Dear Leore,

What you wrote is beautifully expressed and is also how I feel about the tragedy of October 7. Again, the world blames the Jews who would like a safe place to live and thrive. Having people you considered friends defending Hamas is so disheartening.

Your words brought tears to my eyes. Although I did not grow up in Israel nor do I have relatives living there, it is the home of my people, and I feel a strong connection to its right to exist.

Stay strong. Sending hugs,

Cindy Kestenbaum

Thank you so much. Yes. Your words remind me of a recent interview I watched of Leonard Cohen where he says Israel isn't a luxury. It is a necessity. One place in the world ensuring Jews have a safe place to live and are protected. May we see better days ahead.
