Happy to have a D'var Torah published in the Washington Jewish Week. TLDR War is easy, justice isn't.

Are the concepts of justice and war incompatible? We might think so, but the Torah does not. This week’s parashah, Shoftim, means “judges,”

Sarah's Voice: A New Perspective

Join Rabbi Debbie Reichmann, from the Interfaith Families Project, as she invites you to step into the world of the Hebrew Bible to explore the timeless tale of the Matriarch Sarah.

The Jewish students at Columbia University wrote this open letter. It is superb. Please read it. Please understand it.

Over the past six months, many have spoken in our name. Some are well-meaning alumni or non-affiliates who show up to wave the Israeli flag outside Columbia’s gates. Some are politicians looking to use our experiences to foment America’s culture war. Most notably, some are our Jewish peers who t...

Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, has never felt like this before. I never thought antisemitism would again rise to the level we find it today. I never thought the extermination of 6 million souls would be dismissed so easily.

For my relatives who perished in the ghettos and the camps. For my relatives who survived with scars to last their lifetimes. For my relatives who rebuilt their lives to create a world for their children and grandchildren. For all of these and more, I will not stand by, I cannot.

Antisemitism is a cancer like none other. It hides under veneers of intellectualism, of radical rhetoric and of false equivalencies.

Never forget = always be vigilant.

Check out this lovely article in Faith and Leadership from Duke University Divinity School!

"While many interfaith couples are encouraged to choose either church or synagogue and raise their children in one faith, IFFP offers a both/and option. Members learn about the spiritual practices as well as the histories and core beliefs of both; all the major holidays are celebrated.

“It’s a ‘project’ because we keep changing and evolving,” said Reichmann, who became a rabbi specifically to serve interfaith communities. “I love this work. It’s exciting to me to see these changes and foster a whole new way.”

“There’s a real openness to it, a generosity of spirit, with people wanting to try new things,” added Gonzalez-Block, who is IFFP’s first spiritual leader raised in an interfaith home."
