“Our Torah teaches us that getting to the Promised Land is difficult, not only through physical struggle, but also with internal strife and reconciliation with those in our community. Reaching the Promised Land takes time, even generations, to achieve, but it can be done – but for that to happen, we must commit to doing the work. Because the stakes right now – for me, for Black Jews and Jews of color, for Black people and people of color – the stakes couldn’t be higher.” – Evan Traylor
