Sharing this prayer this morning: A Post-Election Prayer By Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch, CEO, Women of Reform Judaism Nachamu, Nachamu ami As Isaiah called out to God, Today, I do, too Nachamu, Nachamu Ami Comfort us, comfort our people. You don’t speak directly to us Like you once did your prophets And still We tried, so hard, to follow in their footsteps To be prophetic pursuers of justice To hold our kings and rulers to account. To declare that pikuach nefesh is paramount To protect the lives and bodies of women, of all people who can become pregnant. To safeguard trans individuals To stem the rampant destruction of our earth To defend our very democracy. To heal the fractures of our divided land. Why, God? Al tasteir paneha Don’t hide your face from us Answer us. Sh’ma koleinu For those crying out, angry, afraid Answer us Hear our voices. What is our mission now? What lies on the road ahead? We look to the prophet Mikah. Your prophets can still be our guide We have been told before, and we know what we must do Only this: Do justice Love mercy Walk humbly with your God We walk humbly into a new reality A time of disappointment and fear A time not to forget what we can and must do. Like Queen Esther, We rise to the challenge of our new era. For who knows? Maybe it is just for this moment that we find ourselves in a position to exercise leadership. Be strong and resolute Find comfort in each other. Together, We will pursue justice and mercy, and walk humbly onward. https://lnkd.in/eRBxiEKF

As we approach the Jewish new year of 5785, we are reminded about the possibilities it brings. Every new year is filled with hope — and we approach the coming year with a belief in what we can accomplish as a WRJ community, coming together to create change through collective action.

We are so excited to follow Rachel in all the amazing work that we know she will accomplish!
I recently finished up an incredible year in Washington D.C. where I was lucky enough to work as a Legislative Assistant for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and Women of Reform Judaism. My portfolio included issues I am incredibly passionate about such as reproductive rights and gender equality. I had the opportunity to work in coalitions with amazing partner organizations, such as Planned Parenthood Federation of America, National Council of Jewish Women, INC, National Women's Law Center, and more. I am so proud of the work we accomplished, including bringing over 50 members of the Jewish community to rally outside the Supreme Court for reproductive rights, drafting press releases on important SCOTUS cases like FDA v Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine or Idaho v. US, and working with an amazing team to write and pass new WRJ resolutions on reproductive rights and gun violence along with accompanying resources. I want to first thank the rest of my amazing cohort. Samantha Angelina, Noe Granados, Ellen Garfinkle, CJ Sánchez (FKA Wechsler) it was such a privilege to work with and learn from all of you. I also have thank my amazing managers Jacob Greenblatt and Rena Lubin, without whom this all would have been impossible. Thank you so much to everyone else who has been a part of this amazing journey, and I’m so excited for what comes next!

"What if, in this moment of fracture and antisemitism and pain – what if we said YES to everyone who wants to be a part of Jewish life?" I shared these words during my d'var torah Friday evening of the Women of Reform Judaism Fried Women's Conference. What if we all said yes to inclusion? View an excerpt of my sermon here: https://lnkd.in/eHW_6qYW Shabbat Shalom!
What If We Said Yes?
