Heartbroken about my dear friend - Zomi Frankcom who was killed tonight in Palestine in a IDF bombing. Her selfless dedication to aiding civilians showcased her true compassion and activism. I mourn the loss of a warrior for humanity. But I will raise her standard. @WCKitchen

Someone added the letters z”l (zichrono livracha = of blessed memory) and the words, “I am so sorry that it ended this way.”
Longer tables not higher walls. This man is not only my hero, but he even speaks my love language.
In Israel, @WCKitchen teams have served more than 50,000 fresh meals so far…working with 12 restaurant and kitchen partners, we are bringing food to the families that have been displaced from their homes. #ChefsForThePeople

13/20 We know these words sound imaginary, naïve and unrealistic, but this is the truth and we must recognize it. Every mother, Jewish and Arab, gives birth to her children to see them grow and flourish and not to bury them.

I’m donating 1 million dollars from the @JeffBezos #CourageAndCivilityAward within the project I call LONGER TABLES to help @WCKitchen mission with food and water in Israel and also in Gaza. We are providing aid anywhere people will need support! Food cannot stop terrorists or grief. But I know it can start to rebuild lives and communities.#ChefsForThePeople

As the media numbers the days of war in response to Hamas mass terrorism, I read about it at night in Los Angeles as another day begins in Israel. I hear the biblical echo of creation but it's replaced with violence: "And there was evening and there was morning, day 4."

To hold hope
in one hand
while holding despair
in the other
is to understand
what it means
to grieve.
Jacki Honig retweeted
Our hearts are with Israeli and Palestinian children and families affected by the crisis in the region. All children deserve a safe childhood free from violence and terror.

A blessing for when you've lost someone far too soon
God, this. This is impossible.
This grief is too much to bear.
If there was a tight order
to the world that you made,
it’s come unspooled
and no one will wind it up again.
God, I feel it coming,
that ache for the stories that will never be told.
And an anger rising
when i remember
what never should have been.
Worst of all – God, could anything be worse? –
it is so beautiful
the way this grief is a language of love.
I am lovesick with this much sorrow.
Teach me to speak this new mother tongue.
Show me how to memorize
what I can never forget
what they gave and what is gone,
and what we were owed
by a world robbed of their presence.
Hold me by the edges
for I am coming apart.
And nothing but love
will find me.
From The Lives We Actually Have.
But also for anyone who resonated with my conversation with .@robdelaney.

Grief is not just for what you lost. It's for what you are missing today, what you will be missing tomorrow, next year, in a decade, in 2 and 3 decades. What you lost yesterday will be missing to you every day for the rest of your life.
I feel this so hard.

The gay agenda y'all.
But really, this thread is beautiful and deserves a read.
i don't have an agenda, i don't have a secret plot against frumkeit. i just want to love hashem, learn torah, go to my friends house for shabbos. i want to love my girlfriend and not be scared to talk about her with my colleagues and friends. (6/?)

Moshe Rabbeinu climbed a mountain to receive the Torah.
Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai descended into a cave to receive his Torah.
Moshe taught us how to transcend ourselves.
Rebbe Shimon taught us how to find Torah within ourselves.
