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.
