Ugh, I hate this tiny character limit. I am thus attaching my concluding thoughts in this picture (click to enlarge text.)

#Achdut #AhavatYisrael #Jewishcommunity

Sadly, I've received some unkind or mean feedback when I offered this list of collaborations: Jewish laypeople and leaders who reject virtue signaling and instead make friends across denominational lines!
#ReformJews, #OrthodoxJews, #ConservativeJews, #JewishRenewal, #NeoHasidic Jews, learning and doing things together.

Folks in my community think that this is great: It'd be wonderful to see more of this in our communities <3

We believe that Jewish communities should be accepting of Jews whether we're Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Maghrebi or Mizrachi; whether born Jewish or converted; married or unmarried; straight or gay; more or less observant; rationalist or mystic.

When it comes to history we consider Marc Shapiro’s “Changing the Immutable: How Orthodox Judaism Rewrites Its History.” No one is criticized for citing scholarship that doesn’t match strict traditional or ArtScroll beliefs.

What controversies exist in converting to Judaism? How can we grow together as a community instead of splintering into factions? JTS Chancellor Ismar Schorsch offers a voice from the center. He continues his stance of reaching out in love to all Reform, Orthodox, Sephardic, and Conservative Jews. Do you know of local collaboration between rabbis of different denominations? We'd love to hear about it, please comment

The pressing need and opportunity for Jewish unity - Never since the end of the second world war has there been more of a need for all Jews to work together. And never has there been more opportunity.

What if we looked at the best aspects of Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Neo-Hasidic, and Reconstructionist #Judaism? What if we made friends with Jews in other communities, without demanding that everyone become exactly like us? Check this idea out, share with friends

Jewish sisters and brothers, in a world where extremists on the right chant “Jews will not replace us” – and extremists on the left chant “globalize the intifada” - we must remember that Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Bazeh. All of Israel Are Responsible for One Another. (Talmud Bavli, Shevuot 39a)

Reform, Orthodox, Sephardic, and Conservative Jews need to reach out to each other with love, support, and understanding. We should want to find ways to work #together.

Did you know - on several occasions rabbis in Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism worked to heal rifts in our community. If more people know about these enterprises it could inspire our own generation to help restore #Jewishunity

Where do we see Non-Orthodox and Orthodox #rabbis and lay Jewish leaders working together? Where do we see people creating #Achdut (#JewishUnity) today? We're looking for examples and inspirations!

Here we see Jews from #CLAL, from all denominations, at the Katz Center for Jewish Studies at the Univ. of Pennsylvania

A vision – An ideal Jewish community could adopt the best ideas from any form of Judaism.

What if we looked at the best aspects of Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Neo-Hasidic, and Reconstructionist Judaism? What if we made friends with Jewish people in other communities, without demanding that everyone become exactly like us? Please check this idea out, share with friends

I hope people share this: Here we see Conservative, Reform and Orthodox #Jews studying #Torah and #mussar together in #Brookline, Massachusetts.

We should encourage our local Jewish community leaders to do the same - Torah, #Mishnah, Talmud, #Maimonides, Mussar, are our common inheritance. With good will any community can create opportunities for cooperation, spirituality, Talmud Torah, and communal strength.

How we can rebuilt Jewish unity?
On several occasions rabbis in Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism worked to heal rifts in the Jewish community.
If more people know about these enterprises, it may inspire our own generation to help restore Jewish unity.
Do you know of any interdenominatial cooperation?
