This Shabbat, we will begin rereading the Torah, starting with Genesis:
"And G-d said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Shabbat shalom! 🕯🕯
(P.S. Please let me know if you would like me to continue to post a weekly quote from the Parsha).

1/ We unequivocally condemn Pres. Trump's issuance of 1,500 pardons and commuted sentences for Jan 6 insurrectionists, including leaders & members of extremist groups. This decision undermines accountability & risks reinvigorating violent extremists and other insurrectionists. 🧵
May they all be returned home quickly and may a secure peace ensue.
@JFederations welcome news of a deal to release dozens of hostages, create a framework for releasing all the hostages, and allow Israel a path forward to protect the safety and security of its citizens.

May his memory be a blessing.
We are devastated to announce that the IDF has confirmed that American-Israeli hostage Omer Neutra (21) was murdered by Hamas on October 7.
His body remains held hostage in Gaza.
Our hearts are with Omer’s parents, Orna and Ronen, and his family, who have fought tirelessly for his release over the past 14 months.
May Omer’s memory be a blessing.

One area that is not controversial in the #IHRA definition: Blaming Jews for the death of Jesus is antisemitic. It has been the most consistent, most used excuse for Jew-hatred for nearly 2,000 years.
Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews.
Read the bill text and contemporary examples of antisemitism like #9.

Context matters. The context here is not a literal Arabic translation. The context here is the first and second intifada - a series of suicide attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians, including kids, designed to derail peace negotiations.
The context is a decade of blown up buses.

Today begins #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth across our state and nation. Georgia is proud to recognize this time to celebrate the rich history, culture, and remarkable achievements of the Jewish community, and to stand together against hatred and antisemitism.
