  "textContent": "__This newsletter is a reader-supported publication. Paid subscriptions allow our tiny team to keep doing this work. If you want in to the House of Study but paying isn't on for you right now, reach out and we'll hook you up, no questions asked.__\n\nLife is a Sacred Text is blooming— and we need your help.\n\nBack in February, I announced our new chapter. I told you how, after four and a half years of Torah commentary, we’re entering a **whole new world.**\n\nAnd we’ve been doing just that: Writing toward defying empire; offering practical tools for more effective changemaking; tips for perservering; walking you through ways to nourish and replenish yourself through it all. We've also begun to get into the moral and narrative perspectives on the prophetic books, and navigated some big questions about a couple of holidays in between.\n\nBut there’s a piece of the puzzle that's missing: **Who we are** and _why**we need you**_ to be a part of this process.\n\nAmidst the sea of billionaire-owned media, Life is a Sacred Text is entirely reader-funded, so that we can keep telling the truths that love on our world and come up with strategies to fight harm– and build something bigger, together.\n\nIn 2024, we moved off Substack—that Nazi-tolerating, Elon-sycophantic for-profit machine. Then nestled into our home here on Ghost—recently recognized as a “digital public good” by the DPGA— making us a fully independent public education project.\n\nThis is more than just a newsletter: **We're a community of readers building a movement** that ties our own becoming to the grander project of collective liberation. And we have big plans.\n\nBut to build towards this, we need your support. We need more **House of Study members**.\n\nlevel up now ❤️\n\nAnd, so we're all clear: in addition to our content changes, we are actively laying the foundation for the growth of this community (here, in no particular order:)\n\n  1. We're working on a **training for liberatory work series** with absolutely _unbelievable_ guest teachers that's soon to be unveiled and can have a real impact, I believe.\n  2. We’re **upgrading the website** , big time. We’re working on a new look and more **streamlined navigation**. There’ll be a LiST menu, of sorts. You’ll be able to return to the pieces you love, sort by theme or need, and find treasures you may have missed. All coming very, very soon.\n  3. With that, we’ll be making more opportunities for more **active participation,** both within this space and beyond. We're hoping that this upgrade will make it easier to have more engaged conversation together in a number of ways, both in this virtual space and beyond.\n  4. And as part of _that_ , we’re working on ways to move the conversation **off the page**. That is to say: We're working towards building local networks of readers so that you have access to the other folks who share this part of yourself with you. So you can connect, meet up, support one other in many ways. Keep an eye out for that soon, too.\n\n\n\n### But we can't do any of this in a vacuum.\n\n\n**Joining the House of Study is the most direct way you can support LiST’s vision.** And if you're already a member, consider upping your tier, telling a friend about this project, or both?\n\nAs you know, we grow off the algorithm. So, spreading the word to even one friend who might enjoy better understanding the world, having new ways to nourish themselves and/or tools to make the world better is everything— literally.\n\nIn other words, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump in:\nNow is the time**.**\n\nLet’s keep this thing blooming, yeah?\n\nWith utmost gratitude,\n\nRDR❤️🌱\n\n**House of Study Nourishment**\n\nFor just six bucks a month (ONE FANCY COFFEE) or $60 per year (17% discount), House of Study Members get:\n\n  * 📚**Exclusive Thursday essays** : conversations with more wild, transformative teachings, healing modalities, ways to navigate this moment, peeks behind the curtain at my process\n  * 🌱**Ask the Rabbi** and **Ask the Community** opens threads: bespoke advice, recommendations, and connection.\n  * ❤️**Supporting the labor** that goes into these longer, free Monday essays\n  * 🎉**Free goodies** & so much more!\n\n\n\nUPGRADE NOW!!\n\nAnd, as always: Thank you.",
