Jewish Currents just covered our synagogue organizing strategy for our new campaign! We’re proud to be doing the challenging, transformative work of organizing our U.S. Jewish communities toward a new vision for safety and demanding an end to the violent status quo of U.S. military support for Israel.

Our movement’s organizing over the last decade has contributed to massive shifts among U.S. Jews and political leaders. But the fight to translate those shifts into real, lasting policy change requires organizing thousands more people in our community.

Join our call “Seeding the Jewish Future” on June 10 to learn all about our strategy and theory of change. We are building a movement for our future — in our synagogues, in the streets, and in the halls of power.

On Shavuot we celebrate the gift of Torah, which forbids murder, commands us to love the stranger, and implores us to pursue justice. This year, we watch in horror as the Israeli government uses U.S.-provided weapons to carry out genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid in the name of Jewish safety.

More and more, our beloved U.S. Jewish communities are rejecting the false promise of safety through militarism. As a multiracial movement of U.S. Jews, we know that the only true safety is shared safety. A thriving future requires safety, equality, and freedom for all: Palestinians and Lebanese people, Iranians and Israelis, our neighbors and ourselves.

May Shavuot 5786 fill us all with the spirit of Torah and strengthen our courage, love, and integrity as we rise to our proudest traditions and highest prophetic aspirations. Together, we say loudly and clearly: Not another bomb.

Tomorrow, we will co-host a 24 hour Shavuot Teach-in with Rabbis for Ceasefire, the American Council for Judaism, and over 30 partner organizations under the theme “From the US to Palestine: Solidarity is Holy.”

Shavuot celebrates the revelation of Torah on Mount Sinai, and it is tradition to study all night long to use learning as a tool for repairing a broken world.

The 24 hour teach-in will offer workshops on wide ranging topics from protective presence work, wealth redistribution, prison abolition, arms embargo, and so much more. Join for one session or stay for the whole 24 hours.

We are horrified to learn of the deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We mourn those murdered and send our love to their families. May their memories be for a blessing.

As a multiracial movement of U.S. Jews, we stand in solidarity with Muslim communities against surging Islamophobic hate, racism, gun violence, scapegoating, white Christian nationalism, and fascist attacks on immigrant communities. A better world is possible. We won’t stop fighting for a thriving future where all people are safe and free.

U.S. weapons have enabled Israel’s oppression of Palestinians for decades. For just as long, establishment politicians and Jewish institutions have claimed that bombs, walls, and repression will keep our people safe.

But we know how disastrous this strategy is. The Israeli military has devastated Gaza, massacring at least 72,000 Palestinians in the past three years. West Bank settler violence is surging, Trump and Netanyahu launched brutal wars in Iran and Lebanon, and our Jewish communities aren’t any safer.

A new communal conversation is long overdue.

As Jews who want safety, justice, and equality for all, we know that there’s another way. Together, we must move beyond the violent status quo and envision a different future. That means grappling with the billions of dollars in weapons that the U.S. sends to Israel each year.

TOMORROW, May 19th, Join IfNotNow’s Executive Director Morriah Kaplan, along with Nadav David, Community Safety Campaign Organizer, Kohenet Shoshana A Brown, Black Jewish Liberation Collective Co-founder, Daniel Biss, Democratic nominee for Illinois’s 9th Congressional District, and Indivisible’s Executive Director, Leah Greenberg, for a rigorous discussion on blocking U.S. weapons to Israel and building a thriving future for all.
