One year ago on a cold shabbat morning, a gunman entered Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas and took members of Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker’s small, assembled congregation at gunpoint, the start of an 11-plus hour standoff.
It’s still hard to believe that Rabbi Charlie and his congregants were taken hostage by a man who travelled from England to Texas, with a demand to speak to a prominent female…

The Presbyterian Church U.S.A. finds itself in a moral quandary, a dilemma with Israel at the heart of growing debate.
Late last month, commissioners on the PCUSA’s International Engagement Committee voted on an overture, or resolution, to label Israel as an apartheid state. The resolution also outrageously and falsely compared Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the Holocaust. The General…

I don’t need to tell you how important and pressing this work is. All of you know this from the work you do in your communities. You know when a synagogue or cemetery is desecrated.

Thank you so much for inviting me to join this commemoration today.
On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we join with communities across the world to remember the attempted annihilation of the Jewish people.

But this day is deeply personal to me.
