Rabbi Gideon Estes

Thank you to my friend MK Rabbi @KarivGilad for welcoming leaders of the pluralistic movements to the Knesset today for an important hearing on how we deepen the already strong bonds between these communities and Israel. The recent Zionist Congress shows that when the Jewish world in Israel and the Diaspora comes together, there is a clear liberal and pluralistic majority. An Israel that does not embrace democratic values and pluralism not alongside but as a core part of its Jewish character will not truly be a state in line with the Zionist vision nor truly a nation-state of the Jewish people. @USCJ @RabbiAssembly @MasortiOlami @URJPresident @URJOrg @WUPJudaism

The fact that any delegate to the World Zionist Congress would participate in a protest against IDF service is a disgrace. National service is defined as a core Zionist value in the Jerusalem Platform, and as signatories on that platform, the ultra-Orthodox factions must immediately reject the planned participation of any of their delegates in tomorrow’s anti-Zionist demonstration. WZO must demand repayment from any delegate who traveled to Israel on the dime of the Zionist Movement and participates in promoting draft dodging. #Congress39

7:30 AM. Getting ready for a critical second day at #Congress39 The #MERCAZatWZC team is fighting to pass a set of resolutions that advance our vision of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state that’s a welcoming home for every Jew.

@clownworld I saw this and thought it was hilarious

@missmayim is an amazing host of #Jeopardy. I am looking forward to watching each episode.

When this player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it. This is our mood today. When one of us needs us: We stop. We huddle up. We protect each other. I love the soccer. I love women. G

Someone at @JTSVoice has a decent sense of humor.

We have forgotten to listen to one another when we disagree. @rabbicreditor #AIPAC2016 @RabbiAssembly

Really proud that AIPAC leadership denounced the Ad Hominom attack against the President last night #AIPAC2016
