Zakhor text study - Amalek - Out There or In Here?

The two active commissions of the Reconstructionist movement – the Tikkun Olam Commission (TOC) and the Joint Israel Commission (JIC) – are seeking nominees to fill several seats on each commission. Beginning this year, a request for nominations will go out every year. Terms begin September 1st and last for three years with the option to apply for a second term. Both commissions onboard new members in staggered stages so there are openings for new folks each year.

(Written for Shabbat Bo, January 22, 2021, and originally published at The Times of Israel as “The Rituals of American Democracy” Used with kind permission.)
Wednesday morning, I settled in to watch the inaugural events unfold. I was filled with anticipation and relief that the last four years were over, and a new era was about to begin.

Democracy advances millennia of Jewish experiments in self-governance, while also allowing deep and meaningful engagement with other ethnic and religious groups and full participation in broader society.
