Here’s my Rosh Hashanah sermon all about the preciousness of breath and the need for us to ensure that all people can breathe freely. cbebk.org/rabbi-evan-t...

Every single day, our extremist government chooses more death and destruction. After almost two years of bombing and displacement, Palestinians, including children, the elderly and disabled, are facing new horrors every day. The hostages are still suffering in captivity. (1/2)

Political violence leads to more political violence. We must end this tragic cycle.

Let Gaza live. Bring home the hostages. End the war. Last night I was one of the 8 rabbis arrested at this rally with hundreds of other people also raising their voices. We demand an end to this war and a process toward true justice and peace for all people in this holy land. 📸: Harold Levine

SO PROUD of my colleagues for willingly putting their bodies in the hands of the state for this critical demand. Thank you @rabbijilljacobs.bsky.social Rabbi @evantraylor.bsky.social Rabbi Rachel Timoner, Rabbi Elizabeth Richman & everyone else — Photos I’m 98% sure are @giligetz.bsky.social

Proud to be in this minyan of rabbis arrested as part of this protest for food into Gaza, end to the war, return of the hostages organized by @truahrabbis.bsky.social NY Jewish Agenda, @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social @partners4israel.bsky.social Smol Emuni US & others

This is just devastating.

If your response in this moment is to trample on the rights of trans folks, you’re on the wrong side. So, so shameful.

May her memory forever be a blessing. 💔

“Where life is precious, life is precious.” - Ruth Wilson Gilmore

Today I’m holding close my ancestors who fought so hard - physically, emotionally, spiritually - to survive enslavement and make it to freedom. And I’m holding close the ones who didn’t live to see that moment. Freedom is precious. Let’s build a world where we’re all free. #Juneteenth

Finally got to listen to this conversation - and it’s just gorgeous.

My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Thank you @booker.senate.gov ❤️‍🔥 “Hillel said…In a place where there are no mensches, show up to be a damn mensch.” Pirke Avot 2:5, adapted

West Bank settler extremists deserve to be seen as the Jewish equivalent of the KKK in the post-Reconstruction US South: Violent extremists acting officially independently of the state, but with tacit state support, knowing they will not be punished. If you reject that comparison, ask yourself why.

It was always going to get to criminalization. They were always going to start with someone who was marginalized, serving a marginalized community, so there wouldn't be an uproar. The frogwater is boiling hotter and hotter.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

This organized crime we call a country.

KENDRICK DID THAT

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Welcoming the stranger is a core part of Jewish tradition, and we strongly oppose the recent anti-immigrant rhetoric and executive orders issued by the Trump administration. Learn how you and your congregation can support immigrants and refugees in this challenging moment. rac.org/blog/support...

We're proud to join over 85 Jewish organizations in opposing mass deportations, detention camps, and raids. Our history and values make immigration a personal issue. A democracy that isn’t safe for all isn’t safe for Jews. religionnews.com/2025/01/27/i...

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Speaking truth to power. Praying for this courage every day.

Pray. Learn. Connect. Fight. Build. Win. That's my game plan for this moment. What's yours? Let's talk about it and be in this moment together. Let’s keep working to create the world as it should be. And the only way to do that is to do it together.
