About this site
Welcome to From Root to Branch, an independent publication launched as a space for deep conversations, honest reflections, and meaningful storytelling about progressive Zionism, Jewish identity and social justice.
I'm Rae - a Jewish convert and activist who believes in the power of narratives to shape movements, challenge assumptions, and build stronger communities. Through this newsletter, I explore the complexities of being a progressive Zionist, navigating Jewish life and advocating for justice in an ever-changing world.
Expect thoughtful essays, personal reflections, historical insights, and media analysis, all centered around the intersection of Zionism, Jewish identity, activism, and the evolving social and political landscape. Whether you're here to learn, question, or engage in meaningful dialogue, I hope this space fosters a community of curiosity, critical thinking, and solidarity.
What You'll Find Here...
- Personal stories on conversion, belonging, and identity
- Perspectives on progressive Zionism and Jewish advocacy
- Media literacy and narrative analysis in social justice spaces
- Reflections on community-building and activism
This is an open, evolving conversation, and I'd love to hear your thoughts, questions, and insights along the way.
Let's learn, grow, and challenge ourselves - together.
