What do the American Gun Violence Epidemic and the Search for Chametz have in common? The recognition that liberation must be a collective truth in order to be true at all and that actually doing our best is the only way to honestly claim that we've one our best.

On this #1YearAnniversary of our UJA-Federation of New York 9am broadcasts, as we receive official recognition by the Village of Scarsdale for the community we've created, as we face yet another explosion of racism in America, this time violently aimed at Asian Americans, we must demonstrate with our action again the core Jewish truth: "Your neighbor is not abstraction." #allies #stopaapihate #StopAsianHate #StopAsianHateCrimes
A Statement by Susannah Heschel: "The cold blooded murder of eight human beings, six of them Asian women, is a horrific signal to all of us of the increasing violence against Asians in the US and the continued, relentless violence against women - women of all ages, races, nationalities. Hatred of women is the most reliable predictor of murder and mass murder."

A Vaccine Prayer
Rabbi Menachem Creditor
Dear God,
after all the loss,
the distance, the sadness, the aloneness,
Give me life. Grant me back Your world. Please.
Give my children reason for hope. Please. Please.
Holy Healing One,
May the vaccine I'm about to receive be a sign that healing is arriving once again in our world, for all Your worried children.
May my body's temporary discomfort sensitize me to the needs of this fragile world that remain invisible to the eye.
May my body's pent-up tension, held back during an unfathomable year of constriction and stress, be channeled in a healthy way for those around me.
May the scientists and doctors and nurses who have served as your angels and saved our world be granted restoration of soul and healing of mind.
I pledge before You, Source of All, to do as much good as I can as long as my soul is within me.
May I be granted a life filled by the honor of serving You by serving others.
Thank You. Goodness.
Thank You. Healing.
Thank You. Life.
Amen.

Today we began learning Torah again, celebrating a #Siyyum, a completion of the entire Torah last Friday. #ChazakChazakVenitchazek #SiyyumHaTorah #HafochBah #BeginAgain #MorningTorah #BuildOnLove
I dedicate our year of Torah to my precious parents, who blessed me with Torah from even before I was born, to my holy wife, for holding my heart with such love and wisdom, and to my UJA-Federation of New York colleague Mark Medin, for championing this online experiment a year ago. Thank you, friends, for sharing the journey.

On Finishing a Year of Torah
*SPECIAL MOMENT* Today marked the end of an entire Torah cycle of 9am broadcasts on the UJA-Federation of New York Facebook page. There we've gathered with thousands of good, kind souls, every morning since March 18, 2020 to learn Torah, to strengthen each other, to engage in our world, and to build community. Monday morning at 9am, we will celebrate a #siyyum of the entire Torah, beginning again where the strange and winding sacred path launched one year ago. May we be blessed to experience love for each other and our world through Torah morning and night. #MorningTorah #ShabbatShalom

Black History Month was first proposed by black educators and the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. Clearly the learning isn't a month's task. It's a life task. The commitment to exploring Black History is not limited to a month. it is an always thing. May we be blessed to be deeply and consistently engaged with listening and learning from the wisdom and the experiences of Black voices in America.
