So proud to be in community with folks organizing. I just donated to @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social and hope other culturally Christian folks will join me in saying #saynotoethnicleansing saynotoethniccleansing.org

I am probably on some government lists now but at least I am in good company.

Proud to have joined over 350 rabbis (and counting) to help make this simple statement in today's @nytimes

Proud to be one of the 350 rabbis signing this statement — an ad in the NYT today and a declaration of our values. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... For more—and to sign— go to saynotoethniccleansing.org

“Our message to Palestinians is that you are not alone, our attention has not wavered, and we are committed to fighting with every breath we have to stop ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”

Today in the New York Times --communal leadership at its most powerful – prominent figures & trusted voices refusing Trump-Netanyahu with clarity and unusual unity in a loving show of solidarity with Palestinians. #saynotoethniccleansing www.saynotoethniccleansing.org

Jews say no to ethnic cleansing!

"Netanyahu and the thugs around him in the coalition and the government are not interested in a ceasefire." Israeli MP Ofer Cassif says the apparent delay in the start of the talks about the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire is “a terrifying sign”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/zl1qvt

We condemn Trump's Executive Order that seeks to shut down organizing for Palestinian Rights. In this era of repression, we call on Jewish organizations, synagogues, and communities to publicly condemn this Executive Order in the strongest terms. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We love to see it! apnews.com/video/revere...

There are over 1700 people RSVPed for this gathering starting in one hour. See you there?!?!

Our statement on the news of the ceasefire deal: We are delighted to see the celebrations in the streets of Gaza and Tel Aviv, as people are finding some hope, comfort, relief and gratitude in this moment, even as we grieve the many lives lost.

On January 20th, MLK day, as the inauguration is taking place, we will gather together to honor what we are feeling as we face into the next four years, remembering we are not alone. Join us! bit.ly/Jan20multifaith

THREAD: It’s important folks on the left in America are aware of Project Esther, the Heritage Foundation's (authors of Project 2025), racist and antisemitic strategy to target the so-called “Hamas Support Network” of “Hamas Support Organizations” to “fight antisemitism,” shorturl.at/7pPZr 1/8

We welcome holding war criminals to account, no matter who they are, and especially when their crimes are done in our name. There must be accountability for the unspeakable crimes against humanity that Netanyahu, Gallant and so many others in the Israeli government are perpetrating.

Thank you to Bernie Sanders for his leadership in bringing the JRD to the Senate floor and to each Senator who voted yes. We are so grateful to see 19 Senators demonstrate moral and political courage and clarity. Onward.

Debate on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval is starting now ahead of the vote. Sending love and appreciation to all who made calls, the Senators who will vote yes, to all those that value life and are taking steps to act on that value. You can watch here: www.c-span.org/video/?54011...

As Grace Paley z"l taught us, action is the only recongizable feature of hope. Join us tonight to make the calls to put the pressure and support Bernie's JRDs! jfrej.org/embargo
