As this week comes to a close and we head into Shabbat, our country has changed. May this Shabbat provide the collective rest before all that is to come. Sending strength and support. 💙✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

We are here to listen. If you want to process this further, please reach out to Rabbi Ilana at Rabbi.Ilana@gatherdc.org or send us a DM!

The Supreme Court's decision on Roe v. Wade is an unjust and inequitable act for women, birthing people, BIPOC individuals, immigrants, non-binary, and many more. This decision also goes against Judaism teaching as it not only permits but sometimes requires abortions. We are deeply saddened and angry and hope you take the time and space to process and take care of yourself and those around you.

"The story of the Exodus and the history of American slavery offer us examples of resilience from two communities who have suffered greatly" (@rabbisandra).
