Happy Brooklynite. Lefty in all the ways. Rabbi of West End Synagogue but views here are only my own (She/Her/Hers) www.rabbiemilycohen.com
This morning I voted for a city where I hope to be able to afford to raise my child, where I pray my child will be safe, and where politicians are for and of the people— not above the people.

I voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and I hope you will too

Happy marathon day!!!

Welp, I am no longer in the bad place, but apparently the bad place has thoughts about my friends and me.

Luckily if “ban female rabbis” is the best she could do I think we win?

Love to all of my lady rabbi friends ❤️

The largest #nokings rally this was not but it was sure wholesome to march with neighbors (including many fellow stroller/baby marchers).

I hope that by the time my baby is old enough to make his own decisions about going to protests he won’t need to. But for now I’m glad we’re not alone.

My wildest dreams made manifest. Shabbat shalom y’all

Timeline cleanse. Please enjoy my baby enjoying a tiny pumpkin.

I love him desperately.

I imagine most parents (I know sadly not all) love their children desperately.

Everything I do, I do to make the world better for him and for all children who deserve to grow with joy and light.

Apparently they did not.

But @jfrejnyc.bsky.social came through and a few of us gathered across the street to show @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social a little love as he arrived and give the press some other perspectives on his candidacy

In timeline cleanse: I don’t put my baby’s face on bsky but please observe his sparkly pants that I am so excited it’s cold enough for him to wear

I am once again asking you, people of Bluesky, to please not try to make every single post by a Jew about Palestine.

What’s happening must be talked about. And is being talked about.

And Jews are entitled to engage in their Judaism in other ways as well.

Yeaaahhhh

"Common threads animating this violent [anti-fascist] conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender..."

Happening NOW: New Yorkers Against ICE arrested at Federal Plaza

ICE has been ruthlessly kidnapping immigrant NYers. We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. So should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social

I can see the 9/11 memorial lights clearly from my living room in Brooklyn.

That day really did change everything.

May the memories of all the innocent who died — on that day and in the decades of related wars that have followed— be blessings.

May we build a kinder world.

I’m nearly always aware of the fact that I live and work in NYC. *And* there is a particular delight that I feel when I stumble across stuff like this, get distracted, get worried about running late for a board meeting, and realize I can still book it back to my office in 5 mins.

This is what childhood should be.

Safe parks.
Present parents.
Food and clothing and shelter to go home to.

Every child deserves these things.
American children.
Israeli children.
Palestinian children.
Muslim children.
Christian children.
Jewish children.

All children are ours.
All children.

Please report this account for antisemitic trolling. This is getting ridiculous.

He and Pico have many similar habits in fact
August 22, 2025 at 9:34 PM
The world continues to be a mess but also yesterday Pico turned 13 and celebrated his Meow Mitzvah and I thought yall should know
August 21, 2025 at 7:11 PM
Caturday with Pico (who apparently enjoys putting himself in baby jail at times)
August 10, 2025 at 1:13 AM
My beautiful baby is 8 months old. Healthy. Well-fed. Loved. Safe.

Every child deserves to be healthy, well-fed, loved and safe.

Every child in Gaza, every child in Israel, every child (documented and undocumented) in the US.

Every child.

When that becomes a debate we all lose.
