Tonight, I spoke to Progressive Jews for Justice in Israel/ Palestine on Gaza and the future of Progressive Judaism, specifically focussing on the barriers to rabbis and other Jewish leaders speaking out more vocally. You can read my address below:

Shavua tov!
Rabbi Gabriel Kanter-Webber 
Thanks, Gabriel, very much. Iâm having a problem of a not dissimilar kind: how might a Quaker respond to the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Iâve talked briefly about this in Meeting for Worship; and because our (Anglican) parish is currently in an interregnum and Helen edits the parish mag and is doing a series of âNot the Vicarâs letterâ, Iâve tried to gather my thoughts together in a more coherent fashion â attached. From a Friendsâ point of view, I guess itâs deeply heretical (or would be if we had such notions as âheresyâ) â or at any rate, not very Quakerly. But Quakerly or not, I reckon that Isaac Penington was right.
All the best,
Frank
