The fearmongering we have seen from some Jewish institutions and leaders surrounding Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is harmful, overblown, and risks needlessly deepening divisions in the city and in our community. ๐งต
Mamdani brings Rooseveltian vision, youthful energy and pragmatic hope to the Big Apple. Wishing our Democratic nominee great success today.
Who is wise? One who learns from all people. Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world. (Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers)
๐๐ Countries are strengthening their #NDCs, but current pledges still leave big emissions gaps. See how far we are from a 1.5ยฐC or 2ยฐC pathway, and where progress is happening. Explore the data: bit.ly/4o2vN2y
Yesterday, extremist Israelis in the West Bank slaughtered sheep on a Palestinian farm. Today, more extremists assaulted Palestinian olive harvesters, forcing them to leave the area and scatter the olives they had picked. I know itโs hard to hear. I know when I report theseโฆ

Reposting โ Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum at the Mamdani rally last night: โAs a rabbi, I am grateful to Zohran for his commitment to fight antisemitism, for his commitment to protect all houses of worship, and to take seriously the fear that many Jewish communities live with.โ
Today, Standing Together activists went to the West Bank again along with the organization Rabbis for Human Rights to assist Palestinians in the olive harvest.
Einstein addressing a conference of Labor Zionists in 1938: โmy awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish State, with borders, an army and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustainโ
Itโs highly dishonest to present this as blanket support for the Zionism we see today when Einstein was a member of Brit Shalom who supported the formation of a bi-national state, opposed partition, and were deeply pacifist.
๐ฅMore from Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "Oh woe is me, we offended the Saudis, goodness gracious. How terrible and awful. We managed for 77 years without the Saudis. We'll manage another 77 years without them." bit.ly/4o7awEr
๐ฅIsraeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "If Saudi Arabia wants normalization in exchange for a Palestinian state, no thanks. They can keep riding camels in the desert."
Do you also reject the Kaddish Derabanan every day: . . . upon all those who occupy themselves with the Torah, here or in any other place, upon them and upon you, may there be abundant peace, grace, kindness, compassion, long life, ample sustenance and deliverance . . .

But can you tell me the values embedded in this weekโs parshah (itโs Lech Lโcha, just read it from the Sefer Torah this morning)? Itโs about transformation for Godโs sake, resolving conflict, and not treating women as objects. Come back when youโve got that part right.
