“There is a time to sob and there is a time to dance, and we have to do both right now.”
Listen as Rachel Goldberg-Polin reflects as we prepare for the long-awaited hostage release.
As we anticipate the excitement of seeing our precious hostages return alive, we must not neglect those who will not be met with the same rewarding ending.
The families of the bereaved hostages need us now more than ever. We must acknowledge their pain equally as we acknowledge the joy.

(Non-Jewish) opera singer Sarah Callinan was hired to sing at a Rosh Hashana service. She witnessed firsthand the level of security now required for Jews to practice their faith safely.
Thank you so much, Sarah, for speaking up. You’re right, this situation is not okay, but your video made it just a little more bearable.

Excited to share my article on parental rights is now published in N.Y.U. Rev. L. & Soc. Change Harbinger. It argues that parental authority in education is better seen as a special regulatory power, not a right to control education.

Thinking about the incredible life of Jimmy Carter:nuclear scientist, minister, president, husband, father, grandpa, farmer, volunteer, writer, poet, builder, peacemaker, Nobel prize winner, a perfect example that there are always opportunities for second acts (if we are brave)

You don’t have community because you aren’t a good community member. You don’t host events, you don’t know how to cook, you don’t know how to dance, you don’t know how to sing, and you aren’t doing anything to learn. You can’t tell stories or jokes.

NEW AD🌟 Introducing "American Girl" – a powerful anthem for women as we stand together to reclaim our freedoms at the ballot box! 🗳️💪

#AmericanGirl #WeWontGoBack
I’m done with all posts & commentaries insisting that x is ‘just like’ or is ‘the same as.’ There are similarities and differences. Nothing is ‘just like’ or ‘the same as. Every event is contextually and temporally embedded. 1/3
It is lazy scholarship to insist that everything is ‘just like’ or ‘the same as.’ It may catch the public mood because they know something about what x and that thing they insist is ‘just like’ or ‘the same as.’ 2/3
Looks fascinating-

Friends, one of my neighbors in Fidi’s 17 year old daughter has been missing for over 24 hours. Please keep your eyes out. She has been missing since yesterday.

Dear Democrats:
Many Americans (myself included) will be voting Democrat for the first time in our lives this November.
We’re not doing this because we agree with Democrats on policy; we’re doing it because we understand the need to stop Trump from destroying our Constitution.
If you see us non-Democrat Kamala supporters on Twitter espousing beliefs you disagree with, like on taxes or guns or whatever, try to let it go. Don’t be jerks. Don’t disparage and argue, expecting us to toe the Democrat line, because we won’t. We’re not Democrats. Being hostile to us will backfire and endanger our alliance.
We’ve made common cause with you in this election because our democracy faces an existential threat. We agree Trump is dangerous and we want to work with you to defeat him. Let’s be grateful for this mutual cooperation.
We can go back to arguing and being opponents after November. Until then, we have a country to save.
