Rabbi Drorah Setel’s Aug 6 Message
Last week I joined 26 other rabbis in an action that led to my arrest at the office of Senate Majority Leader John Thune. We were there to protest the situation in Gaza, where basic humanitarian aid is being held back while the world watches people starve. We felt compelled to act, based on the Jewish teaching that “if there is a hungry person, one must feed them” and our belief that starvation must not be used as a weapon of war.

TigerChat
TigerChat is a phone app that allows you to converse with or listen to another person or group using automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology that converts spoken words into typed text. The app was designed to work on the RIT campus, and RIT has extended it so that it now also works in the JCC.
