Where do we go from here? That is the question I am receiving
each day. First and foremost, never lose hope. Then, find an organization that
supports Israel and donate. If you are non-Jewish, reach out to your Jewish
friends to connect and find ways to offers support. Our very fiber of humanity
is kindness in connection.
How do we as Jewish Americans move forward? I must lament
the criticality to never stop sharing of the war, remaining aware of the tragedies,
and while rigorous, never stop living your daily life. The enemy thrive when we
freeze, but we cannot permit the monsters of their ecstasy. Celebrate Judaism triumphantly
each moment and embrace our Judaic joy during war. This is our power to survival.
And while we hold strong, lest the war plummets at our hearts. A turbulence of feeling helpless given the distance. An emotion I understand as my heart weeps for each child and adult murdered ever so barbarically. My brain can only muster so much yet I remind myself; I cannot ignore, I need to continue the fight for Israel, to fight for my people, and find ways to fight for the innocent lives intercepted by war.
This is a time I urge all people to unite. Place anger
with peace, place sadness with hope, and find ways to heal the human soul. So
much has been fractured. I, too, mourn the very moments happening in the East while
conjuring ways procure hope and light amidst the darkness.
Be strong and let your heart take courage.
Hope in Adonai. (Psalm 27:14)
