Alphabets on the Sand
In Gaza, language is insufficient to describe the magnitude of our loss, but I write anyway.

I went to Germany to speak with both Jews and non-Jewish Germans who are doing the work of bringing memory culture to life — and to learn how Germany's commitment to remember the Holocaust is being strained by the post-Oct. 7 and far-right politics.

We should never forget that this synagogue was targeted specifically because of their work with HIAS on refugee rights. Seven years later, we should honor their legacy by fighting antisemitism, but also by continuing to do the work of supporting refugee resettlement and migrant rights.
Seven years ago today, 11 Jewish people were murdered at the Tree of Life Congregation, a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In their names, we will continue to stand up against hate, bigotry and the rise in antisemitism taking place around the country. May their memories be for a blessing.

My favorite part of this hour-long conversation between a Jewish woman and a Palestinian Israeli woman, members of Standing Together, is at the end when both say:
“Thank you for being authentic — and for triggering me.”
😅 Their deepest feelings don't always match but they are still allies.
