Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela within a minute of each other, causing widespread devastation and forcing residents into the streets as rescue teams search for survivors. Among the strongest in the country’s history, they have claimed dozens of lives, injured hundreds, and left many without homes, power, or basic necessities. A nationwide state of emergency underscores the unfolding crisis.
Our partners are already responding. The Jewish community is sheltering those displaced, while the American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and The Jewish Agency for Israel are delivering emergency supplies and coordinating support. Your help ensures aid reaches those in need quickly—upholding our shared responsibility to care for one another in moments like this.

"The Talmud teaches that fathers have a long list of sacred obligations to their children: to bring them into the covenant, to teach them Torah, to help them make a path toward love and independence. And to that list, the Sages add one more thing: We must teach our children to swim (Talmud, Kiddushin 29a). Rashi, the great medieval commentator, explains: 'Lest they someday find themselves in danger, they can save themselves.'"⁠

In a guest post on the PJ Library blog (link in the comments), Rabbi Adam Greenwald looks at the essence of fatherhood and the lessons that parents impart to their children. Wishing PJ Library families a happy Father's Day.

This Shabbat, recognize Juneteenth and recommit to the sacred work of pursuing justice and freedom for all. The Jewish value of “tzedek, tzedek tirdof” (justice, justice you shall pursue) calls on us to build communities rooted in equity, dignity, and justice for everyone. Shabbat Shalom.
