Message from Rabbi Andrea
|
|
|
 It's been three months since I've updated this column. The topic that kept coming to mind is difficult and important to speak of. Without repeating the tropes and memes of anti-Semitism, we do see it. We see thoughts, rhetoric and actions deeply rooted in it.
This is inevitably alarming to Jews even as we see and know that other targeted groups are similarly threatened by white nationalism. Part of the anti-Semitic trope out there, posits that Jews are a privileged group of "elites," controling undue power. All the more is our need to keep our eye on the ball of scapegoating and race baiting. All the more is our need for allies. Please listen to this podcast for an illuminating conversation on this topic between and civil rights activist Eric Ward and Rabbi Sharon Brous.
