They Ain't Ready for Me
04/11/23 • 47 min
Habeebah sits down with Rabbi Tamar Manasseh, an ordained Rabbi, a mother of two, and founder of MASK (Mothers and Men Against Senseless Killings), an organization focused on interrupting violence and crime by building a sense of community and shared responsibility that teaches children to grow up as friends rather than enemies.
Rabbi Tamar shares that as a Jewish person of faith and Black mother she is uniquely positioned to act in response to the difficulties facing the Black community by responding to the command to leave the world a better place than she found it. She articulates the challenges of building healthier communities and strong children when the primary focus is on legislation instead of prioritizing education and liberation.
Rabbi Tamar offers listeners the principle of “All of Israel Are Responsible for One Another,” which she implements in all aspects of her work from providing meals and spaces for children to keep learning during the pandemic to offering an upcoming firearm safety course for youth ages three and above.
