Bella Abzug was a feminist, civil rights lawyer, and Congresswoman who helped pave the way for women in politics. A formidable leader of the women's movement, Bella Abzug fought to pass the Equal Rights Amendment and other vital legislation for the rights of women. Let’s carry her legacy forward by voting for those who continue that fight. Make Bella proud this Election Tuesday. Vote! 📷 Rep.

We're going to post a poem by a Jewish poet every day this week. This is "Snow", by Rose Auslander (1901-1988) trans. from the German by Jean Boase-Beier & Anthony Vivis

Between the attacks on the @InternetArchive and on the @britishlibrary (still recovering), and machinations in the US (and elsewhere?) against physical libraries requiring police interventions, we are worried nefarious actors have an effective pattern for reshaping our noösphere

This beautiful folio-sized machzor (prayerbook) for Sukkot according to the Provençal rite of Avignon, was written by the scribe David Tsoref in 1721. 1/
