What happens when one memory is replaced by another, when a moment of discernment is replaced by an act of force?
The people are free, but Moses is caught between past and future, and the consequences are tragic.

The protest movement has unleashed a virulent and dangerous antisemitism that endangers Jews, threatens democracy, and undermines the fight for justice and liberation for Palestinians. We must do better. What we need is a movement fueled by empathy and moral imagination. One that recognizes that both peoples have suffered terribly. That neither is leaving. That a just future is possible for everyone.

[BBE] Magic 8 - Parshat Tazria

The free person, awake and humble, can acknowledge the
truth that emerges from various even contradictory perspectives. This is not a
sign of weakness, but of spiritual liberation. Perhaps that the very essence of
freedom is growing in spaciousness.

Training Our Hearts in Spaciousness - Rabbi Sharon Brous

How can we ensure that the Passover Seder is not performative, but 
transformative? When we open our doors to those who are hungry, 
something in our hearts opens too. This is how we begin to write a new 
liberation story.

Since October 7, The New Israel Fund has been funding emergency support 
and resettlement for Israelis forced from their homes, and they have 
been supporting Israelis and Palestinians working together for a just 
future. They have now launched a campaign to feed the people of Gaza 
living at the brink of famine through the World Central Kitchen and The 
International Rescue Committee. The humanitarian crisis there is a moral
 catastrophe, and it is a Jewish moral obligation to feed those who are 
hungry. I hope you’ll join me in support of this campaign.
