2/3 we stand with you against this terrible infringement of your rights and your safety. May God bless us all.”
Estamos escandalizados al enterarnos acerca de las redadas de ICE en la comunidad de inmigrantes.
Ustedes son nuestros vecinos, nuestros amigos, nuestra familia.
1/3 Please watch this message of love, strength, & support to our immigrant communities from Rabbi Sharon Brous.
“We are horrified to read of the ICE raids on our immigrant communities in Los Angeles today. You are our neighbors, our friends, our family. Our strength is in our diversity—

"If you can't unequivocally condemn attacks against Jews b/c you hold them collectively responsible for the decisions of the most hard-right ministers in Israel’s history then you aren't anti-war, anti-racist, or anti-genocide, you're an antisemite."@allinwithchris.bsky.social

R' @sharonbrous.bsky.social at IKAR (@weareikar.bsky.social) last week.
On the religious law of shmita, the murders in DC, Oct 7, antisemitism, racism, the dignity of every human life, & the simple fact the horrors in Gaza are chillul Hashem, a desecration of God's name.
Please watch/listen:
It’s time for the #CALeg to MAKE. POLLUTERS. PAY.
It’s time to pass the #PollutersPay #ClimateSuperfund Act, which will fund resilience and recovery by making the fossil fuel industry pay for the damages it causes.
This is a critical moment, make your voice heard! Dayenu.org/take-action-california
In this time of so much heartache, we wrap the victims’ brokenhearted families in loving arms. May their memories be a blessing.
22.05.2025 14:22 — 👍 6 🔁 4 💬 0 📌 0At a DC event dedicated to celebrating Jewish heritage tonight, a young couple— both of whom worked at the Israeli Embassy— was shot and killed. We are sickened by this act of murder. Terrorist violence is never justified; this is not the path to a just and peaceful future.

We thank God for the safe return of Edan Alexander after 584 days in captivity. We cry out for the return of the remaining 58 hostages, for an end to this catastrophic war, and for immediate humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. The time for a just peace is now!
