I feel like this is important to share. We've got enough hate in this world; let's try to see people for who they are, as opposed to where they came from.

Fight Like Zel
When the President of a democracy says, "I don't need a ride, I need ammo.", it speaks to his character. Essentially, he doesn't have to stay behind, but he has. The bravery and commitment is admirable. Historically, Kings would go into battle. Sometimes they'd die in battle, but they still fought for their beliefs and … Continue reading Fight Like Zel
Grieving… It’s A Process
“Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain.I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rushOf beautiful birds … Continue reading Grieving… It’s A Process
Mood For 2022
This is me every year, for the most part. I'd say less than five percent of my personal life is shared here, but it may seem like more to some people.

I tore apart all the normal places I keep my documents which require immediate or semi-immediate attention, versus the one's … Continue reading Migraine Destruction and Searching For Calm

These are not emotions conducive to writing the truth. It requires me to take a step back, work on healing, and then move … Continue reading Wordless
I Stand Against Antisemitism
I challenge you to stand by me while I Stand Against Antisemitism. I firmly suspect you will not support me at all, and I am good with that. I've seen everyone's truth. Don't like my stance? That's fine. I don't like Anti-Semitic hate. Am Yisrael Chai. Images credited to marked organizations/individuals
Another Day, Another Synagogue
I write this as the hostage situation in Colleyville, Texas, which I have been following since this morning, when the BBC sent a notification to my phone, has come to an end. Thank G-d every hostage, including the Rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel, are alive and safe. Let me be clear when I say that … Continue reading Another Day, Another Synagogue
