Unbelievably important! Critical to any hopeful future. R. Sharon you are doing an amazing job each week speaking for the highest and wisest of our tradition. Thank you!

[@avelinomike]

Amazing. Thank you so much, for speaking truth. I am humbled. I am so grateful, for your courage.

Way to weave these cogent strands together! Powerful. I am fortunate enough to have worked with Vivian on Peace and Women’s Empowerment issues in the 80’s. I am so, so sad, it can be hard to keep up the struggle. Discouragement sets in as things seem to get worse. Praying and working for a better future for all. Thank you for your insights.

Amen!!!!!

[@sparklelove6366]

Thank You. Since day 1 I’ve been wondering how the spotters didn’t see this and what happened. So many important points in this sermon.

[@SusanSchenker]

Keep it up!

Your teaching made me think of the guy who answered his wife am I not better to you than 10 sons, and David how he fasted for 3 days but afterwards carried on. Although perhaps insensitive it was true that Jacob was not in the place of God. I also think of that film Harriet and how Harriet tubman was 1st to lead an armed revolt. I remember Deborah and barak someone said a while ago sisera was like censorship which wanted to shut people's mouths. Anyway his daughter has been conditioned not to speak and only speaks in whispers I am praying u will somehow get that song to her.

This is so important, and it is harrowing. The way we invisibilize women is not limited to the middle east, either. Does anyone recognize that we have, currently, a Jewish woman running for the office of the President of the United States on the Democratic ticket? Whether she is your candidate or not, whatever you may believe about her chances, everyone should want her voice to be heard. Instead she is mocked, or just completely ignored as though she does not even exist. Sadly too familiar.

[@madelinetaylor228]

Hi Janine, what woman, Jewish or otherwise, is running for President? As far as I know, and not that it matters, but Nikki Haley is of Indian descent.

[@janinem5196]

@madelinetaylor228 It's sad but unsurprising that so many are still unaware of her candidacy. Marianne Williamson has been ignored by the MSM but is rising in the polls despite the blackout. (Current figures have her at 12% and 15%, even higher among younger voters.) She is Jewish and was the only candidate in 2020 to support Sanders over Biden when she suspended her own campaign.

Look what they did to Jill Stein.

This was not a result of chauvinism. I can appreciate how the women in the IDF suffer from that. However, Natanyahu wanted Hamas to attack. it is becoming clear that Natanyahu and his cronies immediately started bombing Gaza to ethnically cleanse. The IDF didn't come to help for hours, and when they did come, they slaughtered innocent Israelis. This is all being reported now from the Israel hostages themselves and truly independent journalists. The IDF has killed more than 50 journalists and at least 60 of Israelis hostages.

[@ddddddddd98]

what do you mean the IDF killed Israelis?

[@johnd.2778]

@@ddddddddd98 they follow an Israeli military code called the "Hannibal Directive' whereby they are to shoot civilians, hostages, even IDF military along with enemy combatants. Google "Israel Hannibal directive"
