I just wanted to say thank you, and phenomenal, from the weekly newsletter and well thought-out calls to action (making it easy for me to sign, act, support) to the Torah study, where you made me feel welcome. As a gentile, the lessons and discussion speak to me, exactly where I am right now.
I am very grateful. This is where my heart is and I am looking forward to learning and growing in this community.
I am super grateful for finding Beyt Tikkun. What I’ve appreciated is having an explicit anti-Zionist framework in which Jewish spirituality and ritual are held. This has offered me the deep spiritual solace and containment I had yearned for.
Beyt Tikkun is a humble and smart group of like-minded people standing for community consciousness and social justice.
I appreciate that Rabbi Cat takes a strong social justice stand for all humans. This aligns with my Jewish values to welcome the stranger and treat everyone the way we want to be treated.
