Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holy of holies of Jewish time. It is that rarest of phenomena, a Jewish festival without food.

Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good.
I say let’s go back to a truer use of the word ‘freedom.’ Let’s start with President Franklin Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today.
We talked about the Internet and Wikipedia and how facts and history are being collectively created online.

Most of the time in America, we’re surrounded by oppressive inequality such that the wealthiest 1 percent collectively own substantially more than the bottom 90 percent. One escape from that is America’s wild places.

I look at the group I’ve got and then I decide what strengths and weaknesses they have and then I formulate an appropriate way the players can work in order to be collectively successful.
We’re dealing with men here. What we’re trying to do is help them become the best players they can be, and we’re all collectively trying to win games. So what I always tell people is that the way you earn these players’ respect is, do you make them a better football player?
Everybody in comedy has something like that happen to them: They bomb, or no one shows up. You’re like, ‘Hey, I’m funny, trust me!’ And the world collectively goes, ‘Yeah, you and everybody else.’
I’ve learned that it’s often the less obvious, yet pervasive and questionable, everyday behaviors of men in our industry that collectively make it inhospitable for women.
In a peer network, no one is officially in charge. It doesn’t have a command hierarchy. It doesn’t have a boss. So, all the decisions are somehow made collectively. The control of the system is in the hands of everyone who is a part of it.

Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.
You know, if you love something, you should love it regardless of whether it costs five dollars or 500 or 5,000 dollars. Unfortunately, that’s not the way our culture works, and we do collectively buy into this idea that things that are more expensive probably have more value.
For me, Islam is a moral reference point, a source of inspiration to work collectively with people, to love people and to help them, to concentrate on universal values of mercy, co-operation and tolerance.
‘We Are the Champions’ is meant to be ‘we,’ as in ‘all of us,’ collectively, not us the band. It’s a shame that some people understandably had the wrong take on that. ‘No time for losers’ is not the kindest line, but it’s really more of a ‘we all of us.’ It’s a celebration.
I think, collectively, we should be paying more attention to what is going on around us in the world among people who don’t have the advantages that we have.

I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms, so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it.
My goal is always to improve what has been done the previous season and also collectively seek to do better than the year past.
I’m a culture guy. I sort of know all the familiar ingredients to get something going. Once everyone starts to buy in collectively, then that culture can start being built.
All things being equal, letting people make decisions for themselves will produce smarter outcomes, collectively, than relying on government planners.
Every player has their challenge to help the team. They all have a challenge individually and collectively to improve.
The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: ‘How do we live?’
I’ll tell you sort of an odd story: My music taste changed on 9/11. And it’s very strange. I actually intellectually find this very curious. But on 9/11, I didn’t like how rock music responded. And country music collectively, the way they responded, it resonated with me.
We can either continue to collectively stand on the sidelines and debate what is causing autism and if it is an epidemic or we can get on the field and start addressing the real problem – a generation of children with autism. We are not focusing enough on prevention, treatments and support services.

I always seem to have a good time when I’m interviewed. I really enjoy the whole process of meeting another person and having that exchange, but you know, if I’d read all my press collectively, I know I’d just say, ‘Well, I don’t think I’ll ever be interviewed again, thanks very much!’
If we collectively set our minds to improving technology of a particular type we can do that, and it takes some collective action, some support for research, or some provision of patent protection, or a mixture of the two, and some focussed energy.
