This is basically what I've done all my life and I'm a huge fan.

Remember that this is an extremist ideology that goes against all the best science about what's good for kids. We need to be ready to push back hard.

I love teen education so much, I woke up at 5:30am to teach a Holocaust lesson at a local Middle School. How did I do this every day as a kid?? How do TEACHERS do this every day?? (Not a morning person - can you tell?)

Just added Mr el Ahmed to our congregation's healing list. What a mensch.
"In the aftermath of the mass shooting, which left the country and its Jewish community reeling, Mr. el Ahmed’s bravery provided much-needed solace.
Mr. el Ahmed, a Syrian-born fruit seller, risked his life and likely prevented the massacre from being even worse, officials said."

Two people tried to extinguish the light of Chanukah through murderous violence.
But was is one man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, whose flashlight shone through the darkness they wrought, a reminder of Chanukah’s message that in the longest of nights, a tiny flame can dispel much darkness.

This is the Jewish-Muslim solidarity I know and treasure. Prayers up for his speedy healing and gratitude for his courage.
The unarmed man who ran towards the shooter, and grabbed his rifle was a Lebanese Muslim and an immigrant to Australia.

No, because you can't do it. It's not your grandmother. It's a machine pretending to be her, which is creepy and weird and disrespectful to her memory and lived experience.

If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers*
