Celtic 今晚大勝103比86 後續比賽波市府會再暫時封街慶祝

(Boston Orange 綜合編譯) 去年剛贏得隊史上第18座總冠軍的塞爾提克隊 (Celtic) ，今年又再打入決賽，4月20日晚第一仗和奧蘭多魔術隊對陣，以103比86大勝。

波士頓市長吳弭預見塞爾提克隊氣勢，4月18日晚就宣佈了波士頓市TD花園旁的Canal 街，4月20日暫時封閉，好讓球迷們可以在塞爾提克球隊 (Celtic) 打全國籃球聯盟 (NBA) 決賽的第一場比賽時，倘佯在這臨時的行人徒步區同歡、慶祝。

波士頓市長吳弭是在2023年時，第一次把Canal街暫時變成行人徒步區，方便球迷和球隊慶祝。後來這就變成了年度傳統。

NBA的決賽，東西區各有八隊，經七戰四勝後，篩選出東西區冠軍對決。塞爾提克隊之外，東區打入NBA決賽的其他隊伍為克里夫蘭騎士隊，邁阿密熱火隊奧蘭多魔術隊，紐約尼克隊，底特律活塞隊，印第安納溜馬 隊，以及密爾瓦基公鹿隊。

塞爾提克隊今晚贏球後，下一場和哪一隊比賽，還得等其他各場比賽成績出爐，但塞爾提克隊的比賽地點，應仍在TD花園。

波士頓市府為方便市民、球迷慶祝，將在後續比賽時，根據比賽調整時程，都採取同樣的暫時封街措施，從比賽前一小時，到比賽後一小時，把TD花園球場旁的Canal街暫時封閉，讓球迷及球員可以放心的在無車的行人徒步區內歡慶。

相關詳情，都將公佈在市府官網上，boston.gov。

              (Boston Orange 綜合編譯) 1775年4月18日晚8點，保羅里維爾 (Paul Revere) 策馬狂奔75英里，4月19日大約清晨5點，勒星頓鎮 (Lexington)爆出第一聲槍響，啟動美國革命戰爭。250年後的2025年，麻州和波士頓特意在這2天，攜手重演歷史，強調美國人的追求自由。

              波士頓市長吳弭 (Michelle Wu) 說，” 我們相信彼此，我們拒絕失敗” 。麻州州長奚莉 (Maura Healey) 說，” 我們有集體決心、統一目標，以及對自由這理念的深刻、廣泛認同” 。

麻州州長Maura Healey也強調自由的重要。(市府圖片)

              4月18日晚的歷史重演，由波士頓市和「波士頓250」主導，老北教堂，「老北燈火通明」，保羅里維爾屋，國家公園服務局，”邦克丘(Bunker Hill) 250”，查理士城保護協會，” 現在的波士頓海港” 等組織，攜手合作。

              波士頓市長吳弭先去了位於北端 (North End) 塞冷街(Salem) 193號的老北教堂，在那兒舉行了一場傳統的掛燈儀式，把燈掛在教堂尖塔上，重演當年的”閃一下，從陸地來，閃兩下，從海路來”的暗號。

波士頓250在慶祝歷史中加入無人機燈光表演，帶入現代氣息。

              接著，數以成百上千計的人們，來到保羅里維爾廣場，等著”保羅里維爾”的重演者在晚上8點整，策馬進場，向勒星頓鎮狂奔而去。

              吳弭市長致詞時還說，願波士頓永遠是世界，以及美國的燈塔，信念將帶領人們前行，自由永遠值得爭取，而鬥爭已經來到。

              麻州州長奚莉也在保羅里維爾廣場上，發表了一篇洋洋灑灑的講話，既緬懷250年前那些背景各異的人們，從四面八方集結地到波士頓，包括組成民兵團的商人、工人，黑人，從現在的新罕布夏州、康州趕過來的軍隊，甚至還有莫希干 (Mohicans)等部落民眾徒步137英里，都只為爭取自由，也特地以康可鎮 (Concord)的Martha Moulton夫人為阻止英軍，焚燒鎮公所的勇敢，來彰顯婦女在美國革命成功上，也有重要地位。

              奚莉州長指出，當年麻州的第一任，以及第四任州長，約翰漢考克 (John Hancock)和山姆亞當斯 (Samuel Adams)，都在勒星頓鎮，參與了美國革命的第一場戰爭，以75人之少數迎戰英軍，然後打到康可鎮時，迎戰人數增至400人，打到波士頓時，竟聚集了2萬人。

              她說，如果約翰漢考克和山姆亞當斯見到麻州第73任州長是一名女性，一定很驚訝，但是他們的智慧與信念，讓自由成為國家的核心，而這自由是一種力量，一旦點燃，就無法否定。

              奚莉州長說，”在麻州，我們必須，也會是，又一次地成為自由衛士”。

400多猶太人抗議川普以「反猶太主義」名義打壓異己 促麻州通過「尊嚴而非驅逐法」

              (Boston Orange 編譯) 400多猶太人，4月17日晚聚在波士頓市府大樓外示威，抗議，呼籲聯邦政府立即釋放塔芙茨大學學生Rumeysa Ozturk，反對川普以打擊「反猶太主義」名義，侵犯公民自由，促請麻州政府通過「尊嚴而非驅逐法（Dignity Not Deportations Act）」。

              這400多人來自大波士頓地區的至少12個猶太組織，高舉著「釋放 Rumeysa」，「團結反對獨裁」等標語。

他們特地選擇在4月12日至20日之間的猶太人逾越節 (Passover) 聚集，抗議美國移民及海關執法局 (ICE)的逮捕、羈押土耳其籍的塔大學生Rumeysa Ozturk，藉以把猶太人追求自由的故事和留學生，移民被拘留的困境連結起來，強調他們的訴求不只是釋放Rumeysa，而是呼籲猶太人社區抵制川普政府的相關政策，推動麻州通過「尊嚴而非驅逐法」，限制地方與ICE合作。

這場逾越節示威由包括 西奈聖殿 (Temple Sinai)、特魯阿人權拉比呼籲組織 (T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights) 及 立即行動波士頓分會 (IfNotNow Boston) 在內的至少12個猶太團體組織發起。

這晚有多位重要人士發言。麻州布魯克蘭鎮貝斯錫安聖殿 (Temple Beth Zion) 的拉比(Rabbi) Claudia Kreiman)強調，以保護猶太人為名來打壓異議，是讓人不可接受的行為。她還分享自己作為移民和以色列人的經歷，同情被拘留者的遭遇。西奈聖殿 (Temple Sinai ) 拉比 Andy Vogel 則強調，猶太社群對這議題有廣泛共識。麻州眾議員 Erika Uyterhoeven也到場聲援。

Boston, MA — A broad coalition of Rabbis, rabbinical students, and leaders of Jewish community organizations addressed a rally of over 400 Boston-area Jews Thursday evening outside Boston City Hall, opposing what they described as the use of antisemitism as a false pretense for attacks on civil liberties by the Trump administration. Speakers and organizers affiliated with Temple Sinai, Temple Beth Zion, Congregation Dorshei Tzedek, Temple Hillel B'nai Torah, Nehar Shalom Community Synagogue, Kavod Boston, Boston Workers Circle, T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, Reform Jews for Justice, the New England Jewish Labor Committee, IfNotNow Boston, and Rabbis for Ceasefire addressed the peaceful demonstration, and called on the broader American Jewish community to join in resisting the Trump administration’s agenda. Banners reading “Safety Through Solidarity, not Authoritarians”, “Jews Say: Free Rumeysa”,  and “Jewish and Palestinian Safety Are Intertwined” were held by attendees, along with signs reading “Jews Against Deportations” and “Jews Say: Not In Our Name.”

Speakers at the rally included State Representative Erika Uyterhoeven, Rabbi Claudia Kreiman of Temple Beth Zion, Rabbi Andy Vogel of Temple Sinai, Rabbi Leora Abelson of Nehar Shalom Community Synagogue, Rabbi Aliza Schwartz of Temple Hillel B’nei Torah, and Rabbi Rebecca Hornstein of Boston Workers Circle, along with several rabbinical students at Hebrew College. The demonstration, which called on the Trump administration to release students detained by ICE, featured  a “Seder in the Streets” coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Passover, with Rabbis speaking to parallels between the traditional story of Jewish liberation and themes of solidarity and support for students and immigrants detained by ICE, Palestinians facing deadly attacks in Gaza, and Israeli hostages held in captivity.

Prominent Boston-area Rabbis, some with diverging views on the war in Gaza, described how they were brought together in shared opposition to the abduction and detention of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk and Columbia students Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Madawi under the Trump administration’s pretense of fighting antisemitism. Local Jewish community leaders rejected the administration’s attempt to silence political opposition and denounced the Trump administration’s assault on the rule of law, freedom of speech, and the independence of the judiciary, warning against the administration’s attempt at an authoritarian takeover. They also spoke to the need to pass laws and take strong action at the state level to prevent the expansion of the detention and deportation machine, advocating for the passage of the Dignity Not Deportations Act, which would limit state and local cooperation with ICE.

“I am an immigrant to this country. I grew up in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship, and I am Israeli,” said Rabbi Claudia Kreiman of Temple Beth Zion, who is also a board member of T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights.  “When I saw the video of Rumeysa Ozturk being taken into custody and handcuffed in Somerville, it didn’t feel like history repeating, it felt like a memory. Silencing and disappearing people in our name does not bring us closer to peace or justice. As an Israeli and a rabbi, I want to say clearly: This is not how we protect Jews or Israelis.”

“It’s clear that a broad cross section of the Jewish community in Boston opposes the arrests and detentions of students,” said Rabbi Andy Vogel of Temple Sinai, “This is a crucial time for all of us as Jews who care about human decency, human dignity, and democratic standards to all stand together. This is a crucial time for Jews who care about the well-being of the Jewish people, and of all peoples, to speak out together.” 

“Arresting and threatening the deportation of university students is not an effective or appropriate response to antisemitism, and it is not wanted by our Jewish communities,” said Rabbi Leora Abelson of Nehar Shalom Community Synagogue and a member of Rabbis for Ceasefire. “As the US government continues to support and enable the Israeli government in their campaign to ethnically cleanse Gaza and annex the West Bank, we call out the detention of activists in the US as a smokescreen for the real threats facing Jews and everyone: authoritarianism, white supremacy, and Christian nationalism. The detention of activists is a deliberate effort to silence our dissent, but we will not be silenced–and coming together in a diverse coalition like this one is an expression of our strength.”

“We know that the Trump administration's cynical weaponization of antisemitism to target activists and immigrants endangers us all, and we will not be fooled into allowing our community to be the face of the administration's assault on civil rights,” said Aron Wander, Rabbinical student at Hebrew College, “As it says in Isaiah 30:3, ‘Refuge with Pharaoh shall result in your shame.’ We know that our freedom and safety is bound up in the liberation of all peoples.”
