New York City, meet our MAYOR @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!!!
פְּתַח לָֽנוּ שַֽׁעַר בְּעֵת נְעִֽילַת שַֽׁעַר כִּי פָנָה יוֹם!
As the sun begins to set, one final canvassing shift, and then off to (BH) celebrate with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🙏
Honestly, this phrase, from the end of Yom Kippur is on my mind:
"Open a door, as the gates are closing!"

Today is a good day to repost this!
So proud that I was the first pulpit rabbi to have @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social attend a Shabbat service during this campaign 💞
This was in February, when he was polling at 4%! We couldn't even have him speak (though I personally wanted...), but he joined us!!!

I love being called stupid by a wannabe fascist dictator. It proves how right we are!

There is something so powerful about kiddush:
After an emotionally intense week, after a day of cooking and emotion regulation - food is ready, and now just take an intentional break to mark the moment 🤔
Always does wonders to my state of mind!

My personal life has taught me a thing or two about it.
Yet, our tradition teaches, and our history as a wandering people has taught us, that it is exactly by taking those hard steps that we can find and create a reality that works for us, within our communities.

In Talmudic commentary it's interpreted as "Go for yourself: for your good and for your pleasure." The "go to yourself" can also be read as "go find yourself!"
Going, leaving, taking steps into the unknown, into something and somewhere outside of what would be more comfortable, is never easy.

At the end of the day though, it encourages my resolve to keep fighting for what's right.
I have been thinking a lot this week about this week’s parsha (Torah portion): Lech Lecha, which literally mean "go for yourself."

I will be honest, as much as the internet has never made me regret fighting for my beliefs long-term, in the short term, it gets rough at times. What happens online, on social media, podcasts, news sites, and more, does at times wear me down in the short term.
