We are taught that many destructions of Jewish life throughout history all fell on the same day on the calendar. How can a human heart contain all this suffering? Tisha b'Av teaches us a spirituality of solidarity--one person's suffering is connected to our own.

All we need is editors who want to work on such things. So--tag your people who have this skill. I would want to compensate for this work (no funding streams yet but this labor is VALUABLE!) And, if someone also wants to offer their serious skill up for free to the movement, it is so welcome.

We're talking queer, Disabled, non and anti-Zionist, artists, Jews by choice...really amazing teachers whose voices are missing in this medium (to say the frikken least!)

Thanks for listening!

These men were partners, fathers, sons, friends, neighbors. They were all immigrants to the United States. Immigrants are, and always have been, what makes America great. May their memories be for a blessing and a comfort to all who mourn them.

I have sung this song to my son every day of his life when we go down stairs, with one modification to the lyrics: "I will carry you down the staircase." When I told Rena this story, they recorded his version, a family fave.
