"Over the centuries, #American #Jews have built a vast religious landscape in which no single institution or orthodoxy can reign supreme or dictate how #Judaism should be practised. Such free market Judaism has produced a panoply of diverse religious #Jewish life, but it has also made collective representation more difficult.
Who ends up speaking on behalf of American Jews when #antisemitism spikes? Who testifies on Capitol Hill before Congress? Who can synthesise the concerns of #Orthodox, #Reform, #Conservative and unaffiliated Jews without pretending their differences don’t exist?
Whether #America ever gets a chief #rabbi again or a universally-accepted council of chief #rabbis may be beside the point. What isn't beside the point is that at a time of disturbing levels of antisemitism and a Jewish community fractured by politics, some kind of unity, however America chooses to build it, has never felt more necessary."

"When #Rabbi #EdRosenthal, Founder & CEO of #RepairtheSea, received an unexpected phone call two years ago from #RachelleBurk, he had no idea that the conversation would turn into something much bigger than he could have imagined. Rachelle #Burk, an acclaimed #childrensbook #author and avid scuba diver, asked #Rabbi Ed if he would be interested in a #book for young readers to share his love of the Sea and his desire to protect it that she would write. Having written a number of other #Jewish children’s #books including “She’s a #Mensch! Jewish Women Who Rocked the World” and “Space #Torah: Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman’s Cosmic #Mitzvah,” Rachelle shared with Rabbi Ed that, as a scuba diver, she had always wanted to write a book about the undersea world. Featuring Rabbi Ed and Repair the Sea’s Reverse #Tashlich program would be the perfect way to accomplish that goal."

Послухайте, борці з корупцією і їхні прихильники — ви наблизилися до червоних, ми б навіть сказали до брунатних, каштанових ліній (а може аж до ліній кольору дитячої несподіванки). Якщо ви продовжите свій рух в цей бік і спробуєте (не дай їхній бог) звинуватити Його! Вам всім інкримінують антисемітизм і заперечення Голокосту. Потім не кажіть, що ми вас не попереджали... -
"What does it mean to be a #barmitzvah? How does one keep up the momentum long after reaching the age of 13? What are a girl’s obligations when she becomes a #batmitzvah? These questions and more are thoroughly explored and answered in the newest #book by #Rabbi #YehoshuaAlt. Phenomenal Insights about Bar Mitzvah and #Tefillin gathers insights from throughout the Torah to present more than 50 engaging #essays on the significance of bar mitzvah and tefillin. #Written in a clear and accessible style, this book is suitable for #Jews of all ages, and would especially make a wonderful bar mitzvah present."
