As I observe the High Holidays, I join with the grassroots movement of Jews who are recommitting to resisting genocide.
Demonstrators from Jewish Voice for Peace protest Israel's genocidal war on Gaza at the Cannon House Office Building on July 23, 2024, in Washington, D.C.In Judaism, the first 10 days of the new year — a period we are observing this week — are a time of committed reflection.
On July 23, 400 members of Jewish Voice for Peace peacefully occupied the United States Capitol to demand that the United States stop funding the Israeli military as it destroys life and land in Gaza. I was surrounded by my community, hundreds of Jewish Americans who are resolutely committed to the freedom and safety of Palestinians. We reject the way the Israeli government has manipulated our sacred tradition to justify the mass murder of Palestinians.
During this most sacred period of the Jewish calendar, it is my prayer that we can continue to resist and speak out as we see the people of Gaza being bombed, starved and buried under rubble. We must keep speaking out because death has not stopped. When I recite the Shema, I am reminded that Jewish safety is intertwined with Palestinian safety, that no one is free until all of us are free.
