James M Branum - יעקב מתתיהו ☮<p><a href="https://shj.org/jews-of-latin-america-fall-2024-humanistic-judaism-magazine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shj.org/jews-of-latin-america-</span><span class="invisible">fall-2024-humanistic-judaism-magazine/</span></a></p><p>I'm sharing this link to the preview edition of the new issue of <a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanisticJudaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanisticJudaism</span></a> magazine, which focused primarily on the Jews of Latin America, but also on the @SHJ's Humanistic Jewish role model of the year, The Mothers of the Plaza Mayo in Argentina.</p><p>This was my final issue as editor, so I thought I would share my editorial note (with some hashtags and links added) from the issue which gives a preview of the content. </p><p>======================<br>According to Israeli author Yuval Noah Harari (see our review of his latest book on page 7), stories are the life blood of human civilization, providing meaning and context to our experiences in this world. Unfortunately, stories also have a critical weakness. Since they are subjective in nature, the limited perspective and worldview of the storyteller unavoidably distorts the narrative.</p><p>For far too long, much of the Jewish institutional world has centered the stories of the Jews of Israel, Europe and North America over all other stories, which means we are missing out on the stories and lessons of Jews from other parts of the world. This issue’s focus on the Jews of <a href="https://c.im/tags/LatinAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LatinAmerica</span></a> is intended as a<br>partial corrective to this omission.</p><p>Two of the voices in this issue are from Latin American Jews themselves: Rabbi Andy Faur who wrote about Latin American Jewish peoplehood, and Ilan Rosenthal who shared about <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mishpajag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mishpajag</span></a>, an experimental Humanistic Jewish community in <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mexico</span></a>.</p><p>The theme of this issue also is connected to this year’s Humanistic Jewish Role Model of the Year: the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a protest movement of mothers who courageously sought the truth about their children who “disappeared” during the days of the US-backed military dictatorship in <a href="https://c.im/tags/Argentina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Argentina</span></a>. Their story is told by<br>Judith Tiferes and Rabbi Miriam Muroff Jerris.</p><p>And finally, we have a piece by me on Jewish cultural travel to <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cuba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cuba</span></a>, a place where Judaism is thriving despite challenging circumstances. </p><p>In this issue we also hear from Adam King Skrzynskii who makes a humanistic case for the value and relevance of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hanukkah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hanukkah</span></a>, as well as Rabbi Jeffrey L Falick who discusses the pernicious nature of<br>antisemitism that is popping up in unexpected places.</p><p>Finally, we have community news updates from Or Emet Minnesota Congregation For Humanistic Judaism (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN),<br>Baltimore Jewish Cultural Chavurah (MD), and Or Adam Congregation For Humanistic Judaism (Phoenix, AZ).</p><p>Due to my changing life circumstances, this is my last issue of editing this magazine. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to work with so many incredible people in our movement over the last three years, but I must give a special thank you to Rabbi Miriam Jerris, whose humor and enthusiasm made the challenging parts of the job much easier.</p><p>I have a lot of confidence in my successor, Cantor Jonathan L. Friedmann. I believe his long experience engaged in Jewish culture and commitment to our movement will be invaluable. I am excited to see how the magazine will evolve under his leadership.</p><p>In gratitude,<br>JMB<br>========================</p><p>To subscribe to the magazine, please visit: shj.org/magazine </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanisticJudaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanisticJudaism</span></a></p>
