For reasons, I am #quitting this platform and will not post here again. Anyone who knows me can find me on FB (not much better), where I'll announce future social media platforms after some research.

We recently held a Study Tour to Israel for Bronx Leaders, and Rabbi David Markus of City Island's Temple Beth El was among the participants. We encourage all to read his powerful statement about this situation, posted in full here: yourshulbythesea.org/2022/11…

Humbled to share that I was honored with this year's Excellence in Public Service Award from Rockland District Attorney Tom Walsh for "dedicated, exemplary and tireless service to the law, the community and the bar." #Judiciary #justice #whatrabbisdo lnkd.in/emiP9SdN
Honored to share (belatedly) that Jewish Week named me to this year's "36 to Watch" for #leadership impact in Jewish life, as the only full-time #Judiciary officer holding a rabbinic pulpit. #justice #whatrabbisdo lnkd.in/ehm6NbyM
I’m struck that this year’s #NationalComingOutDay (who one is) coincides with Columbus Day (where we came from) and Indigenous Peoples Day (where we are). They’re all connected: so are we.
2/2 I’m still an American — because my nationality is unity and dignity. So teaches my Judaism, and my Constitution, and my oath of office, and my covenant with history, and yours.

1/2 I’m still an American — alongside the native peoples of this land. I’m still an American — alongside every traveler to these shores, and their children, and their children, who together accept her invitation to form a more perfect union. (continued)
