Beautiful! I have been pondering, how October 7th changed everything for myself as well. I had never really witnessed antisemitism before—although I’d heard people talk about being called an anti-Jewish racial slur or recount family memories of the Holocaust. I couldn’t imagine what we’re seeing today, October 7 and the incomprehensible global venom. I’ve been trying to find my voice as an ally, a friend. Listening, support, yes, but there must be more I can do. And it’s people like Alissa that give me courage.

Jewish continuity depends on the positive transmission of Jewish values and knowledge of which support for Israel is one of many key components.
fight back against what? The deserved antisemitism you all earned for yourselves.
