We Will Not Be Silent: Voices of the #JewishResistance

"Thousands of years ago, the Hebrew people were brutally enslaved in Egypt. The story of their redemption from bondage has planted in our collective American consciousness the deepest human truth: that though we suffer, the trajectory of history moves from slavery to freedom, darkness to light, narrowness to expansiveness. Like Egypt, our country dwells today in narrow straits. But we are not powerless. We are armed us a blueprint for spiritual resistance: the marriage of radical empathy and moral action. Sometimes-maybe once in a generation-a spirit of resistance is awakened at the intersection of love, faith and holy outrage. In those moments, we are reminded what we're fighting for, what our armed forces are willing to die for, what this country was built for and what our flag flies for: liberty and justice, for all. This is one of those sacred moments." - Rabbi Sharon Brous
