Rabbi Monique Mayer

Looking up at the stars we behold the beauty of the universe. Rabbi Monique Mayer's Thought for the Week begins about 1 hr 22 minutes into Behnaz's programme on BBC Radio Wales: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… @LiberalJudaism @bwpjc

@jasonllevin Absolutely.

Do You Approve of President Biden’s Decision to Pardon Thousands of Veterans Convicted for Gay Sex under Military Law?

@ElieNYC Out of the mouths of babes. 🩷

My kid just said: “It’s sad to watch a pack of lies beat a good person just because the good person can’t speak.” I literally just gave him a hug and said that “debates don’t matter.”

@ThatEricAlper Your post brought a big smile to my face. No, you're not the only one!

I can't be the only one who, when my dog is curled up beside me, try to explain to them the reason I'm getting up and that I'll be right back and not to move?

Listen to my weekend word on BBC Radio Wales: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… (about 10 min before end). As always, thanks to Ollie, Catrin, Ross (and Wynn) @BBCRadioWales for the warm welcome. Feeling the love!

@KensingtonRoyal Sending prayers of strength and healing.

A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

Happy International Women’s Day🎗️

If we don't stand for ALL women - we stand for NONE #International_Womens_Day

Thanks to Ollie, Cat, and Matthew for welcoming me for Weekend Word. Keep tending your spiritual garden! @BBCRadioWales

Armenia: Help save Salman Mukaev! He escaped Chechnya after torture under the suspicion of "being gay." Now facing extradition to Russia, a potential death sentence. #SaveSalman #LGBT+ Sign the petition to grant him asylum and protect his life: a.allout.org/s/WgVZR/

A moving poem from @brian_bilston. Read it down. Then read it up. Expand your circle of empathy…

Thanks to @behnazakhgar for the warm welcome on your show today (and finally in person). Also thanks to Nia, Dominic, Maria, Luke, and the rest of the @BBCRadioWales crew. Have a great week and remember to look up. @LiberalJudaism @bwpjc

@geoffballinger @Catrinheleddx @BBCRadioWales Apologies!

@RabbiMonique @Catrinheleddx @BBCRadioWales Thanks for the mention but suspect you have the wrong Geoff Ballinger 😉

Thanks to @Catrinheleddx , Owain Clarke, @geoffballinger, Matt, and the @BBCRadioWales crew for the warm *croeso* this morning. Save the whales, save the humans!

It’s important to have religious leadership that is about bringing us together…am loving being part of something that’s all about how we can bring out the best in each other @rabbijoshlevy @ReformMovement @LiberalJudaism

Progressive Judaism's rabbis and leaders were among 200 people gathered in Parliament Square last weekend, attending a protest against the Israeli Government’s judicial overhaul. Read why we were demonstrating here: liberaljudaism.org/2023/08/progre… @defendisraeluk | #ChooseDemocracy

Today in #WWII History: 80 Years Ago—1 Jun 1943: (2/3)...Those killed include actor Leslie Howard (Gone With the Wind, pic below) and Wilfrid Israel, a German Jewish businessman who played a significant role rescuing Jews from the continent... #TDIH #OTD sarahsundin.com/today-in-world…

🧵Banning mifepristone, the most common drug used for abortions & miscarriages, impedes our religious freedom to follow our tradition, which prioritizes the life & well-being of a pregnant person. Encoding specific narrow religious views into law infringes on our rights as Jews.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.
