In case this isn’t clear… This poem is against carpet bombings in Gaza. The ceaseless pursuit of elusive enemies embedded within civilian environments—sacrificing innocent Palestinians with no guarantee of ending Hamas—needs to end. More than 2/3 of Israelis want a ceasefire now. #rabbis4ceasefire
I am grateful to all the teams that made the march happen. I am grateful to all my communities who were co-sponsors: #rabbis4ceasefire, Kolot Chayeinu, @jvp.bsky.social, @bendthearc.bsky.social, @genderlib.com, and so many more.
Part 3/5:
Top 2024 in getting detained/removed for protesting for a ceasefire:
1. The United Nations HQ with @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social.
2. The Gaza border with #Rabbis4Ceasefire and on the ground partner.
3. The White House with Lily Greenberg-Call.

We cannot ignore that Israel was charged with genocide; the Palestinians killed in brutal Israeli occupation and the occupation's escalating brutality now. May we see the divine in all human beings and we fight for the dignity of all people.

rabbis4ceasefire CHANUKAH 5785 NIGHT 4 CANDLE LIGHTING COMPANION Candle 4: L'dor va-dor. From Generation to Generation The ancient rabbis celebrated the menorah's one night of oil lasting eight nights as the central miracle of the holiday, rather than the militarism of the Maccabees who can be seen as religious extremists. They helped shape our tradition by uplifting a story of hope and faith over the valorization of the coming generations.
Candle 4: We join ancestors in celebrating the menorahs one night of oil lasting eight nights as the central miracle of the holiday, rather than the militarism of the Maccabees #Rabbis4ceasefire: May we honor our ancestors as we fight for a future worthy of the coming generations. #Stopthegenocide

Saturday morning with @jfrejnyc.bsky.social #rabbis4ceasefire:
Marking the time (Elul), space (rare moment of celebration right now), and the people.
Here is to a better year, not just through hope, but through action. Through going out of our way and comfort zones to create change, to create a better New York!

At last week's @jfrejnyc.bsky.social Mazals, where our Rabbis for Ceasefire were honored 🥰
Had the honor to wrap up the program as a whole, surrounded by so many of our #Rabbis4Ceasefire, with the sounds of the Shofar.

“She was there in the company of a group of American rabbis, #rabbis4ceasefire [ rabbis4ceasefire.com ], to show the world, the people of Gaza, and their fellow Jews in Israel, and around the world what Judaism teaches: justice, lovingkindness, peace, mercy, liberation."
"BREAKING: 80 rabbis & rabbinical students across denominations and political affiliations just released this video urging the larger Jewish community and U.S. leaders to call for a #CeasefireNOW.
