Robby, I've shared your idea of a season of critical patriotism with Howard Fromkin, my friend at Temple B'Nai Israel, here in Hattiesburg. We'll be talking about it soon. This would give us an anchor and a name, and those kinds of "tools" are what we've been lacking. Thank you for putting it out.
I liked the idea of such a Holy Season.I first heard about the idea about a year ago, by you or a colleague. I appreciated the idea of beginning with Juneteenth, but it made me wonder how Memorial Day would fit in (if at all). Likewise, how the frequent overlap of Juneteenth and Father’s Day would affect the remembrance of both days. I would love to hear more about that from you, but also from Dr. Jemar Tisby and the rest of the Convocation members. Just my thoughts, which were planted last year. (Anyone else, please weigh in if you have thoughts!)
Fantastic idea with healing at its core. Thanks.
Check out Bridge of Lament on Substack that engages in critical patriotism at a local level between Juneteenth and Independence Day with daily posts. https://open.substack.com/pub/bridgeoflament?r=re0nu&utm_medium=ios
This is brilliant, Robby. Yasher Koach.
Thanks, Arnie!

Dick, that's fantastic to hear. Keep me posted--I'd love to hear how it develops!
Happy birthday. Birthday blessings.
I like this idea Robert. Your birthday is June 19th. Mine is July 3rd. July 5th would have marked 45 years of marriage to my late wife Jeannette.
I have always framed the Fourth with personal celebrations. Perhaps tomorrow I will begin an extended season of preparation for it.
Wonderful idea to expand focus on liberty & equality!
