Courtesy of jta (JTA) For years, Chava Shervington would connect informally with other Black Orthodox Jews to celebrate Black history that often wasn’t discussed in their communities and to offer and receive advice on a range of topics – from what communities were the most inclusive to how to deal with their children being bullied at majority-white day schools. But it wasn’t until last year as the death of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests led to a nationwide racial reckoning that Shervington decided to join forces with three other Black Orthodox Jews to create a formal space where those conversations could take place. The result was Kamochah, which is likely the first ever group to cater to Black Jews who identify as Orthodox. ....

Rabbi Shais Rishon speaks at a rally in New York City, January 2020. (Gili Getz via JTA) JTA In the first chapter of Rabbi Shais Rishon’s new Torah commentary, the voices of ancient rabbis mingle with contemporary poets and, at one point, with “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson.
