💔❤️My prayer is for peace. May it come and come soon. In the meantime I ask that we all do our part in paving the way in ourselves, our homes and on our shores. Thank you @newsnationnow for having me today. Shabbat Shalom. ❤️💔 . . . #antisemitism #jewishandproud
🚩🚩”Living Jewishly is an Act of Resistance,” is credited to @ariel.loves. I am calling on @columbia University and other colleges around the country that are allowing Pro Hamas protests to take place on their campuses. They are failing all of our children. Universities are supposed to be safe havens for our kids to learn how to be productive human beings in our society. Would @columbia allow a pro KKK demonstration? Violence against Jewish students, intimidation and bullying must stop. Administrators and educators please intervene and teach your students about non violent communication and bridge building. 🚩 🚩 . . . #propeace #collegelife #jewishandproud
🔺🔻Iran backed terrorists are brutally murdering Israelis in their homes right now. We cannot stay quiet about this. Please use your voice.🔻🔺 . . . #israelunderattack #israelunderfire #hamasterrorists #jewishandproud
☮️✡️When you see the word resistance come up in regards to the conflict, think on this scene. A clandestine Shabbat dinner in New York City 2023. Security just in case the threats were legit. Jewish resistance is about gathering ourselves in our selves, in our homes and in community. Jewish resistance is soft and sweet: a place to weep and eat. It is strong and steadfast too. Jewish resistance is spiritual resistance. It is the cornerstone of who we are: a small people made mighty by the greatest force of all- love. Love for each other, the gift of life and the divine. Love that has carried us through for 3,000 years despite it all. ✡️☮️ . . . #jewishandproud #shabbatshalom #shabbat #shabbatdinner #shalomsalaampeace #shalom #mourning #unity
🫂🫂I woke up to a text from Layla Alshekh, the bereaved Palestinian mother I met through @telavivinstitute this April. First, I was relieved to know she is alive. (I share about her and @theparentscircle on Mom Curious and will link in stories today). She is asking to spread the word about a vigil that bereaved Palestinian and Israel families are holding Sunday, October 15th at 11:00 AM EDT (4:00 PM in London; 6:00 PM in Jerusalem). It is important to grieve and process this collective trauma together. All. I hope to see you there. Swipe to see Layla and her Israeli counterpart @theparentscircle. We are sisters. 🫂🫂 . https://parentscirclefriends.org/vigil/ . #grievingmother #grief #vigil #grieving #israel #israelpalestine #palestine #hamas #peace

🧿🪬To Jewish parents and our allies: I strongly encourage you to join the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committees at your kids’ local public school. I just joined and have already had eye and heart opening conversations with people who just genuinely don’t know what Jewish culture and history is about. And guess what? I get to support other communities this way too. Win win. Let us all be activists in our own ways. This is one. Big love to you! XO, daniella🪬🧿 . . . #jewishandproud #jewishmom #activism #DEI #diversityequitandinclusion #jewishrepresentation #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewisheducation #holocausteducation
Among the many messages I’ve received today. While mothers have heeded warnings not to send their children to school, this. Many allies reaching out. Offering a safe space both emotionally and physically. Take heart. We’re not alone. Even when the voices of terror are loud, there is goodness in the world. #terror #jewishandproud #allyship
🧿🪬Thank you @telavivinstitute for this sweeeeeeet honor. I love being Jewish! I love sharing my culture with the world! What a way to start the new year alongside my heroes and friends especially @henmazzig who has taught me so much about living a life of pride and purpose. Shana tova u’mituka. 🪬🧿 . . . #shanatova #jewishandproud

🪽🫧I’m not a very religious person. I know! I know! Im the most Jewish person you know. And yes. I’ve been observant even modern orthodox for decades before. But my deep and meaningful connection to Judaism is rooted in ancestry and history. Legacy, language and culture. In a feeling of being a citizen of the world, sometimes on the inside and often on the outside. It’s a connection to the land of Israel and the Jewish people. To the other. My strong pull to leave the world a better place than how I found it. But religious… not me. Spiritual oh my! Into it. So when Yom Kippur rolls around I’m torn. It is a gorgeous tradition- a pattern interrupt that asks us to divorce ourselves from the mundane, the material- even food and water- for 25 hours. A reset. And we’ve done it TOGETHER even scattered across the globe for thousands of years. Praying with identical texts, atoning, crying and meditating on what we want for ourselves our loved ones and the world in the coming year. Magnificent. Transcendent. Godly, really. I haven’t fasted in a long time. First it was recovery from chronic dieting and those dumb juice cleanses. Then it was pregnancy and breastfeeding. After that: I just haven’t wanted to. But there’s one thing that I’d love to pause on- to meditate on how I’d like to engage with- and it’s this device that I’m typing on now. It is so powerful and has afforded me many beautiful words and even new friendships. Work opportunities. But when I left it in an Uber the other day- I can’t even begin to tell you the peace I felt. Hours without a screen. Just me, my children, my husband. Just some books I’ve been meaning to finish and housework that finally felt doable. So I’ll fast this. Abstain from click click clicking away in the hopes of filling myself with connection or productivity or fun. Empty calories as they say. Let’s see where it takes me. And in the meantime if you celebrate and are fasting this Yom Kippur- may I wish you a most meaningful fast. Sending you all a big hug from my ever evolving heart. 📸 : @nadialeonphotography 🫧🪽 . . . #yomkippur #jewishlife #jewishandproud
A moment of song, reflection and prayer for our brothers and sisters in Israel with my dearest @daniellarabbani – her captivating voice pierces right to your soul. A healing balm in this moment of deep mourning.

🫂🎟️I’m in a four week run of the most important show I’ve ever been a part of. It is timely, sadly, and much needed. Please come experience the beauty and soul of the Jewish people through music written and performed in the Holocaust. If you’re able to make it to previews today or Sunday I’m more than happy to coordinate tickets. It’s important you come see this. I promise. AMID FALLING WALLS @folksbiene. 🎟️ 🫂 . . . #jewishandproud #yiddish #yiddishtheater #amyisraelchai thank you for this Sara ❤️
