My name is Jackie Goldman (they/them), I live in Wampanoag, Nahaganset and Pokanoket land (Providence, Rhode Island). Since October 7th, 2023, I have struggled with what to do about my grief as it relates to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the escalation of violence in the West Bank.
Since leaving my synagogue on October 10th, I have been finding an organizing and religious home with Jewish Voice for Peace. One of my many on-going efforts has been to lead a weekly grief space for those who are mourning all of those killed by the "Israeli" military.
As I have been writing these teachings/sermons/groundings each week, I have also decided that I want to share them for two reasons. 1) To provide some community and comfort for other Jews and allies who feel isolated and 2) To make it irrefutably clear that there are religious, anti-Zionist Jews. These teachings will be free, if you feel like donating money somewhere, give it to an organization working in Palestine, like Anera, PCRF, or the Community Peacemaker Team in Hebron.
Money raised as of 3/26/2024: $6.00
