For the ✡️ #HighHolidays
—if you belong to a congregation you love…enjoy!
If not, there are still many options.
Contact your favorite egalitarian, inclusive shul and see if you can take part in services—in person or virtually—for whatever you can pay without financial hardship.
THIS THREAD will list congregations and groups that offer equal-participation #HighHolidays services, in person and/or virtual, without set “ticket” prices—or at least with the option to give “another amount” (just send it in; no humiliating negotiations or discussion required).
In these times, who needs the tsuris? Not us!
(But enough of that argument. For now).

SOME congregations do it right: they offer access to services that reflect the best of Jewish values—the values we really want for our families and ourselves—on a “give what you can” basis.
Some congregations open all services—in person and virtual —on a freewill-offering basis; others, only their online version.
Some offer outright-free streaming of services.
The standard prayers/prayerbooks can be downloaded—for personal use only—from some congregations’
websites.
And there are still other possibilities.
Do it yourself.
Gather with family, friends, neighbors—or start a havurah by putting out the call on social media.
Gather in person and/or virtually.
Read through the prayers.
Daven along with onscreen services—in the company of others.
Below you will find many free and give-what-you-can options.

Listed here will be ONLY inclusive, egalitarian services/congregations—meaning, AT MINIMUM, all-gender participation in all study and worship; and LGBTQ/Jews-by-choice/all-ethnicities friendliness.
(And maybe more.)
AND listed here will be ONLY those offering at least a freewill-donation alternative to any fixed-price tickets.
With no further hurdle than checking the box for something like “or another amount”, and sending it in. (No humiliating interaction with an authority figure required!)
Below are some places to start your search.
Many more to follow; watch this space!
Feel free to add any other options you know.
(But ONLY those meeting the criteria above; we want ALTERNATIVES to “settling” for ultratraditional services or overextending ourselves financially.)
L’Shanah Tovah!

Hey, California legislators?
You might want to back down from this REUSABLE plastic bag ban you’re pushing!
Or at least table it until next year?
Working people need, use, and reuse those bags—and you don’t want to piss off VOTERS by taking the bags away during an ELECTION YEAR!
ATTENTION CALIFORNIA POLITICIANS:
Neither CA, California Democrats running for re-election, nor the Democratic Party in general needs any further reputation for unnecessary draconian laws that make life harder for regular people!
@casendems @AsmDems
@CAgovernor @Cal_OES @CA_Dem
@casendems @AsmDems @CAgovernor @Cal_OES @CA_Dem We’re getting tired of these FAUXgressive measures that impose extra costs, unpaid labor, and other burdens on working families and other vulnerable populations—while barely making a dent in the problems allegedly addressed.

As actual PROGRESSIVES know.

@skuterzysta @criticalurban @AmericanFietser It’s already started.
That’s what all these anti-car measures are about!
Each claims some other purpose—“reducing congestion”, “raising money”, “road safety”, “more housing” (without parking)—but a major motive behind each is to bully us out of owning, driving, and parking CARS.
@skuterzysta @criticalurban @AmericanFietser It’s no secret—the extremists say it in their own words.
In 2010, one saw that EVEN IN CITIES WITH ROBUST TRANSIT, most people still choose to drive.
Recommendation?
We’ll have to COERCE people out of driving, by making parking scarcer and more expensive!
la.streetsblog.org/2010/12/13/den…
@skuterzysta @criticalurban @AmericanFietser Here it is.
The anti-car activists want to “ween” [sic] us off the automobile.
But as early as 2010, they realized that EVEN in cities with “good”, robust transit systems—and high population density, their other pet goal—PEOPLE STILL DRIVE.
“Solution”?
Let’s get rid of parking!

@asymmetricinfo NO! The best gauge of learning is how well the student can APPLY what is studied—in reasoned, well written essays.
Also, some students are great at that—and will be great at their future jobs—but NOT great at memorizing and regurgitating material in closed book or timed exams. ⬇️
@asymmetricinfo Just make writing quality—aka “style”—part of the grade! (We can all spot AI-speak on sight.)
Or have students show their work/notes via multiple drafts, research outlines, check-in chats with profs, etc.
Or AT LEAST: have students do some of the work in a supervised environment—
@asymmetricinfo a learning lab/library, with loose electronic and human surveillance—then send in their tentative notes.
They wouldn’t have to do ALL—or even most—of their work in “the lab”.
But at least profs could see what students produced when demonstrably NOT copypasting, for comparison.

@tampatude @LCyrocki AND it will hamper—not help—economic development.
It reduces available parking (all of which really IS needed, at peak times). It removes parts of driving/parking lanes for “bulb outs”—to slightly shorten street crossing distance. (For pedestrians who don’t REALLY want to walk?)
@tampatude @LCyrocki Overall, schemes like these reduce access for most residents and visitors—who get around by driving our cars—and even for the non-negligible minority who get around by bus.
All to promote the cycling hobby, which is suitable or preferred transportation for only a tiny minority.
@tampatude @LCyrocki Fewer people will want to live, raise kids, work, shop, do other business—or even “dine”, more than occasionally—in places that implement these schemes, AT LEAST without heeding the input of ALL the people who use our public roadways.
It’s time to push back—and KEEP pushing back!

@girlziplocked Higher education USED TO BE more or less tuition free at state colleges, and financial aid—to attend any school—USED TO BE mostly scholarships, not loans!
So WTF HAPPENED—and WHY?
Here’s a clue:
hipcrimevocab.com/2016/10/05/why…
@girlziplocked “According to Powell, Communist firebrands were…brainwashing America’s youth to overthrow the free enterprise system….
College campuses were…an injection system for radical ideas into the body politic…and…needed to be stopped, or else the free enterprise system was doomed!”
@girlziplocked “The message was clear: education was a threat to big business. This led to the…divestment of big business from education, part of the…‘revolt’ against taxes which precipitated a dramatic shrinking of…America’s public institutions (except…security and corporate welfare)….”

@Boenau @NHTSAgov I’ve looked at “senior” apartments for a relative. And many were a half mile to mile+ from a transit stop!
Those who don’t drive but still go out—even to work—need curb to curb bus service, not a long difficult/impossible walk!
We can better address issues like this—WITHOUT
⬇️
@Boenau @NHTSAgov the draconian anti-car road sabotage schemes, and regressive “taxes” on driving and parking, that a few activists are pushing.
These measures hurt most people, who NEED to drive—working families, and some with disabilities—without even fixing the “problems” they pretend to “fix”.
@Boenau @NHTSAgov By the way, what do REAL progressives—as contrasted with fauxgressives—think of these schemes that impose extra burdens on working people and other vulnerable populations, all in the name of “saving the planet” and addressing other legitimate issues?
