Community

The line between Zionist and non-Zionist or anti-Zionist is thinner than you might expect, as is the boundary between people willing and unwilling to say that Israel is an apartheid state.
What we think of as a need for accommodation is more like a need for community.
In our shared community spaces, we take responsibility for centering the needs and safety of the most impacted people.
Resisting tyranny together does not mean that we agree about everything.
It is a moment of tectonic shift in the ever-evolving expression and experience of Jewish life.
By its very nature, a covenant between individuals limits what each individual party can do.
Jewish leadership is reimagined not as a seat at the table but as avodah, a sacred offering of service.
Today, Israel is more a source of division in the Jewish world than it is a source of unity.
A true community is one in which members share an understanding of mutual concern and obligation.
The really essential mitzvah in our community is showing up, being present.
