Rabbi Kleinbaum on what it means to be a victim and a perpetrator, and on the political strife in Israel.
"There is only a shared future of Israelis and Palestinians. There is no future that is not completely shared by these two peoples. Now might be the moment where the impossible becomes possible. We must do everything we can to support those who are resisting this fascist government [in Israel].
"Just as I refuse to give up on America, I refuse to give up on Israel and Palestine, and I stand with those who resist fascism."
Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum delivered this drashah at Kabbalat Shabbat services on Friday, March 10, 2023 / 18 Adar 5783.
