The abortion checkpoints are about to begin.
Freedom is when it's illegal to use a public road in Texas to travel for an abortion.
As we say here in Colorado, "Texas, south until you smell it, east until you step in it!"

Our shul doors are always locked. Even on shabbos. You have to be let in. Every synagogue I know has security, seen or unseen. Security to go and pray in community. To go to a class. To go meet with the rabbi. Wouldn’t it be amazing if it was all unnecessary?
“someone called the police to say that a bomb would detonate in 20 minutes at Temple Beth Tikvah, a local congregation. Rabbi Mati Kirschenbaum could be seen on Facebook Live interrupting services and announcing “we need to stop and leave the building right now.””
