I know I was taking a little break to avoid all the stress of the Charlottesville rally being talked about on tumblr, but I also wanted to make sure all of my Jewish mutuals know how loved they are. I know this is scary and sometimes it feels like the only people looking out for us is ourselves, but know that you are not alone and have never been alone. We are one mishpacha, one family, and we will look after each other and keep each other safe like we always have. I love each and every one of you. Remember, the whole world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing is to have no fear at all.
Goyim, please reblog this instead of all the performative “punch a nazi” nonsense. Make your Jewish followers feel safe.
never enough support for jewish people in my left leaning spaces. a tumblr post doesn’t change what is happening but it is so comforting to see us being acknowledged, cared for, noticed. thanks for this 💜
The Brody Jewish Center, Hillel of the University of Virginia could definitely use donations in order to help those 1000+ students feel safe and supported when they move into their dorms next week.
Also, Congregation Beth Israel is the only synagogue in the entire county and though they don’t accept donations online, you can contact them online and inquire about donating.
There’s also IMPACT CVille, which is an interfaith (Jewish, Muslim, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Unitarian Universalist) direct action organization in the area which places an emphasis on building strong relationships that are spiritually, racially and economically diverse.
Oh, and the Jewish community of Charlottesville may be relatively small but it has a very long and rich history in the area (the first Jewish residents were actually there before Thomas Jefferson created Monticello or the University).
