CW: Pride month, Jewish text study
I was honored to be the speaker yesterday for my synagogue’s annual Pride Shabbat. Writing this was a joy, and speaking these words to my congregation was an incredible moment. @Rob_T_Firefly suggested that it might be worth sharing to a broader audience - and his suggestions are always worth taking. #PrideShabbat #DvarTorah #Visibility #Behaalotekha #Judaism #Torah #GrammarNerd #Jewniverse #Mazeldon https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fHmvUl_Orr1NlgvD8LOTSTOs6gMaSDRA

I heard a #DvarTorah this weekend that has challenged me in a good way - to seek to recognize the coexistence of two great tragedies at the same time (the ongoing suffering of the Israeli hostages and those who were injured and killed by #Hamas on October 7th), as well as the ongoing horrific suffering of the #Palestinian people in #Gaza, including the deaths, injuries, displacement and destruction of so many civilians.
We should not let anyone limit our love and our solidarity, and we should not let anyone tell us to quit caring and to quit working for #Peace and and #SocialJustice for all.
The tension between my emotions involving these two tragedies is real, but I also think that more than ever it is essential to stay in the tension and to even embrace it. The easy route is to "pick a side," but I tink the better route is to embrace the common humanity of all of the victims of war and violence.

In this episode:
1. Podcast roundup - including highlights from recent episodes of #JudaismUnbound, #Chutzpod, and the #WonderingJews podcast.
2. A short #DvarTorah on 2 verses of #Parasha #Tetzaveh (of particular interest to any working artists out there)
3. A quick personal update as it relates to this #podcast. -
"A rabbi used ChatGPT to write a sermon. He said his congregation's reaction made him 'deathly afraid' — but that it won't put him out of work just yet."
There's a video of the dvar torah, what do you think?
(It won't put us out of business just yet either, but it's interesting to watch)
