Brant is the founder of Tzedek Chicago, a non-Zionist Jewish congregation based on the core values of justice, anti-racism, and solidarity with the oppressed, including Palestinians. His project is a book of new Jewish prayers for Shabbat, holidays, and other sacred occasions. Written in English, this prayer book will create a new idiom for Jewish liturgy reflecting values of liberation, the prophetic imperative to speak truth to power, and a diaspora-based vision that views the entire world as the Jewish homeland.
