Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks the idea of suing my State and arguing that the ban on gender affirming care is a violation of my religious liberty, has legs. I'm in the @GeorgetownLJ ! law.georgetown.edu/georgetow…
After a “hot” Shabbat last week, when Jews around the world sit in synagogue this Saturday, they will hear a Torah reading, Parashat Va’era, that is comparatively lukewarm.
At least that’s according to a “heatmap” of the Torah created by @RavBogard.

When I say that I've learned a lot about the Holocaust by living as the parent of a trans kid in the 2020s, I don't mean that I think Republicans are Nazis. No. What I've learned is that Nazis were just the Republicans of their era, and of their system. #ProtectTransKids
Think trans-folk are new? I'd like to tell you the remarkable story of Berel-Beyle, a Jewish man who transitioned in the shtetel in Ukraine in the 1800s. 🧵#ARainbowThread 1/

I'm almost never on here, but I'm so glad this thread is still spreading! I think about Beryl close to every day (and I think I have literally bought more than 300 copies of A Rainbow Thread that i've given out)
🚨An open letter from Jewish and Israeli community members backing Mamdani has drawn more than 700 signatures in its first day.
“We draw inspiration from Israelis and Palestinians building respect and care across deep divides — and we commit to supporting their work.”
Proud to be one of the authors (and the digital organizer) of this effort. Jewish safety can never exist when it is built on a foundation of Muslim vulnerability.
"We recognize that candidate Zohran Mamdani's support for Palestinian self-determination stems not from hate, but from his deep moral convictions."
New letter, with close to 1,000 signatures and counting, including 50 clergy from New York, over 300 so far:

Proud to be one of 1,000+ signatories of this letter. We cannot build Jewish safety with Muslim oppression and can’t let our divisive leaders represent us.

Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity.
She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.
