T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights
T’ruah brings the Torah’s ideals of human dignity, equality, and justice to life by empowering rabbis and cantors to be moral voices and to lead Jewish communities in advancing democracy and human rights for all people in the United States, Israel, and the occupied Palestinian territories.Cry aloud; do not be silent. Lift up your voice like a shofar.
— Isaiah 58:1

Pesach: Cleanse the Spiritual Chametz this Pesach
by Rabbi Alicia Harris |
This is the work before us this Pesach. We must abandon our worship of the false idol of correctness. We have to start with what we know. We know that all people need peace to survive. We know the liberation of Israelis is bound up with the liberation of Palestinians and vice versa. We know being traumatized is not a way to live. We also know that clinging to the crumbs of winning an argument only takes us further away from peace.
