The holiday of Rosh Hashana offers a vital place to begin.
Other Jewish holidays focus on ancient Israelite history; Rosh Hashana is universal.
Others, myself included, look to the kind of Jewish universalism found in Rosh Hashana as a call to resist nationalism’s exclusionary and often supremacist logic.
Rosh Hashana reminds us of this historical reality.
Plaskow and Butler, taken together, offer a vision of Judaism that resonates deeply with the spirit of Rosh Hashana.
