I'm proud to announce the start of a new project, Shalom V'Tzedek a #Yeshiva (or school of #Jewish learning) that will focus on promoting Unbound #HumanisticJudaism, with a special focus on #Shalom (#peace) and #Tzedek (#Justice).
We have lots of work in progress, but for this summer we will be focusing on two things:
1. A monthly #AntiFascist book discussion group
2. A monthly book discussion group that will be looking for the Torah (teachings or wisdom) in the Tales of the City series of books by #ArmisteadMaupin

"In its heyday, #BethEl was the spiritual home to as many as 1,800 families. Its spiritual leaders have been distinguished leaders of #Reform #Judaism. They engaged the first ordained woman #cantor, #BarbaraOstfeld, to offer prayers in its magnificent sanctuary, which had been designed by #LouiseNevelson.
But things change. Recently, an #Iranian/#Sephardic #yeshiva purchased Temple Beth-El.
Many of my friends who grew up at Beth-El experience this as a kind of a loss. I see it as a story of #Jewish transformation.
The #Persian/Iranian Jewish community is among the oldest continuous Jewish communities in the world, going back even further than Cyrus the Great. The #Hebrew Bible ends with him inviting the Jews of his realm to return to #Jerusalem, while those who stayed behind in #Persia built a rich culture, literature and traditions.
Then came the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and we are still living with its aftermath."

I attended Chabad #dayschool as a child. I have my issues with them, for sure, but one of them is not the quality of my secular #education. When I moved to public school in 10th grade I was well-prepared, and I went on to attend the college of my choice.
These NY #yeshivot, however, are a different story. They're attempting to create here what they've successfully created in #Israel: an entire generation of adults unable to make any contribution to society whatsoever; unable to make a living anywhere outside the #haredi community; unable to speak the language of their country; unable to act as informed citizens of a #democracy; and ultimately, unable to raise children of their own who are not similarly handicapped.
Torah-observant #Jews needn't be so isolated from the greater community.
Good for #NewYork for insisting that NY children be given the opportunity to become educated, fully-participating members of society.

#Israel / High Court is hearing petitions challenging the military exemption for ultra-Orthodox #yeshiva students
This is a contentious issue that has sparked mass protests outside the court in Jerusalem. The "Movement for Quality Government", joined by "Brothers and Sisters in Arms" and 240 citizens, petitioned the court, arguing that Defense Minister Yoav #Gallant is illegally exempting tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox youths from military service, defying the law and court rulings. Last week, the state told the High Court of Justice that unless a military draft bill is advanced by April 1, ultra-Orthodox men will be conscripted to the army.
A reminder of the potential consequences of integrating settlers and ultra-Orthodox into the #IDF/#IOF:
[...] The Netzah Yehuda battalion was originally set up to allow ultra-Orthodox Israelis to serve in the military. But over the years, the unit has attracted not only some of the most religious soldiers, but also a growing number of far-right extremists, including many settlers. Unlike other units, enlistment in Netzah Yehuda is voluntary; until recently, it was deployed exclusively in the West Bank, where its members were in daily contact with Palestinians living under occupation. As such, the unit — whose name is an acronym for “Haredi Military Youth” — was known for getting “a lot of action,” the former member said.
[...] The harassment and dehumanization of Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation are a daily affair, and Netzah Yehuda soldiers are hardly the only culprits. But on some occasions, the unit’s actions in the West Bank escalated into gross human rights violations and potential war crimes. Since 2015, members of the unit have killed several Palestinians and beaten and tortured others with electric shocks, according to documentation submitted by DAWN to the ICC, which in 2021 opened an investigation into alleged crimes committed in the occupied territories.

Hadar’s #Rabbinic #Yeshiva Intensive (RYI) aims to refill the spiritual and intellectual wells of #rabbis from across the denominational and geographical spectrum through text study and meaningful conversation.
It offers a remarkable space for rabbis of all backgrounds to come together to learn resonant and relevant Torah in Hadar’s beit midrash. -

HOW TO ARGUE JEWISHLY
Analytical criticism – argumentation – is an essential part of #Judaism in the Mishnah and #Talmud. It is part of every #yeshiva and Hebrew school. Note that Jewish arguments are aimed at reasoning and conclusions, but not ad homenim.
“Just as a knife can be sharpened only on the side of another, so a disciple of a sage improves only through his chaver” - #Midrash Genesis Rabbah
We take a closer look here

This week's #Torah #Kasha #Parsha #LechLecha #Judaism
In #yeshiva, I learned that promises of good or rewards in #Tanakh are guaranteed, but promises of punishments are not neccesary, they 're like warnings. So for example when #Hashem promises success through the #Navi, it's guaranteed, but if He promises #exile, it's possible to avoid it.
If so, then why did so many #Rishonim try to calculate the #400years of slavery? Why didn't they just say "The warning no longer applied after ~200 years"
