Our hearts are with Michigan and Temple Israel We are not alone, and we refuse to be divided from our neighbors.

"We know that some in power will use this attack to fan the flames of division — antisemitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab bigotry. But our communities must remain in solidarity."

Read a message from Bend the Arc CEO @jamieberan.bsky.social after yesterday's attack at Temple Israel in Michigan.

Sunday in Washington DC 🚨

Join Jews and allies to take action against Signature Aviation — a company that profits from literally fueling ICE deportation flights.

Bring your signs and shofars!

We're horrified at reports of the attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI — the country's largest reform synagogue, with connections to our staff and community.

We're sending love to our Jewish community, and we're grateful for the fast support and solidarity we've seen from our neighbors

Mike Johnson refuses to condemn anti-Muslim comments by Republican lawmakers Andy Ogles said Muslims do not belong in the US and Randy Fine made a comparison of Muslims to dogs

Despicable. And expected.

Hate, fear, and division are all they have to offer.

Not safety. Not healthcare. Not housing.
Not policies to improve our lies.

Hate, fear, and division.

This is what their party stands for.

ADL condemns Zohran Mamdani for hosting Mahmoud Khalil at mayor’s mansion ‘Gracie Mansion belongs to all New Yorkers. Public office must never be used to legitimize hate,’ an ADL spokesperson said

No comments on the Trump administration demanding lists of Jews at Penn, but time to comment on this. The ADL is actively harming American Jews at this point. jewishinsider.com/2026/03/adl-...

Text: "Fetterman, don’t be a schmuck. He wants more money for ICE.  We say NO." Image: John Fetterman. There is also a "Jews Against ICE: Not One More Dollar" logo and a Bend the Arc logo.

Sen. John Fetterman broke with Democrats and voted to give more money to ICE. Thankfully the vote failed, and our fight isn’t over.

Our collective pressure has worked to change his mind in the past, and we can do it again.

Phonebank with us tomorrow, 6:30-8pm ET!

Disgusting Islamophobia from a sitting member of Congress.

This hatred does not belong anywhere in American society – and it certainly does not belong in the halls of Congress.

'Shaken to our core': Jewish community urges action against antisemitism after GTA synagogue shootings | CBC News Jewish community members are calling on the Canadian government and residents to take a stance against hate and antisemitism after three synagogues were hit by gunfire this week in the Greater Toronto...

Sending love and safety to the Toronto Jewish community.

As an organization committed to ending antisemitism here in the U.S., we know that antisemitism and bigotry have no borders.

We must work to dismantle antisemitism everywhere.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot dead by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

ICE killed Ruben Ray Martinez — a U.S. citizen — almost a year before the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Yet another needless death in a needless reign of terror.

It look nearly a year for the truth to come to light, a reminder of how much of their violence goes on unknown.

LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON FIRING OF KRISTI NOEM – Congressman Hakeem Jeffries

"Under her watch, taxpayer dollars have been weaponized by DHS to kill American citizens, brutalize communities and violently target law-abiding immigrant families, all while she paraded around in a luxury jet and wasted public funds to glorify her ICE Barbie self-image."

👏 Now more action, please.

Blind refugee dies in New York after released by immigration Immigration authorities say the Myanmar refugee was dropped at a "warm, safe" location, but New York officials say he was left outside a closed coffee shop.

This was just one week ago.

None of this has to happen.

And there's absolutely no one reason to fund it.

“ICE is an affront to Torah.”

Hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and Jewish leaders turned out to a massive protest outside ICE headquarters in Washington DC.

Organized by @truahrabbis.bsky.social and Bend the Arc, it was the largest-ever Jewish faith protest against ICE.

Watch highlights below:

Goodbye Kristi Noem. We'll never forget the abject cruelty, unspeakable violence, and emboldened white nationalism that flourished during your tenure.

And no matter who runs DHS, our demands remain the same:

Not ONE more dollar should go to fund ICE.

Correct.

We must fight antisemitism. And we cannot fight it by restricting free speech.

Listen to @aclu.org, @splcenter.org @truahrabbis.bsky.social @ncjw.bsky.social, and Hannah Rosenthal — former CEO of Milwaukee Jewish Federations, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, & US envoy on antisemitism.

Perhaps this is the moment for which you were born.

This Purim, we are holding many tensions.

We celebrate Esther's bravery in the face of impending violence.

And we mourn for the ongoing violence in our country and abroad — violence sometimes enacted falsely in the name of our safety.

We must face these tensions as we keep fighting for a world where all are safe, because that is our charge as Jews and allies.

We each have a role to play.

It may be perilous, but we were made for this moment.
