From Torah of Awakening:
We know this dynamic – we see something we want, something we imagine will make us feel complete, but we know it's not good for us or appropriate. And yet, the feeling is so strong – it seems that fulfillment lies just ahead, in the next bite, the next achievement, the next recognition, the next experience; we are in conflict, in Mitzrayim, the narrow space of inner slavery. What is the remedy?

"An organisation in 'crisis': Jewish anti-Zionists hit back at Board of Deputies

Pro-Palestine groups contest the Board of Deputies of British Jews' statement about its protest outside the Great Israeli Real Estate Event

Anti-Zionist Jewish groups have responded to the statement issued by the Board of Deputies of British Jews condemning its protest outside a Great Israeli Real Estate Event in London on Sunday.

The demonstration was co-organised by the groups Jewish Anti-Zionist Action (JAZA), International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) and the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) to oppose the sale of land and properties, including illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, promoted at the event."

"I’ve never knocked on wood with sincerity, I don’t avoid walking beneath ladders, and my only concerns about black cats are allergy-related. And yet, there I stood, an hour from home, inspecting myself in a bathroom."

It's important to remember the purpose of Ritual in general - one, to give the community an outlet, and two, to give an individual a way to interact with complicated feelings and issues.

It's not superstition. It's a link to past generations and the overall community. None of our problems are new. So many women before us have experienced them. We do Ritual to be in solidarity with them and to include ourselves in a long line of women, and a deep community of sisters, who have walked this path.

We are not alone.

This should be fun.

"A Florida man has been indicted for allegedly plotting a mass shooting targeting #Jewish employees at a pro-#Israel #nonprofit organization, the Justice Department said.

#ForrestKendallPemberton, 27, of #Gainesville, is charged with an attempted #hatecrime, using and carrying a #firearm during a crime of violence, and possession of a short-barreled #rifle.

Federal prosecutors said that on Dec. 23, 2024, #Pemberton attempted to carry out a shooting at an office belonging to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (#AIPAC), a group that lobbies the U.S. government in support of Israel, in the South Florida city of #Plantation.

He was reportedly armed with an #AR15-style rifle equipped with a silencer. The Palm Beach Post previously reported that AIPAC was the targeted group. Court documents didn’t specify the nonprofit."

Because, deep down, #Republicans and #MAGA are #antisemites, (#SpaceLasers anyone?) except when it serves their #apocalyptic, #endtimes #Christianity. They don't hate #Israel, but you can be sure that their country clubs have very few #Jewish members if any.
