@velveteenrabbi Sending love and healing. So sorry to hear this.

This is not how I planned to spend Shabbat & Shavuot! Then again, I hadn't planned to follow in my father's footsteps and have a heart attack, either. Grateful for this morning's ER docs and nurses, for the EMT and ambulance driver, and for everyone I've met so far at Baystate.

@rabbisandra Sending love to you. This is hateful and awful.

Before I block this person I want you all to see some of the most ridiculous and vile things I see from those claiming to be members of the tribe. Maybe some of you from Twitter can help this person understand why they have broken halacha, and why this tweet is shameful.

@rabbisandra Are you ever occupied by anything not blacky-racy-gendery-transy? As a convert to Judaism, you've sure become the full caricature in no time!

Apparently, @WomansDay just named a rabbi-in-residence. Cool. They named a MALE rabbi in residence. Because there are apparently no women for… @WomansDay? @TheRaDR @velveteenrabbi @womenrabbis @rabbikrp

@rabbisandra was the first rabbi partnered with a non-Jew to graduate under the new policy. She believed that there were unmistakable racial connotations to the notion of an institution policing who its students can and cannot marry.

HOLY WOW this is amazing. sefaria.org/The_Five_Books… I always tell my students that JPS is a good solid translation but I want them to read Everett Fox too b/c he captures the allusive / alliterative wordplay. And now his translation is on @sefariaproject.

Um, Everrett Fox just dropped on @SefariaProject + an updated gender sensitive JPS. This is huge.

Unfortunately, given the hostage incident over the weekend at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, our conversation tomorrow evening (Tuesday, Jan. 18 at 7 p.m.) with Zeke Cohen is more timely and relevant than ever. Register for Zoom link: icjs.org/events/confron…

This is a disgrace. Let me be clear: I am a Zionist. @ReformJudaism is a Zionist Movement of congregations. Our Zionism calls us to fight for the rights & dignity of Palestinians, for the 2-state solution, and to combat Islamophobia. @ZahraBilloo has done profound harm.
Jonathan Greenblatt@JGreenblattADL
@CAIRNational must condemn their staffer @ZahraBilloo for this awful, unapologetic bigotry. And any org that claims to fight for social justice should cut ties with anyone who spouts such hate.
