So today I officiated my first funeral in the time of social distancing. My clergy colleagues have been doing this for weeks, they’ve been thru so much more. I’m in awe. But I wanted to share. Mostly to process. Partially to inform. Thread.

Speaking as another Jew: You're a fucking shanda and if there were only nine of us gathered and it was the morning of my father's yahrzeit and you stumbled in and promised to just sit in the corner and shut up, I'd say, sorry, no, we don't have a minyan.

As welcome as this ruling is, the sad fact is that it will not be enough to pressure the NYPD to clean up its act. Why? Because not only don’t they pay these fees… Not only don’t they budget for these settlements… They don’t even track them! 3/4

In 2022, NYers had to pay out $121M in NYPD misconduct settlement fees — the most in 5 years. That’s nearly 4x what the Mayor is trying to cut from libraries, forcing them to slash hours, services, & programs. I asked the PD what our tab will be this year. Watch their response.



This matters

But now the federal government has the opportunity to do right by the primarily Hispanic and Indigenous New Mexican communities and pass the expansion and extension of RECA. There can be no time wasted. (7/7) apnews.com/article/oppenh…

This is an amazing video from around an hour ago of the protest march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem against Netanyahu's judicial overhaul. Thousands of Israelis are marching in a mile long procession. It is 95°F outside (35°C). Watch here:

What gets me the most is ‘religious’ people who prove their ‘religiousness’ thru cruelty Is there a more misused term than ‘religious?’


Get stories correct

I am not the first Black lesbian rabbi, and I have never claimed to be the first Black lesbian rabbi. Published sources that say this are wrong. Also, I was never a Christian and was not raised as a Christian. Published sources that say that are also wrong. Please retweet/share

Netanyahu’s Justice Min., Levin, explains why Judge selection must change: “Jews don’t want to live next to Arabs in cities where Arabs bought apartments. That drives Jews out. We need judges who understand this”. Now, replace “Jews” with “Germans” and “Arabs” w. “Jews”. Get it ?
