Kol Nidrei on Yom Kippur is one of the unruliest, most liberating, and anarchic Jewish texts. It is our heritage of refusal. We need it today, more than ever, to liberate ourselves from the curse of Zionism that colonized our diverse Jewish worlds.
The new book “Daybreak in Gaza: Stories of Palestinian Lives and Culture” seeks to push back against the dehumanization at the heart of the Gaza genocide by illuminating the human spirit of a place under attack.
