A reminder that Palestine is as much the birthplace of Christianity as it is of Judaism. Simply calling themselves Jewish does not endow people with any exceptional claim on the lands of Palestine.

The Chosen (Movie on Discord)
Sunday, April 27, 2025
6:00 PM PT - 8:00 PM PT
The Chosen (1981) is a powerful, emotionally rich film that brings Chaim Potok’s beloved novel to life with depth and grace.
Set in 1940s Brooklyn, it follows the unlikely friendship between two Jewish boys—Reuven, a Modern Orthodox Zionist, and Danny, the brilliant son of a strict Hasidic rabbi. Through their evolving relationship, the film explores the tension between tradition and modernity, the complexities of father-son dynamics, and the heartache of conflicting identities.
It’s a deeply human story that sheds light on different facets of Jewish life with empathy and nuance, making it resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to balance community, family, and personal growth.

From Beit Toratah:
Join us for the study of Exodus 34, this Sunday 1–3PM ET.
We are continuing in the most intimate of moments between Tehovah and Mosha.After Mosha shattered the first tablets, Tehovah told her to sculpt for herself new ones.
Mosha climbed Mount Sinotai alone, where Tehovah descended in a cloud and revealed Herself.
In a moment both majestic and intimate, Tehovah passed before her, as Mosha called out: “Tehovah, Tehovah, womb-like, gracious Goddess, long patient, full of kindness and justice.”

UK: Rabbis condemn Israel in latest show of Jewish opposition to #Gaza war
#Rabbis from Liberal and Reform movements say they are 'horrified' by conflict, as Board of Deputies members face disciplinary action for speaking out
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE

Published date: 25 April 2025 15:17 BST
"“We stand with all those in Israel-#Palestine seeking to bring about a just and lasting peace. We share in their call for an end to the bombing; an end to the siege; and the safe release of the hostages.”
The rabbis' intervention appears to hint at growing frustration and impatience within #British #Jewish communities towards the staunchly pro-#Israel stance and claims to leadership of conservative Jewish institutions such as the Board of Deputies.
Signatories of the letter include prominent figures within both Reform Judaism and Liberal #Judaism."
