I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.
I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
