A special blessing

https://thehouseofvines.com/2019/12/15/the-essence-of-our-religion-is-beauty/?page_id=44017

I agree with this to a degree…beauty, devotion, sacrifice.

I have a fellowship at my university, the Jewish studies fellowship, and one of the things I learned this year is that it’s considered a special blessing to do your required action, use / wear your required items but *make them beautiful.* I forget what this is called in Hebrew, but to make religious things beautiful instead of just functional adds to the blessing.

Yesterday, I was listening to a lecture on St. Francis (he’s very, very popular amongst my students, even non-Catholic ones!) and while Francis reverenced his “lady Poverty,” he said that, to quote the lecture, “Poverty stops at the altar.” Religious items should be as lush and beautiful as we can make them.

As a Heathen, I also hold this to be particularly sacred. Even if one doesn’t have a lot of money or any disposable income, beauty can take many forms. This doesn’t mean spending a lot of money. It means taking care with one’s shrine, with prayer, with religious garb, with anything we do for our Gods. It’s a Platonic ideal that beauty elevates the soul to the Gods and I believe that 100%. When I see ugliness being elevated as popular or “good” in media, in our culture, I know that there evil moves in many forms. I know to be vigilant; and I know to turn to tradition and the beautiful all the more.

Gen X. Dyslexic. Couldn't read properly until I was 11. Still sometimes can't tell left from right. Read more than two pages and I've already forgotten what I just read. That's just how my brain is wired. So I never did get more than a GED. Worked the ER as a patient advocate — on overnights I was the administrator on duty. Managed public communications at a 711-bed hospital in Brooklyn NY. Political organizer — worked the 2008 Obama campaign in Michigan and Ohio. Pro Union Pacifist. Follower of Jesus Christ. Convinced faith doesn't have walls. Traveled to Canada, Spain, the Philippines, and Peru. Love different cultures. Fred Rogers and Jane Elliott are my lifelong heroes.

Not bad for a GED.

What does it feel like to love someone Jewish in a world that still wants us gone?

My husband could answer that better than I can.
He is the one who blocks the hate so I don’t have to see it first. He has been doing it for three years without me asking. And somewhere along the way - he started to weep for my people.

I wrote about that and will publish it on Substack tomorrow. About him. About what it costs to love a Jewish woman in this world right now. About the question neither of us can answer.

It’s the most personal thing I’ve ever published about him, us, our interfaith marriage.

Stay close.

The practice of collective prayer serves as a vital social and spiritual cohesive, facilitating a shared sense of purpose and ethical alignment within diverse communities.

"Unity in Prayer: A Shared Journey of Faith and Hope." For those interested in the sociology of religion, community building, and the psychological benefits of shared ritual, this is an excellent resource.

Ret Army Maj Gen Randy Manner, who was second-in-command at the #NationalGuard 2011–2012, has worked in recent years to train hundreds of #interfaith #military #chaplains. Manner said he has talked with “dozens & dozens” of active-duty chaplains in recent weeks who say those who don’t identify with #Hegseth “are being marginalized.”

#US #military leaders have long understood the power & perils of invoking faith — especially in #wartime.

Facing the Germans in WWII, Gen. George Patton ordered a chaplain to write an #interfaith prayer for #troops to say on the battlefield.

It took just a week in September 2001 for #Defense Sec #DonaldRumsfeld to change the name of the campaign against terrorism from Operation Infinite Justice to Operation Enduring Freedom — a switch meant to clarify that the US was not in a #religious #war.

Monks Arrival After 15 Weeks of Walking Fills DC Streets With Peace and Compassion

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/monks-arrival-after-15-weeks-of-walking-transforms-dc-into-realm-of-peace-and-compassion/

Zohran Mamdani is set to host the mayor’s interfaith breakfast on Friday, keeping alive an annual tradition that brings together hundreds of religious leaders - but Jewish involvement in the event will look different this time around.

That’s because at least three groups that have sponsored the last few editions of the event - UJA-Federation of New York, the New York Board of Rabbis, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) - are not sponsoring this year’s.

“For years, ADL has proudly sponsored the NYC Mayor’s annual Interfaith Breakfast as a vital opportunity to build bridges and foster understanding across New York City’s diverse faith communities. This year, ADL was not invited to attend,” said Scott Richman, regional director of ADL New York and New Jersey.

… the only thing that would justify a Royal Commission is if the scope were to be expanded to include all Politicians, Media Commentators, and any other public figures who have had influence on the (anti-)human rights narrative in Australia.
