Purim reminds us that even in moments of uncertainty, courage, resilience, and community can change the course of history.
Today we celebrate joy, generosity, and the enduring strength that comes from standing up for one another.
Wishing everyone celebrating a happy Purim!

Independent religious, human rights & legal-aid organizations should have regular access to federal immigrant detention centers, including & especially those privately operated. Humane conditions & treatment need to be verified. Assertions that everything is fine are not enough.

"Catholic Zionism does not support an 'apocalyptic' showdown...Nor does it partake of the anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, or anti-Palestinian sentiments sometimes found among Christian Zionists...The Catholic Zionism I endorse supports the right of Palestinians to their sovereignty and Βself-determination."
