So, given my absolutely silly dietary restrictions: gf everything bagel, toasted until the cut side is crispy, plain cream cheese, red onion, capers, lox, a squeeze of lemon juice, a grind of black pepper, and caviar if i’m being fancy.

A lot of your bagel orders are fine but remember we are talking about what’s acceptable to the NYC electorate and many of you would lose your election.

we should still be treating them humanely even while we minimize the harm they cause.

Also accessible housing, food, medical care and medication management will go a long way to reducing crime.

People just need to give up the belief that punishment and incarceration deter crime. They don’t.

Reeducation, vocational and re-integration planning. TRAUMA INFORMED EVERYTHING. Seriously. 90% ish of crime is driven from a place of abuse-deprivation-trauma-lack of resources. There is a small sliver of true evil asshats that likely need to be safely segregated BUT …

invest in treatment court and drug court options and create emergency response mental health teams that are an alternative to police arriving to every 911 call. Push in maximal mental, physical and educational services into any “carceral” system.

Having worked criminal justice adjacent for 20 years (until I finally burned out) I endorse this 1000% Take money away from lunatics measures and invest in robust community mental and physical health clinics, remove barriers to medication and non medication treatment options

Punitive is pointless. You can't unmake the past with a slap on the wrist. Rehabilitation, as often as possible, as much as possible--that's what I think will help society. To prevent further harm. 4/?

I have just outlined what I think is a fairly reasonable approach to defunding the police.

May every sentient being from the most divine to least, heed Rabbi’s prayer.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · 9d

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

I will become the curmudgeonly ghost who you have a useful conversation with in a quaint out of the way coffee shop and then look up and realize I died a century ago.

Try to be a kind person in the world.
After that, be a forgetful ghost who haunts historic libraries, or a vengeful twig witch who stalks the dark heart of the forest, or something cool like that.

Abraham struggled to put the well being, the LIFE, of his child before his faith and tradition and struggled to break with what he believed was expected of him.
Isaac is more able to rebel against his abusive past and seek to repair the wrongs of his family / community.

This was beautiful Torah to stumble across today. LabShul did a very moving reenactment / interpretation for the binding of Isaac during their Rosh Hashanah Storahtelling, and this dovetails with some of the the insights I had watching it.
