So much of the story you're telling here recalls for me that incantation, that promise, that commandment from the Psalms: l'dor v'dor. A feminist l'dor v'dor. A mother-to-daughter l'dor v'dor. From our grandmothers to our mothers, l'dor v'dor. We tell our stories to keep them alive, to thread history through them. When you stood with those Texas women, with flesh and bone, all of you also stood with the women you've loved, and the ones who will love you. Such a gorgeous unity of your Jewish self and your gender identity and your politics here.
