Greetings All:
This year’s Passover-related, “Happy Holiday” greetings were eclipsed by the realization we’re living in particularly dark and unhappy times. It’s not enough that Israel was thrown on its heels in October 2023. To add further insult to the egregious injury, support for Hamas and cascading antisemitism is on full display at some of our nation’s best universities—rendering them unsafe for Jews. It all leaves me with a sour feeling.
Proud and defiant, even amidst these turbulent times, in our communities we openly and boldly celebrate the fact we are Jewish, and that Yeshua was and is Jewish. Thankfully, scores of non-Jewish friends unite with us, declare the above and attest that they, too, love Jewish people, love Jewish literature, and love Jewish real estate (Israel). My community’s commitment lifts my spirits. There are various ways people demonstrate their commitments, for example: through presence and presents.
