The Jewish community is being offered a false choice between countering antisemitism and protecting democracy and civil rights. But there is no inclusive democracy without Jewish safety -- and no Jewish safety without inclusive democracy. Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) and a
nationally recognized leader on countering antisemitism and extremism
and protecting democracy -- who previously led the successful lawsuit
against the Charlottesville neo-Nazis -- will join Rabbi Sharon Brous
for a conversation on how we can reject the false binaries of this
moment and advance a more just and inclusive world for Jews and all
communities

A Tale of Two Torahs - Rabbi Hannah Jensen
In this week's parsha we learn that the king had to write a Torah for himself. Or was it two - a Torah that accompanies him throughout his life and one that remains in a treasury locked away? From this we can learn a lot about our public and private selves and about the difference between the actual and the ideal. What lessons might accompany us as we enter this holiday season and throughout our lives?
