Mentors. Role Models. Following. Being Followed.
What does it mean to guide others on their life journey? What do we look for what we seek guidance for ourselves?
We’ve been reflecting lately on how often we find ourselves saying, “This is a moment in history like never before.”
It is unnerving to be navigating such uncharted territory. And we often find ourselves wishing we had someone to show us the way. A thoughtful guide to help us find clarity and our own voice in the middle of so much noise.
And how do we guide people in colleges or public high schools? How can we guide them well when we’re not experiencing what they are; we’re not there with them on the ground? What is our role? How are we supposed to show up?
Claudia Sheinbaum elected president of Mexico, breaking barriers as woman and Jew, By Philissa Cramer June 3, 2024
"Claudia Sheinbaum swept to victory in Mexico’s presidential election Sunday, giving the country of more than 120 million a woman leader and a Jewish leader for the first time.
Sheinbaum’s election makes Mexico by far the biggest country to have a Jewish head of state. Only Israel (9.5 million) and Ukraine (38 million) currently have Jewish leaders..."
Shalom, I'm Feedback! I'm a #Jewish musician, photographer, and techie currently working in cybersecurity. Like a lot of online Jews, I've been feeling a much stronger pull towards Jewish community spaces in the wake of current events, and was extremely excited to learn about the existence of #mazeldon ! Looking forward to getting to know people here! #introduction
@shekinahcancook I am! One of my two EPs is on there, the other was made as part of a community project that I've been meaning to upload, but right now is just on soundcloud.
"Whether you’re an experienced #cook looking for new ideas, or just starting out making #Shabbat and #holiday#meals for your family, there’s still something for you in Braids. You can find something to serve at your next Sunday morning brunch, Shabbat dinner with the family, #Shavuot festivities, or even just on a regular weeknight at home. Sanford offers her readers a look inside what it means to be a #Jewish cook in the #PacificNorthwest, while ensuring that her #recipes can translate to wherever it is you may live."
Join Rabbi Julie Hilton Danan to connect to your soul by connecting to the beauty of the natural world & Jewish wisdom about nature. Just as the earth has her seas, gardens, rivers, and mountains, inside each of us is our sea of the unconscious, our garden of toil and pleasure, our streams of flow, and our peak experiences. Our inner world is a reflection of the planet & of ancient teachings left for us by our ancestors.
[This class] will explore “the shore” in nature, Jewish wisdom, and your own life; from sea caves to sand, seashells, and life on the edge of mystery. We will experience media including stunning original nature photography, text discussion, ritual, guided meditation and mitzvah ideas. The practices we will learn may lead not only to a richer inner life and a heightened sense of awe, but to a deepened commitment to stewardship of the Earth & its inhabitants as the dwelling place of Shechinah.

"This week #Jewish American Heritage Month comes to a close. To mark the occasion, chef Michael Solomonov is joining the TODAY #Food team to prepare two of his favorite seasonal #recipes that highlight Jewish ingredients and #cooking techniques. He shows us how to make pomegranate-glazed salmon with spring veggies and crispy zucchini schnitzel."
"We’ve started a tracker to keep tabs on the #Kosher, #Jewish, and #Israeli-owned r#estaurants (kosher and not kosher) that have been attacked or vandalized since October 7th, 2023.
Surely, #antisemitism existed before the #Hamas attacks, and many of these types of businesses have been attacked prior, but we’ve seen a ramping up of these targeted attacks since October."
There is still time to register to join Sheryl Sandberg and National Council of Jewish Women CEO Sheila Katz on Tuesday, May 28th, at 8:15pm ET, for a Jewish Community Conversation about the importance of bearing witness, lifting up the silenced voices of the October 7th attack, and demanding justice.
Screams Before Silence, led by Sheryl Sandberg, is a powerful documentary that captures first-person testimony from survivors, first responders, forensic experts, eyewitnesses, and released hostages from the attack by Hamas in Israel on October 7th. Their harrowing accounts reveal the uncompromising truth: Hamas used sexual assault as a weapon of war.
Edit: Since this article the staff have walked out in protest of the Jewish portion of the exhibit and the Wing Luke Museum remains closed while the parties meet and discuss the situation.
"A new exhibit opening May 22 at the #WingLukeMuseum of the Asian Pacific American Experience explores how three Seattle communities – Black, Asian-American, and Jewish – have faced prejudice, both in the past and in the face of rising hate crimes today.
Called “Confronting Hate Together,” the exhibit was created as a partnership between the museum, the Washington State #Jewish Historical Society, and the Black Heritage Society of Washington State."
We had one big vandalism of a shul, we had the mysterious powders mailed to 6 shuls and 1 Rabbi's home (smacks of crazy or rightwing), but most everything else has been within the bounds of reasonable protest really.
Learn why this concerning trend isn’t just a matter of concern to the Jewish community, but a direct threat to democracy and national security. Gain insights into how the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. government in general, are addressing Jew-hatred around the world and why a comprehensive, whole-of-society approach is more critical now than ever before.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be informed, engaged, and empowered to counter antisemitism.
@shekinahcancook Thanks for sharing this. I find it odd that a briefing about how antisemitism is bad for everybody, not just Jews, specifically targets Jews as its audience. I can think of a lot of non-Jews who need this more.

Stereotypes about Jewish physical weakness have meant that the crucial role Jews played in creating American fitness culture has often been overlooked — despite the 19th century tradition of muscular Judaism established precisely to challenge these assumptions. Join New Lehrhaus in hosting historian and Reboot Network member Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, author of Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, for an exciting talk and conversation about how and why Jews were so influential — but understudied — in shaping American fitness. Presented in partnership with Reboot.
Underscoring that there is no singular way to "look Jewish" or “be Jewish,” Reboot Studios collaborated with Paramount Global on This is What Jewish Looks Like, a new video short that celebrates the rich tapestry of Jewish identity in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month. The visual techniques in the piece challenge stereotypes and preconceived notions of identity, especially important at a time when tensions are high among American Jews.
Photographer Brian Molyneaux captured portraits of individuals who identify as Jewish, highlighting the rich diversity within the Jewish community across various dimensions such as age, gender and race. See the short video here. It is appearing across Paramount’s portfolio of channels, including MTV, Comedy Central, CMT, Pop, TV Land, Paramount Network, Smithsonian Channel and BET throughout May as part of Jewish American Heritage Month.
