But we cannot rest. Tonight’s vote shows that your voice matters, and it is still needed. H.R. 9495, “the non profit killer” bill, is being reconsidered this week. Please call your reps and tell them to vote NO on giving Trump the dictatorial power to take out non profits at will.

We thank our Senators Markey and Warren for heeding the calls of their constituents and voting to block arms sales to Israel. Tonight’s 18 votes for the JRD, in defiance of AIPAC and President Biden’s personal lobbying efforts, show that the tide is turning.

On October 7, 2024, over 500 Jews and allies gathered in Boston to mourn and bear witness to the slaughter of the past year.
It didn’t have to be this way. It still doesn’t.
There is a world where we don’t have to watch the news in a state of panic. Where children in Israel, Palestine, and Lebanon can grow up with their families in peace and safety.
Where our governments don’t slaughter innocents. Where our politicians can no longer ignore our cries.

After the shofar blasts in the Rosh Hashanah liturgy we say “Hayom Harat Olam”: today is the birthday of the world. In concluding tonight, we too are called by the shofar blast to look toward the future, toward harat olam, and remind ourselves in no uncertain terms that another world is possible.

One year.
One year since the Hamas-led attack in which over 1,100 Israelis were killed, and hundreds more taken hostage.
One year of the Israeli government’s massacres and starvation, which have killed over 42,000 Palestinians, and likely tens of thousands more.
