I am a North American Jewish Leader who loves Israel and supports Palestinian sovereignty. Both can be true at the same time.

A prayer for these days.

"In a move stunning for its embrace of love, hundreds of Roman Catholic bishops and priests in Germany have set aside May 10, the day the Eastern Orthodox Church commemorates Noah, to bless the loving relationships of lesbians, gay men, and committed same-sex couples of all stripes. The date recalls how God’s covenant with Noah was sealed with a rainbow, which LGBTQ people and others receive as a sign of universal love and peace." I long for the day when the entirety of the Jewish community also celebrates the relationships us queer folk create!

"To pray you OPEN yourself . . ."

I am so grateful to be an ordained Kohenet and be invited to do fun, cool things like share gleanings for Tikkun Leil Shavuot (my favorite holiday!) for ALEPH A...lliance for Jewish Renewal with an amazing lineup of teachers. Sometimes I can't believe this is real life. Join me to celebrate and place jewels in the crown of Shekhinah!! (Thank you Kohenet: The Hebrew Priestess Institute, thank you Aleph, thank you Shekhinah!) See more
