There’s a Jewish saying, “Kol Yisrael arevim zeh lazeh,” or “All Israel for each other all the time.”I grew up in Englewood, but I attended a Jewish day school in Hyde Park. It was like being in two different worlds every day. So Jews have this principle, but we don’t really use it unless we feel threatened. Then we tend to circle the wagons—just look at what’s happening with what Kanye said.
So, I don’t like to talk about what we did together 50 years ago. We had to do something. If Dr. King and Rabbi Heschel are the only clergy buddy team you can find, you’ve got to dig deeper. We’ve got to do better. But I talk all the time about Jews and Black people having the same monsters under their beds and how we need each other. White supremacy has been our problem since we got here, and now you have guys like those in Charlottesville with the tiki torches saying “Jews will not replace us.
That puts us all in danger. People can say, “I don’t support abortion. That’s not my thing.” OK, that’s cool. I get that. But it’s not just about your opinion—it’s so much bigger than that.
It’s not just Black parents: it’s all parents who send their kids away to school in states where abortion is banned. And it’s not just college students. It can happen to anybody. It’s about womens’ health, period. When I was 16 I had to take birth control just to regulate my period. In some places I could’ve bled to death because I couldn’t get medication to fix the issue. It’s regular health care.
