Our lives as Jews have changed profoundly since this sacred season last year. Hamas’ murderous rampage, and the subsequent war, has renewed our sense of vulnerability as a people, both in Israel and in the United States. Many of us have never seen or experienced such antisemitism before or been so singled out for our belief or belonging. We have lost friends, colleagues, allies, and our sense of safety. Our fears are real and have been substantiated again and again.
