Eight years after Tree of Life, NCJW’s Talya Steinberg writes in @jdforward about navigating hate as both a woman and a Jew — and why building a safer world takes perseverance. Read her piece: forward.com/opinion/858569/j…
'Text me when you get home' — on confronting hatred as both a woman and a Jew

'Text me when you get home' — on confronting hatred as both a woman and a Jew

Eight years after Tree of Life, I’m still calculating how to stay safe in America with my intersecting identities. I’m not alone.

Eight years ago, 11 people were murdered in the Pittsburgh Tree of Life shooting. The gunman hated Jews & hated our commitment to welcoming the stranger. We refuse to let hate win. We honor the 11 victims by working for a world where all can pray, gather & welcome others safely.

Next week, one of the most anticipated books of the year drops: A Court of Splintered Harmony by Sarah J. Maas. What many fans may not know is that Sarah is Jewish & Judaism runs through her pages. May we dare to get lost in the stars & fantasy world she built. Shabbat shalom! 📚

Watching the news from the West Bank. We stand w/ our colleagues at @truahrabbis as they are detained by Israeli forces with other Americans & foreigners as they peacefully harvested olives w/ Palestinian farmers. This is not normal. Olive harvesting is not a security threat.

“We are just trying to ensure that one particular narrow understanding of when life begins, or who should have the ability to get married, is not dictated by a religious authority and that that’s really up to the will of the people,” said NCJW's Sarah Flores Shannon. 🔥 🔥

Abortion is on midterm ballots in 4 states. Here's what the polls — and faith groups — say.

As we sit with the weight of the three year anniversary of October 7, we find ourselves turning to Noa Argamani. Every single day, she chooses to look forward and refuses to let grief become her identity. May we honor Noa by daring to dream alongside her. Shabbat shalom.
