The article doesn't note how many antizionist minyonim are popping up in Brooklyn

Some aren't so public so I won't list them, but I know of at least 3 TradEgal, 1 liberal/nondenominational, and 1 orthodox Brooklyn minyon (mine! roshpinoh.nyc) which are explicitly antizionist

I'm quoted but this is the best part 😂

Don't forget the zines!

Finally, an appeal:

Aseel is a Gazan refugee who needs help. She’s a med student in al-Mansura, Egypt, studying and supporting her entire surviving family. She needs help with tuition and basic expenses.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to Palestine

May we continue to argue, cite sources, and rebuke. May our Jewish communities rest on foundations of solidarity, strengthened rather than shaken by disagreement. May we live to see a Judaism free of the scourge of ethnonationalism. May we see it because we build it.

I strongly disagree with some of Lexi's rebuttal but more strongly do I believe that discourse between trans Jews is vital, and I'm honored to host such a discussion.

"In depriving women of our davening obligations, Misha upholds the very dynamic that forces observant women into the misogynist position of domestic laborer."

"Misha’s primary critique revolves around the misogynist dynamics of care work: 'When everyone is equally obligated in everything—in spending so much time studying and davening in shul—who does the domestic labor?'"

"We know that there is no divinely decreed category of 'Man'.

We do not presume there to be an abstract system of theoretical concepts underlying the halakhic process. Therefore, there is no such thing as ‘halakhic gender’ or ‘halakhic sex.’ ‘Woman’ means whatever it means to be a woman."

Lexi asks, "How can we, as feminists, devote our lives to a system of religious obligation like halakha, with its history of misogyny—or any system that makes claims of absolute authority upon us?"

Lexi is responding to my earlier dvar, "The Feminist Case Against Traditional Egalitarianism"

Finally, an appeal:

My friend Kamal needs help. He is struggling to find food and pay for medical treatment for his family in Gaza, and eventually to go to Greece to search for his missing son who fled in a lifeboat.

During Elul, we're tasked with reflecting on ourselves and our communities. What do we want from the people who cheered on the genocide and are now expressing not moral outrage but discomfort with all the death?

What is the value of "I told you so"?

I am assuming that the majority of my followers did not become antizionists in the past 2 years. We entered this war with our eyes open and our hearts aching.

It’s a nice slogan, but the words are meaningless unless we act. Rhetoric without reckoning (thanks @simonerzim.bsky.social & @jewishcurrents.bsky.social) jewishcurrents.org/rhetoric-wit...

Gender loss (and case loss) is happening organically in Yiddish, and they're also opting for the feminine: in Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish people use די ("deh", sometimes spelled דע) for all singular nouns, and the familiar די ("di") for plural

The fact that blusky and insta both flag this image of nude men tenderly, nonsexually embracing as "adult" is exactly why I'm abandoning social media for email lists
