Though our world feels far from liberated, our people experienced liberation in some deeply meaningful ways and remembering this is an important tool for helping us move forward.
In this edition of #TorahForTheResistance, Rachie Lewis says that in this political moment, it is time for us Jews to be bold.
This piece of Purim #TorahForTheResistance is part of a series written by young rabbis, rabbinical and religious students about Jewish resistance to Trump through the lens of faith, Judaism, and spirituality.
The election of Donald Trump and the rise of the #JewishResistance movement has led to an amazing outpouring of Torah — #TorahForTheResistance.
This Tu Bishvat, we see Trump’s first weeks in office have evidenced his willingness to move forward projects that will threaten the planet.
Making instruments takes time. That means that during Egyptian captivity, before seeing the shocking slaying of the first born or the wondrous parting of the sea, during the dark hour of oppression, these women played the long game, banked on liberation, believed that it was coming, and prepared for it painstakingly. Victory does not come just through playing defense against crisis, but, even in hours much darker than ours, playing a long game to win.

In a post-truth Presidency, then we must pray for truth. Part two in a series of #TorahForTheResistance, a Jewish spiritual response to the Trump era.
