A new tradition for Sukkot: www.jta.org/2025/10/06/r...

We received these images from Ramez, a protest organizer in Gaza. They’re part of an initiative in a campaign by the Gazan Youth Committee, in which activists hold photos of Israeli children killed on October 7th and after, inspired by the silent vigils held by Israeli activists. (1/4)

For my research on Jewish names of pets, I'm looking for anecdotal data on pets' names in *other* communities, like a Mexican-American friend who named her dog Oso (Spanish "bear"). Do you know anyone who gave their pet a name from Korean, Greek, Tagalog, etc.? #onomastics

If you know a graduating high school student who's considering a gap year, I recommend Tivnu, a Jewish social justice program in Portland, Oregon, which my daughter did last year. A life-changing experience! Learn more at the info session this Thursday: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I've been enjoying counting the Omer in many languages. Last night was the 9th day - in Ladino from Monastir

My sign from a rally in LA this weekend: "In a democracy, DISAPPEAR is not a transitive verb."

In Philadelphia in 2000-04, I enjoyed Marty Moss-Coane's NPR show Radio Times. The theme music was from Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints. 10 points to the first person to name that song. That album is today's #MusicMonday. Love the Brazilian percussion, pleasant guitar, and harmonies.

I've been disappointed that there haven't been large-scale protests. I googled and found rallies planned for April 5 around the country: handsoff2025.com
