Jews have kept Shabbos through 3000 years of oppression. Through the Holocaust, the inquisition, the expulsion from Arab lands. But per this email from a @BarnardCollege employee, Jews were expected to throw that all away bc of covid protocols. The most galling line: “We understand that how you have practiced religious traditions IN THE PAST…” the students on this list serve are ORTHODOX Jews who are currently practicing. Can you imagine a similar email being sent out to observant Muslims?

Thread: My grandparents came to this country fleeing persecution. They came here bc it was safe to be a Jew. Bc their children could walk on the Street with a Magen Dovid or a kipa and not fear for their lives. They moved to this country bc their own countrymen wanted them dead. I want to believe in American exceptionalism. I used to believe that this country would be the exception to the rule. That Jews would ALWAYS be welcome and safe. I’m not sure I believe that anymore.

A thread with some thoughts before Yom Kippur: I’m blessed to worship at a shul with a fantastic rabbi who always inspires. A few weeks ago, his sermon touched on the idea of Yom Kippur (and other peak moments in religion and in life) He started by telling of a parable that is recorded in jewish tradition. A Jewish man became imprisoned. His jailor told him he could choose one day a year to be free
