The Chai Tea Vol. 17

I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY saw, October 8, and every single one of you needs to see it too. What really hit me with this movie is that it’s not just about antisemitism, it’s about so much more—-and how October 7th and the attacks opened the floodgates of antisemitism and hate against all ideals of western democracy.

You hear me say here and online often that we must speak up and speak out—-seeing this movie and sharing it with friends—-both Jewish and non-Jewish is an amazing way to take action.

This week I’m starting a tour de speaking if you will—-traveling to various places around the country in an effort to inspire others to take action—-to speak up, speak out and to be an upstander, NOT a bystander. Take a look below at some of my dates—-with more to come!

As a reminder, if you have an event you want us to share, fill out this form. And if you have a business we should meet, please pass them this form to fill out.  

Just a quick reminder as you read through this week’s issue. My ask of you when it comes to what I share here is VERY SIMPLE:

FOLLOW THEM, SHARE THEM WITH YOUR FRIENDS + COMMUNITY, or BUY FROM THEM.

Show them the love.

If you like what you see here, share this newsletter with your friends, encourage them to subscribe too! We’re better together…and the larger our community around here, the bigger the difference we can make.

The tea’s been brewing…and now I’m ready to spill.

Shavua Tov, have a good week.

I’ll see you next week. Same time, same place.

XX,

Lindsay Pinchuk, Founder of The Chai Tea
