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.

Does @dahlialithwick.bsky.social know someone who could help?
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

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

@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? 💕

Everywhere I go I'm seeing people who look like slightly modified versions of folks I know. I'm thinking the computers running our simulation need a RAM upgrade 🤷

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

>>Bogard emphasized that the “Jews for a Shared Future” letter is not an endorsement of any candidate. “This is not a Mamdani endorsement letter,” he said. “Anyone trying to make it that is reading it wrong.”<<
“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.”

"We recognize that candidate Zohran Mamdani's support for Palestinian self-determination stems not from hate, but from his deep moral convictions."

Glad to see my rabbi signed onto the OTHER letter, the one defending Mamdani and insisting that "In a climate of rising division, we must stay focused on what truly keeps us safe: working across differences to protect the rights and improve the lives of EVERYONE."

My friend, and someone who has stepped up in amazing ways to create safer communities across faiths, and especially for trans kids: “Jewish safety cannot be built on Muslim vulnerability.”

Amen.
