As we start out the week, just a reminder how grateful I am for all members of my Tribe. Jewish and other.  Have a great week. 

It doesn’t matter the religion of your parents, which book you choose to get your rules of religion from, whether you rest on Friday or Saturday or Sunday  or none of the days. 

I don’t care if you were baptized or christened or had a bar/bat mitzvah;  I don’t care if you celebrated a Quinceanera, a Sweet 16 or a Sunrise Ceremony.  

Doesn’t matter if the food you eat is kosher or halal or traif (not kosher);  it doesn’t matter if you say prayers before you eat, after you eat, both or neither.  You can pray once a day, three times a day, five times a day or not at all. 

You can be from Europe or Africa or Australia or Asia.  From North or South America (is anyone really “from” North America?).  You can be any colour, any gender, any sexuality, any race.  

No, to be part of my tribe I have one simple requirement. 

You choose love over hate. 

You choose light over dark. 

You choose life over death.  

You choose order over terror. 

You choose western civilization over Radical Islam. 

It sounds like more than one, but it’s all the same.  

You need to have humanity, which is the quality of being humane; kindness; benevolence.  

Since Oct 7, this is all that matters to me. The humans that choose humanity, you are my brothers. My sisters.  My family.  My tribe. 

Much more than anyone who has a Jewish mother and chants for the destruction of their own people. 

I am honoured to have each of you in my tribe.  

Together we will get through this.  

Together we will dance again.
