A call to action
We were made for this. The Jewish people and Jewish tradition itself were designed for survival. We were designed for social transformation. Now, with Donald Trump threatening the norms and institutions of our democratic society, we must come together to resist and respond to any attempt to set us back.
We all hope that our worst fears will not be realized, but we don’t know what will happen or what kind of action will be needed. What we do know is we must stand in solidarity with all people who may be threatened by the government’s wrongful attempts to abridge the safety, liberty, or dignity of our neighbors and one another, by using all the spiritual, political and intellectual resources we possess.
Civil Rights leader Rabbi Joachim Prinz reminds us: “Bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problem. The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.” We shall be heard.
