RNS-Twitty-Passover: Michael Twitty’s kosher soul offers an updated story of liberation
(RNS) — Passover is Michael W. Twitty’s favorite Jewish holiday. A cook and James Beard Book Award-winning culinary historian, Twitty owns that the food is a big reason. But that’s not all. According to Twitty family lore, the holiday, on which Jews retell their exodus from slavery to freedom, also coincides with his enslaved ancestors’ freedom from bondage.

COMMENTARY
RNS-Salkin-Oped: The day Reform Judaism made history
(RNS) — In my opinion, the most important day in the history of Reform Judaism was Tuesday, March 23, 2021. That was when we learned Rabbi Gilad Kariv, president and CEO of the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism, became the first Reform rabbi to be elected to Israel’s Knesset.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
