This Shabbat, we will begin rereading the Torah, starting with Genesis:
"And G-d said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Shabbat shalom! 🕯🕯
(P.S. Please let me know if you would like me to continue to post a weekly quote from the Parsha).

1/ We unequivocally condemn Pres. Trump's issuance of 1,500 pardons and commuted sentences for Jan 6 insurrectionists, including leaders & members of extremist groups. This decision undermines accountability & risks reinvigorating violent extremists and other insurrectionists. 🧵

Our hearts are with the people of Los Angeles. As Jewish communal organizations receive requests for aid, #JewishFederations are standing by to assist during this time of need. Please support those affected by the wildfires: jewishla.org/wildfire-crisis…

Hi @BrianaCap , thank you for the kind words. As Fire Chief of Redondo Beach your post truly lifted our spirits. This is a video taken while @RedondoBeachFD Engine 61 in midst of fighting fire as 80mph winds tried to test their resolve, but could never break our spirits

About 500 people gathered at Atlanta's Greenwood Cemetery for a Yom HaShoah Remembrance event today. U.S. Sen. Jon @ossoff shared a family story and child survivor George Rishfeld told of being given over to a Catholic family by his parents. Our coverage: roughdraftatlanta.com/2024/0…

Context matters. The context here is not a literal Arabic translation. The context here is the first and second intifada - a series of suicide attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians, including kids, designed to derail peace negotiations.
The context is a decade of blown up buses.

Today begins #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth across our state and nation. Georgia is proud to recognize this time to celebrate the rich history, culture, and remarkable achievements of the Jewish community, and to stand together against hatred and antisemitism.

I’m really sick of media & viral social media posts painting the Jewish community in a false binary: pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian.
The vast majority of American Jews support Israel (but not necessarily its government) AND believe in Palestinian humanity & self-determination.

Hundreds of synagogues in 17 states were targeted with bomb threats over the weekend.
Across America, families were evacuated from their places of worship and entire Jewish communities were on edge.
Antisemitism poses a clear danger to Jews in America.
Despite these attempts to scare and disrupt Jewish communities, we will always remain resilient in the face of blind hatred.
We are #JewishAndProud.

A man was arrested for attacking two people outside a Georgetown synagogue while screaming “gas the Jews.”
Because that is where we’re at. Antisemitism was already a crisis before Oct. 7 — and it’s even more of one now. nbcwashington.com/news/local…

Today, Rep Brent Cox & I spoke in favor of our resolution to condemn Hamas & stand with the Jewish community. My speech starts at 2:12:00. Yes, there were no votes and many walked (a no in my eyes). #gapol youtube.com/watch?v=QM64zI-6…

@JFederations are disturbed by reports of an apparent targeted shooting of three college students of Palestinian descent in Burlington, Vermont Saturday evening. We pray for their complete recovery. (1/2)

Your daily reminder that targeting Jewish businesses, people, & institutions as “retribution” for Israel’s actions is antisemitism. Full stop.

Throwing money at Jewish councilmembers and chanting that money causes support for #Israel is blatant antisemitism. Politics aside — this action underscores escalating hate impacting the local Jewish community in #Berkeley and across the Bay Area.
City council has adjourned for tonight, to loud boos from the crowd of demonstrators. Meeting will continue on Nov. 21 #berkmtg

We are thankful to @EmoryUniversity's @gregfenves for his quick and forceful condemnation of antisemitic rhetoric on campus. There is no justification for terrorism.

>@EmoryUniversity President Greg Fenves condemns a campus protest today that featured “antisemitic phrases and slogans.” “This kind of rhetoric has no place at Emory. I am appalled by this behavior.”
