mean that I think Republicans are Nazis. No. What I've learned is that Nazis were just the Republicans of their era, and of their system. #ProtectTransKids

“Ultimately," said Rabbi Bogard, "we have to make a choice. Our Jewish institutions have to commit to being a tent that’s big enough to include the widest spectrum of Jewish voices and small enough to keep out the bullies.”

Important thread explained the gap between Jewish "voices" and American Jews. It's probably a self-fulfilling death spiral. Alas. If only I had Bezos money without Bezos amorality

If you want to understand why Jewish institutional leadership is so out of touch with actual American Jews, you need to understand the funding dynamic of basically every legacy Jewish institution. 1/

Four local rabbis worked with a shady DC right-wing org to write a call out op-ed about me because I refuse to parot a party line. The irony is that poll after poll shows that they, not me, represent an increasingly fringy position with an American Jewish opinion.

Rabbi Daniel Bogard @ravbogard.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
Has there ever been this large of a gap between what American Jews actually believe, and what our institutional leaders are pushing in our name?
051
Rabbi Daniel Bogard @ravbogard.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
Right wing antisemites (who literally run every branch of our government) have convinced American Jewish legacy leadership to be scared of left wing anti-zionists who exist on the fringes of power. Nationalism sure is a hell of a drug.
