OPINION: "The bubble we build for Jewish children must be grander than any single day school’s: kinder to the child who struggles, more patient with the child who learns differently and more open to the family that never fit the mold."

In a time of grave polarization, Sunkist Fruit Gems brought the Jewish community together. Commenters were Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. Some belonged to right-wing organizations; others had “Jews 4 Palestine” in their bios.

In @eJPhil, Meggie Wyschogrod Fredman, AJC’s U.S. Director of Jewish Communal Engagement and Partnerships, explains why AJC is investing in Jewish learning and why knowing what we are advocating for requires knowing who we are.
She explores how Torah study is integral to strengthening Jewish identity, deepens our understanding of the values we advocate for, and informs our path forward.
AJC is launching a year of global Jewish learning by kicking off our partnership with the Simchat Torah Challenge. We dedicate this year to the memory of the victims of Hamas’ October 7 attack, honoring their lives by continuing the tradition of Jewish learning that has sustained the Jewish people for generations.

Who among us hasn't whipped one of these as hard as we can at our friend's faces (out of love)?
They had the perfect softness to pelt at 13 year olds. You don't know what you got till it's gone. My latest in @eJPhil
