Such an excellent essay that reflects on how so many of us who are Jewish struggle with this new reality.

I am a Christian who has been scared and unbelieving about the anti-Semitism that has flooded our country. It doesn't make sense to me and makes me ashamed. Ruth has shared her worry in a dynamic and eloquent way. It's so like her!

I have exactly these same thoughts. Then I think, my parents didn't immigrate to this country so that I should be afraid. Nevertheless, these thoughts pop into my head.

You beautifully expressed the ambivalence some of us feel.
