I loathe the state of my country’s federal government. I loathe the state of many of my country’s states’ governments. This is why I am working as hard as I can to fix what I can and protect what is worth protecting. Fighting fascism in one’s own land is demanding, not least because of having to work while deeply disgusted. But the fight is practically and ethically imperative.

One of the few things I remember from my youth in Hebrew School is #TikkunOlam. I have tried, in my small way, to adhere to this. Let's make the world a better place!

What Is Tikkun Olam?

Tikkun Olam: In Jewish teachings, any activity that improves the world, bringing it closer to the harmonious state for which it was created.

⚡️ The Hardest Act of Kindness: Boundaries.

It’s easy to think Kindness means keeping the door open, even when we’re hurting. But true peace requires Integrity—and sometimes, integrity means closing the door forever.

I’ve been reflecting on how past pain can try to pull us back into old cycles.

I realized that my desire for harmony (my version of Tikkun Olam, or "repairing the world") doesn't depend on the other person finally being "good."

It depends on me choosing my own worth. My final peace came when I was able to wish someone well (that's Kindness) AND protect the boundary that keeps me safe (that's Integrity).

The block wasn't punishment; it was my final act of self-love. It is the moment we realize: 1 (Kindness/Wish Them Well) + 1 (Integrity/Boundary) = 11 (Peace).

That peace is real, powerful, and it’s non-negotiable. If you need a boundary to be whole, that is your work. That is your worth.

If you want to help with hunger but don't want to support any local christian organizations who are also likely working toward stripping you of your rights to religious freedom, there are alternatives.

You can give to your local Federation, which usually has a fund to help with food and emergencies.
Find your nearest Federation Office: https://www.jewishfederations.org/federation-finder

Or you can give to Mazon.
