A call for a new style of Judaism. "Inclusive Judaism". One where ahavat Yisrael/the love of one's fellow Jew supersedes racism, classism, bigotry, homophobia, and other forms of prejudice. And where bigoted rabbis are called out. #Jewish

So everyone knows this is a lie. But this should give every #Jewish person cause to question every right wing accusation of "paid protester" from here on out. Far too many people eat those lies up when it's Black causes. So now American Jews can see, en masse: it's BS.

I hope the world knows people are getting paid $250 to attend the protest for Isr*el in DC today. All those pro Palestine protests you see? No one got paid a dime to show up to support.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Although students were able to apply for microgrants to attend the rally, they were not being paid to attend. Instead, the ICC grants went to their local Hillel, synagogue, or Federation that covered their transportation to Washington. israelcc.org/apply-for-a-mi…

I hate anxiety attacks. My eyes feel like they want to explode. I'm finally breathing back to normal. Headache is on and off. Stomach? Forget about it. I haven't had one of these in a min and I didn't miss this #anxiety

This also reminds me of how I got a lung exam before. I was having an anxiety attack. Rather than give me meds, the doc goes "let's go through ✨every symptom you have✨ and see if there's another reason." Shortness of breath? Check for COPD. I hate mental healthcare sometimes

I see people talking about Israel and the disengagement from Gaza in 2005. Someone brought up that Israel still maintained control of air and water space and brought Wikipedia as proof. I totally had forgotten about the Hamas-Fatah war FOR Gaza en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isra…

One thing I ❤️ about my friends I grew up with is our ability to talk ABSOLUTE SMUT for HOURS and have it be totally undetectable. Like we are talking P-HUB LEVEL HORRIBLE SH*T and anyone overhearing would think we're just talking about apples

Detroit police chief on the killing of Samantha Woll: "We believe that there are no other groups or anyone else at risk in regards to this particular incident. We believe that this incident was not motivated by antisemitism and that this suspect acted alone."

When some synagogue or Jewish organization holds a "Jewish unity" event, and the program or partners doesn't include Jews and leaders from every religious movement or every edah (ethnic background of Jews), then it's not really a Jewish unity event. Just sayin

THIS is bridge building. THIS is interfaith. NO ONE can say these ppl aren't trying. This family is putting a lot on the line for the sake of bridge building. If you want to know what "walking the walk" is, it's this. I hope that girl sees the world differently after this year

I'm going to judge favorably here and assume that they're addressing the issues. In a year, a LOT of teaching moments can come up. If taken advantage of, teaching moments add up. She could even end up unlearning #antisemitism. ("Letting it go" = no benefit tho.)

New 14-eye @drmartens boots just arrived! Been wearing these since high school. Repairing my feet after 25 years of Docs took months. I can't stop wearing them. Note to self: these are NOT TO BE WORN EVERY DAY. Do NOT wear these every day. Treat these like heels.

Another random thought: If Johnny Cash shot a man in Reno just to watch him die... ...what would he do in Jason Aldean's little town?

Random thought: "Good morning! I see the lie is still going around." "Good morning. I see that lie is still up." "Everybody still repeating that same lie, huh?" These are evergreen lines that I feel like one could just open up with at random and be right re: #Antisemitism

This is a BRILLIANT comment I got on Instagram that I think sums up a lot of the cognitive dissonance re: #Antisemitism some people are going through, and also sums up the nexus of American "whiteness" and Yiddishkeit #Judaism #Torah

"Expecting to be seen as fully human first" is the best way I've seen someone sum up white privilege in a long time. #Americans

I feel totally vindicated for all those speeches I gave about #Torah allusions in System of a Down (which is a speech I can always give at a moments notice, no notes)

Here's a #protip : When talking about the #GazaWar , don't EXPECT people to "see" your "side". They have their reasons, and bigotry might be among those reasons. The "call to condemn" rarely finds the ears one thinks it will. #SocialMediaStrategy #Judaism #getittogether
