Here’s a sefirotic tree for July 4th. The sefirotic tree is a central motif of Jewish mysticism that shows ten emanations (sefirot) of God, from Keter (Crown) to Yesod (Foundation). For me, it’s about human beings being the best that human beings can be and acting in recognition of our interdependence and interconnection. July 4th: Interdependence Day.
I’m Arielle Angel, editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. Before you go, there’s something I need to ask.
We’ve seen over and over how the mainstream media falters in telling stories on our beats—whether it’s antisemitism, Israel/Palestine in American politics, Jewish identity, or the American left. At Jewish Currents we’re committed to uncompromising analysis and longform reporting on these issues and more—stories you won’t find anywhere else. In a media landscape that obscures injustice and flattens discussion, we’re changing the conversation. But we need you.
If you believe in this work, please consider making a donation—or even better, a recurring one—to ensure that we are able to keep publishing stories like this one. We can’t do it without you.
