Jewish DIY in support of the Palestinian BDS Call

We are very pleased to present our feature interview with Narrow Bridge Candles founder, Jonah Aline Daniel. Jonah makes and sells beautiful beeswax candles for Hannukah, Shabbes and Havdalah in the Bay area in California, using locally sourced, 100% pure beeswax with no dye or perfumes. 10% of the proceeds of Narrow Bridge Candles go towards the Stop the JNF Campaign.
We had a great conversation with Jonah about DIY Judaism, the value of ritual, Jewish anti-zionism and more.
With music by Le Trio Joubran (âTanasimâ), Yoni & Malcah (âBDSâ) and Ofra Haza (âKol Haâolam Kuloâ).

WHEN DEMOCRATS FAVORED PEACE
United Nations investigators announced plans this week to determine the legality of President Barack Obama's "kill lists" and exponential expansion of deadly drone strikes around the world. During recent debates, both Democrat Obama and Republican Romney agreed on the desirability of remotely controlled homicide.
But there was once a time when Democrats opposed illegal, undeclared wars, and mass murders of civilians - whether by drone-strikes, or by Vietnam-era carpet-bombing.
One such peace-seeking Democrat was the late presidential candidate Sen. GEORGE MCGOVERN, who spoke eloquently of peace and economic justice during his nomination acceptance speech exactly 40 years ago, at 2am, on July 10, 1972;
BOB DYLAN - "Shelter from the Storm";
JACKSON BROWNE - "Before the Deluge".
