Waiting for the morning prayers to start 5 minutes later today because sunrise is getting later due to Daylight Saving Time. If we don’t change the clock to Standard Time, we will have to continue starting later and later.
They can’t figure out what the Mishnah means so they say: “Let’s go out and learn.” Sometimes you need to leave your comfort zone and talk to people outside your normal circles in order to understand. Sometimes you need to leave the beis medrash. (Yerushalmi Terumos 5:2)

From the Bronx to Brooklyn, we honor the original New Yorkers—from before "New York" existed—and the indigenous communities in our city and state today.
We resist erasure with reckoning, and marginalization with celebration.
