A 🧵 of celebration for the huge victory in NYC last night -- with a special shout out to @jfrejnyc.bsky.social and JVP Action for their epic mobilization of NYC Jews. The work continues (begins)!

A reminder you do not need to read racist fear mongering hot takes on Zohran’s win. Enjoy this win on your own terms!

Over 1 million New Yorkers voted for Zohran. There's simply no question he has a mandate to govern and realize the policies he campaigned on.

Blessed is the source of life that is good and makes good things happen. Zohran will be a blessing for NYC -- even to his haters, because that is how being a good leader works. THANK YOU NYC!

“The liberal Zionist vision of Israel has never, for a moment, been the reality of the Jewish state. There’s a human cost to that political commitment, and it comes on the backs of Palestinians" - R4C Founding Director @alissashira.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social

We’re proud New York Rabbis for Zohran. Our movement of thousands of Jews For Zohran is growing. Join us to elect Mayor Mamdani at jfrej.org/field 🗳️ 📋P.S. Remember - canvassing is a mitzvah! Benjamin Abrams sound & edit 📷: Dan Fridman

THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE! As much as we want it to be true, need it to be true it just isn't and we can't indulge this charade in any way.

Grateful to have had this chance to reflect on the action 💔

cuomo just lied and said that the rabbis letter was over 600 new york rabbis. it was fewer than 50 and over 500 out of staters.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

61% of American Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes and 68% have a negative opinion of Netanyahu, according to a recent poll from The Washington Post. Andrew Cuomo — who joined Netanyahu's legal team and has defended Israel at every turn — does not speak for or represent the views of Jews.

The JewsforFoodAidforPeopleInGaza campaing is so so so close to reaching the $180,000 goal for our High Holiday Tzedakah campaign before Yom Kippur begins. If you haven't yet please give now! givebutter.com/FoodAidTzeda...

JERUSALEM (AP) — In 'unprecedented operation,' Israeli army takes over mobile phones of Gaza residents to carry Netanyahu UN speech live.

They literally bombed the mediators -- what more evidence does one need they have no intention of stopping this genocide without serious pressure. They can't bomb peace negotiators without the US bombs.

Join us Thursday at #NN25 for a panel on how Palestinian rights advocates are fighting back against state repression and building momentum for a growing movement. @netrootsnation.bsky.social @vincewarren.bsky.social @alissashira.bsky.social @shaabiranks.bsky.social

Tony Kushner: ethnic cleansing and the mass slaughter of civilians are incommensurable with Jewish values and teachings and must be abhorrent to any Jew who understands our culture and our history.

This is thanks to the WORK of thousands of people knocking doors, making calls, having conversations. Keep going friends!!!!

Yesterday at the Block the Bombs act press conference Laila al-Haddad said that this year as the Muslim world celebrates Eid the people of Gaza are the sacrificial lamb. Been holding and feeling that. I wish all an Eid Mubarak nonetheless -- next year may Palestinians celebrate in freedom.

The Global Shavuot Teach-In has begun! Now ongoing until 2pm eastern Monday! Amazing learning hour after hour -- check out the schedule and register here: rabbis4ceasefire.com/shavuot2025/

We are just a few hundred signers away from hitting our initial goal of 18,000 signers before Shabbat! Please share to Jews in your life who want to see an end to the starvation of people in Gaza. They'll be joining over 600 rabbis and 80+ Jewish orgs around the globe! foodaidforgaza.org

This is absolutely chilling. Global Jewish community solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza is a critical counterweight.

Join @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social, @acjna.bsky.social and many incredible partner organizations (including us) on June 1st and 2nd for a 26-hour-long Shavuot teach-in. Check out the full schedule of presentations and register at rabbis4ceasefire.com/shavuot2025

New #JewsForFoodAidForPeopleInGaza campaign is launching with over 11k signers, 80 organizational sponsors including 38 congregations -- and it is just getting started! Add your name now! Goal is 18,000 signers before Shabbat!

Really recommend listening to this to unravel your thinking. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

ALL eyes on these babies.

The US and Israel are going to try to pass off this dystopian plan as them meeting their obligations to lift their now 73 day long blockade of all aid into Gaza. It is not relief, it is not lifting the siege, it is a step on the way to their plan of ethnic cleansing.

"Beyond being inexpensive to implement, starvation makes little noise... There are no bomb craters, no burning children or journalists. There are only emaciated corpses. And 18 months into the darkness that has enveloped the Palestinians, they do not warrant many headlines." Let's change that.

Jews are in the midst of counting the Omer, awaiting revelation. We must add another count into our consciousness: it’s been 62 days since a humanitarian aid truck has entered Gaza. If our spiritual traditions mean anything at all they must mean we act with all we have to LET GAZA LIVE!

Happy May Day! L'chayim to all the workers that make our lives possible and pleasurable! (photo from Workmen's Circle contingent at May Day rally in NYC in 1930s!)

Heaven help us.

There’s no major coverage of Israel starving the people of Gaza as the world watches. Aid groups reporting depleted supplies. Nothing is going into Gaza. This is a horrific war crime — LET GAZA LIVE! www.wfp.org/news/wfp-run...

A registry of Jews. Revealed on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. That is where we are. Will it be enough to wake people the fuck up?

Worth checking out these Passover supplements that resurrect for liberal circles some uncommon rituals, weave the current political moment with ancient liturgy, plus some Talmud study for your seder table. Next year in liberation!

can't normalize without normies. make your peace with this now

This made me cry and it really should not have. It is a document of basic decency. Good for Tufts, may the other institutions grow a spine too. www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

My 6 year old asked "Does Trump think that he's doing good things even tho everyone else thinks he's doing bad things?" I told her the truth. She then asked "why did so many people vote for him dont they care if people have bad things happen?" I told truth again. How will this era shape our kids?

Blessings on @sanders.senate.gov head for the powerful speech he just gave on the Senate floor to stop the sale of weapons to Israel. Bombs that will be used to murder and destroy as all humanitarian aid is being blocked to the people of Gaza.

“Did they think of their wives and children – the pain of being separated from them forever? Did they still their hearts – or find peace in their final moments?”

God bless Wisconsin!

Let’s be real: performance and spectacle is how Trump got to office.

The first press conference @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social did on the Hill in Nov 23 with initial signers of the ceasefire resolution was a worship service. Give them space to preach and bring Spirit and they’ll go! The Left leaves religion out at our peril!

At least a Senator is DOING something?!? Bar is low, stakes are high!

Over 1000 Palestinians have been called in Gaza since March 18th. We can not let up our attention from Gaza -- even as they take away our freedom of speech to be able to continue the slaughter we must get louder. Its the only way.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating. Proud to live in a city where schools are closed so all can enjoy the day with family!
