Declaring Interdependence:Renewing the 4th of July
Peace | Justice | Earth | Fourth of July | Seasons of American Sacred Time | CommunityRabbi Arthur Waskow, 7/28/2004
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the peoples of the earth —
to declare our interdependence with each other and with all the life-forms of the planet,
and our independence from efforts by the most powerful and most reckless among the national governments to create a new and global Empire;
Then a decent respect to the opinions of Humanity requires that we declare the causes that impel us to rise beyond the present Powers of the earth and to embody our planetary community in new social, political, and economic forms.
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
Abuse Prevention Policy Abstract for Kehilla Community Synagogue
Community6/29/2005
The following is a summary of Kehilla Community Synagogue's policies, protocol, and commitments for abuse prevention. The document is a WORK IN PROGRESS prepared by the congregation, with technical assistance from Shalom Bayit (Bay Area Jewish Women Working to End Domestic Violence).We strongly recommend that these policies and protocols be used in all situations of abuse. Of course, we recognize that each abusive relationship is unique and must be investigated thoroughly. However, years of experience in addressing abuse have shown that the policies enumerated in these protocols are generally most effective in increasing community safety and in helping people heal from abuse. We therefore urge the Kehilla community to consult and incorporate these policies whenever possible.

How can we face the Pharaohs in our own lives?
"West Wing" + Red Sox = Kerry; New Readers' Contest
Iraq-US War | Israeli-Palestinian Collision | Addressing Global Terrorism | CommunityPinch-Hitter Arthur Waskow, 10/21/2004
Dear folks,
For years, I have indulged the fantasy of living in a well-governed America by watching the TV "West Wing." Last year, it got increasingly frenzied with derring-do of war and violence — often misdirected, just as in "real life" these last few years.
But now TV has turned the corner. The new-season premiere of "West Wing" and the seventh game of the American League playoffs came on the same night. My conclusions about the coming elections are below.
Below are also the rules for A NEW READERS' CONTEST like our recent "Karl Rove Tactical Intervention" contest. Be sure to enter — There's a wonderful prize!!
