Sharing this very special episode of #JudaismUnbound, that discusses the #Unyeshiva's certificate program in #UnboundJudaism.

I'm sharing it for two reasons:

1. I'm hoping that many of my friends consider applying for the certificate program, as the application deadline for the second cohort is almost here. My experience is part of the first cohort has been transformational. I would love for more people to have this opportunity.

2. Rena Yehuda mentioned my capstone project that I'm currently working on, a project to train and support draft counselors to be ready to support Jewish conscientious objectors if a draft is called in the USA (but also to be ready to support current Jewish servicemembers who are struggling with issues of conscience)!

I very much appreciate the shoutout!

Here are the words of Sophia Orr, a brave Israeli conscientious objector who is going to military prison rather than agreeing to serve in the IDF:

"I'm coming here today to refuse to enlist in the IDF, as an act of solidarity and love to the Palestinian people. And to say that war has no winners, that violence only leads to more violence, and that everyone's being held by this war and by the occupation, that the only way that we can ever solve this is by a political solution and to share peace to everyone.

It's also a message to the people of Gaza . . . (that) here are people fighting for them and that we are trying to make peace, some of us, and it's also a message to the people in Israel, to show them that refusing is possible, and to raise that message and to raise that voice as loudly as they can.

* touting simplistic solutions for years
* image makeover: lose the glasses, drop the tie, slow the cadence, reduce the Brylcreem
* v. little experience/expertise dealing w. big problems
* hasn’t changed; just found good communications advisors

CTVNews · Tom Mulcair: Take a closer look at what Pierre Poilievre is peddlingAfter delivering an epic speech to Conservative Party faithful this past weekend in Quebec City, Pierre Poilievre is riding high. In his column for CTVNews.ca, former NDP leader Tom Mulcair says it's time Canadians take a much closer look at what the Conservative leader's saying, and question whether it's the kind of leadership they want.

What do policies Poilievre's party passed say about Conservatives' future?

* Poilievre spent summer speaking about housing affordability
* only proposal addressing that issue did not make it to final plenary vote

CTVNewsWhat do the policies Poilievre's party passed say about the Conservatives' future?Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spent the summer speaking about housing affordability, a core focus that attendees at the party's Quebec City convention were quick to praise him for. But by the end of the weekend, delegates opted to instead pass policies on contentious social issues. What does that say about the Conservatives' future?
