I signed what's come to be known as the #JewishHarpersLetter supporting open discourse and I want to take a moment to explain why. You can read the letter and my fellow original signatories here: jilv.org/be-heard/
First, I should point everyone to this fantastic piece by David L. Bernstein, a veteran Jewish community official, about his role in trying to facilitate dialogue and being told to account for 'white' Jewish 'complicity' in racist systems jewishjournal.com/commentary/334…
A major concern of mine is the way Jews do not fit in to America's dominant model of discourse on race. Few things can make US Jews so clearly 'otherized' than the erasure that comes with being told your participation is determined by the shade of your skin tone.
