Thank you - this was illuminating. I’ve felt helpless and a bit ignorant (though trying to learn a lot more). Your heartfelt words have resonated with me. I’ve reread it once already. Sending love and comfort and appreciation.
Thank you for writing this, and especially for including resources at the end. It’s a tricky time to be working in Jewish spaces, when even a simply “how are you doing?” is layered with subtext. I know which colleagues I can be completely open with, and one of the rabbis led a productive talk with our faculty group. On the other hand, there are folks I don’t work as closely with who give off a “rah rah IDF” vibe, and parents/congregants are all over the map.

Thank you! I feel so small and helpless, but I’m trying to do what I can to stop this.
I'm so grateful for this, and for you. It said so much I've been trying to articulate.
