Everyday my daughter and I listen to an old Shotei HaNevuah cd in my car on our way to school. It is glorious. ליבי במזרח

Share some good ahead of this weekend. Let’s make sure they are known.

Don’t forget, good things are still happening. You may not see them. The news might not cover it. But they ARE still happening.

“The fundamental civic unit in this nation is neighbor.” ICE is taking your neighbors.

It is good to make a distinction between people and their govts. Palestinians ≠ Hamas Israelis ≠ Netanyahu Persians ≠ Khomeini Americans ≠ Trump This is true for all of these groups. Be sure you’re consistent in your application.

ICE acts lawlessly and offers no justification to be treated as anything other than a gestapo force. The deserve no respect for they haven’t earned any.

As our government continues to leave citizens to fend for themselves in this horrible war, we, Jews and Palestinians in Standing Together’s solidarity circles, are on a mission to offer support to the people in our society. (1/4)

On Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. — and recognize how much work remains to uproot the hate and bigotry that persists today. JCPA stands in solidarity with Black communities — including Black Jews — and our civil rights partners in building a just, inclusive sociey for all.

Now, more than ever, take time to curate your feeds. Don’t just absorb the nonsense. Find trusted voices, put them into a feed, focus there. We cannot control what’s out there, but we can control what we put into our heads.

Good morning, beloved. It is one thing to proclaim liberation. It is another thing to realize it. Happy Juneteenth! Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Remember: the only moral choice is to oppose ICE.

Ok, I’ve got a tutorial on tallit coming out in a few days and a full step by step tutorial on tefillin next week. Subscribe and turn on notifications if you want to be the first to know!

It’s notable that after at least three hours, the VP of the US has only 2k followers on bluesky. Of course, it’s not surprising because he is an absolute terrible person.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Midrash as TTRPG. As it was meant to be.

This isn't an official step-by-step tutorial, but a glimpse into how to wrap tefillin and a little bit as to why it is meaningful to me. If you want a detailed step-by-step, lemme know in the video's comments section.

The ICE-tapo need to be stopped. We're getting to the point that we need to shut this country down.

There are very few non-Orthodox rabbis making Youtube content, and I'd like to change that. I'm working my way to 500 youtube subscribers and building a community of people who want to learn Torah together. I want you to be a part of that.

Remember: people are entitled to be wrong on the internet. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t see something absolutely wild on here. I’m sure you do too. But that doesn’t mean you have to respond. Especially if you’re being snarky or rude. Instead ask: does my reply improve culture here?

A good thread.

A favorite takeaway from my recent YouTube Live. When we fall down, the key is to stand back up!

Regardless of immediate escalations, it is pretty clear that Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are interconnected. Iran has publicly funded them all. Seeing their conflicts with Israel as entirely separate instead of interwoven, I think is a serious oversight.

In a world where everyone thinks they’re right all the time, there’s no one learning anything. Be humble. Listen to others. Learn things. Grow as a person.

Things are feeling super chaotic, both here in the US and abroad in Israel and beyond. If I went live on Youtube to read some Psalms and hold some space, would that be useful to you?
