Batya creates loving and moving spaces for so many of us through their beautiful song creation and leading along with their supportive organizing. I’ve been in close-knit community with Batya in Boston through Kavod and in forming a Jews of Color, Indigenous Jews, Sephardim and Mizrahim scholarship at Let My People Sing! I am inspired by their vision and humility, and by the ways they’ve shown their commitment to centering traditions, h(er)stories, and culture that are so often marginalized in our communities.
