Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (theradr@mstdn.social)'s status on Thursday, 10-Aug-2023 23:01:04 JST Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg

I have such issues with Christians who call other Christians "not real Christians" b/c they're harmful--it's gaslighting to the victims of Christianity's brutal history.
Here's what engaging w/harmful branches of a tradition can look like, from Rabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David. 1/x

1. Dear Friends and Colleagues, I am deeply concerned about Israel's newly elected government -- the most religiously and politically right wing government in this country since the State's establishment -- and the effects it will have on both those living within the green line and those living in the Occupied Territories. This is why it is so important, especially now, to support organizations and grassroots movements working to secure progressive values and protect human rights on this land. As a rabbi, I find it especially upsetting that some of the scariest voices in this new government claim to speak in the name of Jewish values. It is true there are verses in the Torah and teachings in the Talmud that promote separation and violence, but there are just as many if not more that promote unity and peace. It is up to us to choose the Judaism we want to manifest in the world.
