MSNIP Self-Assessment Tool

One aspect of MSNIP’s mission is to support institutionally-affiliated Jews who want to promote progressive approaches on Israel/Palestine in their communities. This worksheet is meant to help individuals reflect on their experiences in their communities and act on those reflections. Questions may be answered on your own or with fellow members from your congregation, as feels right. Feel free to make your own version of this tool for your community.

Jews for Food Aid in Gaza

Jewish people support food aid for people in Gaza and an immediate end to the Israeli government’s food aid blockade. The Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza campaign now includes 27,000 Jewish signatories, 820 Jewish clergy, and 120 Jewish organizations. It has raised over $400,000 for the Gaza Soup Kitchen, and has allowed them to continue their operations even under bombardment and the exorbitant prices for food, in order to ensure that as many people as they can get fed. Read more about the Passover 5786 Campaign here.

MSNIP has voted to join Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza. If you donate, you can list MSNIP as your affiliation.

Together for an Inclusive Massachusetts (TIM) 

Together for an Inclusive Massachusetts (TIM) is a group of Jewish, Muslim, labor, education, student, civil rights and other organizations and individuals advocating for justice and equity in the Commonwealth that came together in response to a back-door effort to shape antisemitism policy and education in the Commonwealth. 

TIM aims to work collectively to mobilize a broad public base to ensure that Massachusetts policy makers address antisemitism using an anti-racist, solidarity framework. TIM rejects partisan efforts to exclude Jewish people who are critical of Israel or to redefine antisemitism in a way that harms Palestinians. MSNIP encourages you to get involved.
