How Donors Can Advance Racial Justice
In response to recent tragedies, many donors – whether in private or public foundations, donor-advised funds, or less structured philanthropy – have, internally and externally, offered important statements of support for the Black Lives Matter movement and racial justice and equity, with a commitment to anti-racism efforts. Now is the time to go beyond statements.
The question is whether to bike or not with the “biking community” on Shabbat? The Commandment is “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy” (meaning set apart). Isaiah 58; 13-14 tells me personally to “be still….avoid doing my own pleasure on HIS holy day”…..etc. This, my husband and I do. This would not include a “thrilling, wild bike ride with the biking community.”
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the biking issue on Shabbat. Cathy
