This morning's learning is dedicated to the memory of George Floyd z"l. Every breath I take renews my commitment to stand with those whose breath is taken away, to stand with those leaders who commit to correcting their ways, to those who march for justice. I will not be distracted by those few who seek to infect civil protest with destruction. I am proud to be part of UJA-Federation of New York's response to this moment, calling for #JusticeForGeorge and recommitting to our ongoing work for racial justice. What can you do today to lift up the memory of George Floyd and Eric Garner and Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin and Breonna Taylor and Tamir Rice and countless other Black women and men who should still be alive today? We have much work ahead. Seeking justice is an ancient mandate and a current, urgent call. We are each other's sisters and brothers.
