This week, we dive into the Israel-Palestine crisis, reflecting on the struggles and the urgent call for peace. Recorded just before Rosh Hashanah and the one-year mark of the October 7th attacks, the conversation focuses on the need for moral leadership to stand against violence and authoritarianism.
The State of Belief host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush is joined by Rabbi Jill Jacobs, CEO of T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, to talk about navigating the complexities of condemning violence on all sides, the power of interfaith collaboration, and the crucial role of religious communities—especially Jewish and Palestinian voices—in pushing for peace and justice. She also highlights ways that antisemitism can be a precursor to the erosion of a democracy.
Rabbi Jill also shares inspiring stories of hope: Israelis protesting for peace, Palestinians resisting extremism, and partnerships across divides. “What gives me hope,” she says, “are the people, despite great losses, still fighting for justice and peace instead of turning to violence.”
Rabbi Jill Jacobs is a leading voice in Jewish social justice, the CEO of T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, and author of Where Justice Dwells: A Hands-On Guide to Doing Social Justice in Your Jewish Community.
