Friend,
Over the weekend, we heard alarming antisemitic and racist comments
from public figures.1
As a rabbi, I know that antisemitic incidents make many Jews feel
afraid and alone. And as an activist, I know that when we fight the
instinct to isolate, we have a real opportunity to join together
across racial and religious differences to fight for safety for all of
us.
In a week like this, I am especially proud to be
leading Bend the Arc’s work organizing Jews and allies to help elect
the leaders we need in Congress — like Sen. Rev. Raphael
Warnock, Mandela Barnes, and Cheri Beasley, who have dedicated their
lives to building multiracial movements for justice. Join

Thank you for joining us in this work of building a multiracial
democracy where everyone thrives.
Onwards, Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block
