In response to Iran’s attack on Israel
Reconstructing Judaism and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association (RRA) are deeply alarmed by yesterday’s large-scale attack launched by Iran on Israel involving a barrage of hundreds of missiles and drones.
In every generation a person is required to imagine that they themselves came out from Egypt.
There is little dispute on the essential command of the Seder:
In every generation a person is required to imagine that they themselves came out from Egypt.
This is a command to imagine what it means to be descended from slaves. Recognizing the challenge of casting ourselves back 3,000 years to the mudpits of Egypt, the Rabbis have done various things to aid us in fulfilling this commandment.

Beginning our Healing Together
Rabbi Emerita Barbara Penzner led a meaningful activity on January 28 with 50 people in attendance at the temple. The event was designed to help the HBT community members express their feelings in a safe space about October 7 and what has happened since and enhance our bonds with one another. Attendees had an opportunity to talk in small groups, read poetry, light candles, and sing. Many reported that they found the opportunity to talk and listen very comforting.

Exposing antisemitism: 12+ terms and tropes added to AJC's Translate Hate glossary
Since Hamas terrorists viciously attacked Israel, we are seeing in real-time new antisemitic terms emerging and old tropes morphing, all to cast blame on the Jewish people and the Jewish state for society’s problems.
