Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz

With Coach Rick Petino at the NY Yankees game!

Here tonight talking about justice with Senator Cory Booker, someone whose moral leadership I admire. @corybooker.com

We're so excited to have just started a robust humanitarian partnership with St. Mary's Food Bank. Our first weekly palettes of food have arrived that we're eager to now take out to the streets!

A hike in the beautiful red rocks of Sedona Arizona
God's earth is so beautiful. We must protect & preserve it.

“I became homeless after being addicted to drugs. I’ve sobered up & tried to do better in my life. My next goal is to get my phone and my own apartment. Your team was not only able to help me get some food and cold drinking water. They were able to help me gain some faith that things will be okay!"

Remember in history class when we thought that if we were alive then that we would have acted boldly?
We're alive now. What we're doing now is what we would have done then.

Our Humanitarian Outreach Team is heading out to the streets for the day!
Please offer us a blessing that we can find the holy people sleeping behind dumpsters, in alleyways, & behind bushes that need us to find them today!!

In the south side of Chicago with this Catholic priest discussing the new Pope’s origins here, our relationships to Jerusalem, & the life of the fine fellow whose funeral he just officiated.
Lots of divisions in society but we can find enormous opportunities for building new bridges of understanding

Praying today outside the Department of Homeland Security for a more just & compassionate immigration system!

And that we can reignite a robust & healthy discourse in the country & shut down the fear-mongering and violence.

May we dream of (& work toward!) a more loving world! Shabbat Shalom!

In the great Salt Lake City, Utah today to see if we can spread (& receive) more light of Torah!
Let's keep learning! Have a beautiful day! #jewishutah

Such a unique joy to walk my dogs before & after work each day!

If you're considering your first dog, I'd highly recommend adopting from a shelter. You rescue them and then they'll rescue you!

As workplace deaths from heat increase, OSHA will now debate the future of the first federal rules to protect workers from extreme heat. We can't let this administration (and the businesses pushing it) to win out over workers who desperately need protections from very dangerous work conditions.

10 years!!
Today marks 10 years since the miracle of my kidney donation!!
I remain so grateful to my wife Shoshana who supported me so much (& who also donated her kidney last year!), to my amazing surgeon (Dr. Chin pictured here), & to the Ribbono Shel Olam!!

Excited to learn & celebrate, as a community, with this Torah! Grateful to my very dear friends, the Blumenthals, for this generous gift!

תּוֹרַת יְהוָ-ה תְּמִימָה, מְשִׁיבַת נָפֶשׁ; עֵדוּת יְהוָ-ה נֶאֱמָנָה, מַחְכִּימַת פֶּתִי

Out of the Ashes Came Light! We just received a Torah! But not just any Torah but one saved from the ashes in Romania where it was desecrated by the Nazis & it was in terrible shape. It was flown to Israel and refurbished and then brought to the States & last night it was flown here to the desert.

Book Review | Everything Matters: A Surprising Take on Spirituality, Ethics and Daily Life I came away feeling that this book ought to be read by all kinds of Jews.

Thank you Rabbi Jack Riemer for this review in @momentmagazine.bsky.social of my new book!

"Police Respond to Attack at a Colorado Event Raising Awareness of Israeli Hostages"

Thinking of my friends in Colorado today after another violent terror attack against Jews who were raising awareness of the plight of Israeli hostages held in the tunnels of Gaza. Praying for peace & solidarity!

Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. BDE

Wishing comfort to the mourners on this tragic, vile act of antisemitic terror.
And wishing strength to fellow Jews, in DC & around the world, who are feeling increasingly less safe tonight.

Just gave my presentation at this international animal advocacy conference & feeling so good about it!

So inspiring to be with hundreds of compassionate global leaders who are committing their lives to reducing suffering!

Such a small thing our team could do but it meant the world to him. Friends, we can bring so much joy & healing together in so many ways! Let's keep building a more compassionate society together!

Our humanitarian bus just pulled up to a man who didn't have any socks & shoes. He told us he just walked miles & his feet were so sore & he said he was in desperate need of shoes. We gave him shoes and emotionally he said: "This is just the best thing that has happened to me this year!"

A pregnant Jewish woman (Tze’ela Gez) was just murdered in a terror attack, while on her way to deliver her baby. Wishing her family so much comfort & praying for the survival of her baby who is in critical condition! Also praying for all remaining hostages & for peace for all!

Excited to share that my newest book was just released!

You can pick it up here:

Missing my wonderful Mom on my second Mother's Day without her here.
I remain so deeply grateful for all the love she showed me.
Wishing a joyful celebration today to all living mothers & families!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

So blessed to be part of this dream!

Here, at our Shower Project, with a new friend from Guatemala who now sleeps on the streets of Mesa, who is benefiting from regular showers and describes them as life-changing.
The ultimate dream is to ensure that no one, anywhere, goes without a shower!
Shabbat Shalom!
