Rabbi Michael Lerner, through TIKKUN Magazine and its interfaith Network of Spiritual Progressives, has disseminated a full-page print ad asking the country to turn away from the direction of a war with Iran. The ad promotes constructive attitudes and alternative approaches which can accomplish much more than the objectives of war—right actions for the right reasons. Individuals are asked at least to read the ad, and to consider signing it if they are in agreement. This can be done (at the bottom of the web page) without making any financial contribution: www.tikkun.org/iran.
This effort is an excellent exposure to an ongoing effort that frequently makes common cause with the work of ILYM Peace Resources Committee. Here lies an opportunity for us to amplify our voice and to benefit from the companion work of Rabbi Lerner and TIKKUN.
