Rabbi Axelrad was a leader with the JPF. He authored the important book "Call to Conscience: Jews, Judaism, and Conscientious Objection." (1986) published by the Jewish Peace Fellowship. More to come, but for now may we say "may his memory be a blessing."

The Brooklyn native was a founder of Boston's Havurat Shalom and a pioneer of adult b’nai mitzvah

The great rabbi and prophet Arthur Waskow passed away today at 92. Waskow was one of the most important figures in American Judaism, and perhaps did more than anyone to meld Jewish religion with left-wing peace politics. Waskow, a leader in the Jewish Renewal movement, was a long-time member of the Jewish Peace Fellowship before starting his own formidable platform in The Shalom Center. Consider donating to the Shalom Center (or JPF) in his honor. Check out Shaul Magid's interview with Arthur in the comments. May his memory energize us for struggle, resistance, and peace.

Have friends who are on the fence about voting because of Gaza, neoliberalism, etc.? Activist Shane Claiborne was quoted in the New Yorker 'saying that it’s much less about choosing [Harris] as a candidate than it is about voting for the person more likely to uphold the rule of law. “We’re not electing a savior,” Claiborne told me. “We’re electing someone we can protest against for the next eight years.”'

I remember where I was on 9/11, and the feelings over the next day or two: deep horror and sadness (not the adequate words) over the deaths and patriotic outrage over the attacks and, then, shortly after, worry about the vulnerable and fearful of the vengeful--trepidation over the inevitable ways states react to violence with violence. We - my circle of Princeton people - were horrified by the carnage, and then worried about our Muslim neighbors--first in the US and then the escalation of violence in the Middle East. On Oct 7th and the days after, I felt a similar sequence. How many families have to die for a state to achieve its goals? How many cities ruined? How much evil can we swallow? כמה רוע אפשר לבלוע
