As we prepare to welcome Shabbat tonight, we share these words of hope from Barbara Weinstein, Director of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism. We pray that the peacefulness of Shabbat will bring peace to all people. (1/2)
ALT Words of Hope for Shabbat. Barbara Weinstein Director, Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism. “May the peacefulness of Shabbat bring peace to all people.”
ALT For thousands of years, the Jewish people have been guided by God's call to center the most vulnerable: the widow, the orphan, and the stranger.
ALT This week’s range of statements and executive orders targeting immigrants, LGBTQ people, people of Color, and more, are hurtful and harmful. They also make clear the communities that are at heightened risk at this moment.
ALT We stand in solidarity with vulnerable people, committed to working with and praying for all those whose identity, security, and families feel exposed.

Thousands of people’s lives have been upended today by the decisions already made and implemented by the new administration. So we’re not going to debate about what Musk, elected by no one, meant by his salute at the inaugural gala. But someone of his reported intelligence should know better than to make a gesture that evokes fascist leader-worship and the worst horrors of the 20th century. youtu.be/-VfYjPzj1Xw?si=YYCF…

Today’s flurry of statements and announced executive orders attacking immigrants, LGBTQ people, climate protections, and more are hurtful and harmful. They also make clear the communities and policies that are at heightened risk under the new administration. (1/2)
