I don’t worry about antisemitism from white nationalists, skinheads, or neo-Nazis. I can identify that form of antisemitism a mile away. Those kinds of people who hate Jews aren’t shy to admit their beliefs. What worries me, what keeps me up at night, are the folks who cloak their antisemitism under the garb of social justice. For my entire life, social justice was on the banner of my Jewish identity. I grew up on a steady diet of helping the hungry, the poor, and the orphans, all as a manifestation of my Jewish identity. I marched for reproductive rights, for LGBTQ causes, and against racism—and I will continue to do so. What’s changed is that many of the same folks who marched alongside me now see my Zionist beliefs as the problem.

Did you know that for several years Temple Emanu-El has had a small, but very active Green Team working to limit Temple Emanu-El’s climate impact and to provide environmental education and inspiration to our community? We are charter members of Adamah, the largest Jewish environmental organization in North America. Adamah’s mission is to cultivate vibrant Jewish life in deep connection with the earth.
We are looking for new members to help us achieve our goals for this year and beyond. If you are interested in joining us, please send an email to Robert Wittenstein to receive an invite to our next Zoom meeting on May 14th at 3:30pm.
Help us move Temple Emanu-El forward in our efforts to create culture change and climate action.
