Today, the entire world saw horrifying videos from Israel. Terrorists humiliate women and men, detain even the elderly, and show no mercy.
In the face of such a terrorist strike, everyone who values life must stand in solidarity.
We in Ukraine have a special feeling about what has happened. Thousands of rockets in the Israeli sky... People killed just on the streets... Civilian cars shot through... Detainees being humiliated…
Our position is crystal clear: anyone who causes terror and death anywhere on the planet must be held accountable.
Today’s terrorist attack on Israel was well-planned, and the entire world knows which sponsors of terrorism could have endorsed and enabled its organization.
Israel has the full right to defend itself against terror. As any other state. And it’s critical that the whole world responds to terror in a unified and principled manner.

The Kippa Man!
There's so much to share from my recent conference in Israel. Join us for Kabbalat Shabbat service this evening in person, on Zoom or Facebook Live and I'll share a brief overview. Great trip and glad to be back in Fresno!

…and it was an honor to stand with him and all those who stood together to support love in the face of ignorant, baseless hatred.

They showed up in my city for a drag show that an accepting and diverse church hosted.
When my 6'6", totally straight, combate vet, ex-LEO officer heard they were going to be there he put on his boots and went out to stand as protection and defense for the Queen's.
I'm so proud.

We are all here on this planet, as tourists, as it were. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives.

ALT Image with text which reads: Central Conference Of American Rabbis Statement On Bomb Threats At Historically Black Colleges & Universities The CCAR is horrified by the terror visited upon several of our nation’s HBCUs, which were hit with bomb threats last week. We do not imagine that the timing of the bomb threats, at the outset of Black History Month, was a coincidence. HBCUs, though born of white supremacy and segregation, have played a significant and praiseworthy role in American history, well beyond the community they were initially established to serve. They deserve respect and honor, not terror. We are grateful that the FBI has identified persons of interest in the case. We call for the prosecution of those responsible to the full extent of the law.

Cultivating compassion is not a religious practice focused on ensuring we go to heaven or a good future life. It’s about living a good day-to-day life here and now. It’s about being a happy person. Warm-heartedness is a fundamental good human quality.

Making the world a better place may sound like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be! Sometimes all it takes is a smile, a word of encouragement, or a few penguins tossed in the air.

Apparently this year Tu Bishvat and Ernie’s birthday coincide. I’m just going to sit back and appreciate that spiritual convergence.
