Suggesting that Jews are disloyal for exercising the right to vote is irresponsible and dangerous. Political and religious freedom are hallmarks of this nation and protect people of all faiths and no faith. Stop using the Jewish community to score political points.

This.
It is an honor beyond what I can describe to carry the same title as Al Vorspan and to steward @theRAC, an organization that exists because of his vision and dedication. May his memory be for a blessing. nytimes.com/2019/02/19/obi…

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.
Jewish activists sit and sing over warnings from Capitol Police. We will not be moved until we get a clean #DreamActNow #LetMyPeopleStay
Couldn't be more proud of my colleagues and friends today for this powerful, peaceful action in support of Dreamers. Our community will not back down. #LetMyPeopleStay!

Miriam Chilton describing our Reform Jewish youth- “Enthusiastically Jewish!” #URJBiennial
How incredible is that just 3 weeks after the California files devastated the @URJCampNewman grounds, registration is open for Camp Newman By the Bay for Summer 2018. You can still give to the #NewmanStrong campaign: campnewman.org/newmanstrong #URJBiennial #NewmanStrong
