“Those who burn books will in the end burn people” Heinrich Heine
14 Jul 2023
I unequivocally condemn the permission granted in Sweden to burn holy books. As the President of Israel, I condemned the burning of the Quran, sacred to Muslims world over, and I am now heartbroken that the same fate awaits a Jewish Bible, the eternal book of the Jewish people.

Missouri court rules that our case can move forward!
2 Jul 2023
Our lawsuit, brought with @nwlc, argues that Missouri's abortion bans violate the separation of church and state, and impose one narrow religious doctrine on all Missourians. That lawsuit proceeds after the Friday ruling.

My Torah for this Shabbat, as delivered this past Sunday at #Pride. Because no one can curse a people that God does not wish to curse and our love will always win out.

1 for Jews except too many Jews are thinking about who gives us political power and not who even who is more or less likely to harm us.

I’m so deeply ashamed at Muslim leaders analyzing whether to ally with the political left or right based on who is more likely to “exterminate” us (🙄) rather than which party’s values are more broadly closer to Islam, ie kinder, more tolerant, more loving and gentle

ALT After a month of celebrating the beauty and diversity of our LGBTQIA community, the Supreme Court has dropped yet another ruling that strikes down protections for marginalized people, punishing them based on who they love and how they express themselves. "No matter what any ruling says, St. Louis stands firmly with our LGBTQIA community to ensure they are protected and welcome no matter who they love or how they identify. This decision only strengthens our resolve to reject blatant discrimination and push for a more inclusive city and region."

Let’s go, MO!
The tide is turning on anti-trans bills.
They are resoundingly being seen as unconstitutional in courts.
This map shows the fate of gender affirming care bans for trans youth. A month ago, this map was almost entirely red.
Now, significant chunks of the USA have access again!

Absolute must read:
Our Jewish cmty isnt immune to this
reality. Yet Jewish leaders are grappling with how to best support people. Imagine if 1/4 of all Jews were questioning their basic civil rights, access to medical care, security over their bodies, or whether to leave home?

Big big "Yasher Koach" to Nate Looney at @jfederations for adding his personal experience to the conversation happening about issues impacting our states and the beloved community members who live in them.

Amazing!
Kentucky and Tennessee gender affirming care bans were just blocked in court and ruled as likely unconstitutional.
States are 0-6 on gender affirming care bans.
Banning gender affirming care for trans youth is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
WE JUST KEEP WINNING!
BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Every federal court so far has blocked or rejected these bans as discriminatory and dangerous.

Remember that time during the Trump administration when government employees were resigning with secret messages in acrostic and then we all just moved on?
