Let's talk health care and Jewish values. GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance has been arguing that we need to segregate sick people in high risk insurance pools to lower premiums for the healthy. Where this has been tried, the results are...not great.

yesterday was the bday of Jewish poet Leonard Cohen, who is one of our Heroes With Chutzpah! He would be 90 this year. Learn about Leonard Cohen and other Jewish changemakers in Heroes With Chutzpah (buy at the link:) www.amazon.com/Heroe... 1/7

Leonard’s love of music and poetry began by listening to his mother sing in their Montreal home. As a college student, Leonard published his first poems. After college, Leonard lived in Toronto, New York, and London. He studied law, then literature, but kept returning to poetry. He moved to the Greek island of Hydras. There, he rented a place for $14 a month, wrote his first novels, and turned his attention to songwriting. When he felt ready, he moved back to New York. For nearly 50 years, Leonard wrote soulful, realistic songs about life: love and hate, war and peace, ecstasy and depression. Leonard toured the world with his music, including several visits to Israel. Leonard incorporated Judaism and many other spiritual traditions into his music. Exploring other religions “enriched my understanding of my own tradition,” said Leonard.
