Hochzeit - Stone Fox Bride

Stone Fox Bride

This photo was taken at my Bat Mitzvah. My synagogue: KAM Isaiah Israel, Chicago. Rabbi Wolf has his arm around me. It was a proud day. I sang my haftarah portion, wore pink heels, then danced to Billy Joel "We Didn't Start The Fire". Rabbi Wolf Bar Mitzvah'd my father, and married my parents. He marched in Selma for civil rights. He protested the Vietnam War. He believed that "the core teaching of Torah had to do with justice." After his death, Obama said: "Rabbi Wolf’s name is synonymous with service, social action, and the possibility of change". He taught my Sunday School course in civic engagement, and I told him that once on my school bus Brian and Mason said, "Fuck You you dumb Jew" and then we talked about Tikkun Olam. Years later, I sat by my father's side at KAM during Rabbi Wolf's funeral. Last winter I sang Kaddish over my father's coffin at KAM. My synagogue now is Lab Schul led by @amichailaulavie. Last month during services I looked around and realized how vulnerable we were. All of us, praying together, doors open, any anti-semitic lunatic with a semi-automatic rifle could burst in. Then I thought, you're so dark, shut it down. And when I drop my kids off at school, I think: today's the day. Sandy Hook, part 2 and what are you going to do? And I go to work and get on with my day. But there is something I can do. I can follow Rabbi Wolf's lead. During a time when Jews were more visibly struggling for their own survival, he actively supported "others" in their struggle for the same equality our families were able to achieve in America by virtue of our white skin. I can go to the polls next Tuesday and vote. I can do my part to move the needle to disempower our President and his cronies so they can no longer promote our sick gun culture + their hateful agenda against the Jews, Blacks, Muslims, Immigrants, refugees, the Latinx, the Asians, the Arabs, LGBTQ, the differently-abled, and others. Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie writes: "The sacred path of Torah is a tree of life for those who follow—all our paths come from and lead to peace. Let love and faith in a life of peace guide us,not fear or hatred.We shall, because we must, together, overcome."
