You so beautifully put into words what so many of us are feeling.

I can relate to the ever increasing sense of doom. Fear of something we’ve read so much about but never experienced. Removing, or never putting up Mezuzahs. Telling the kids not to wear Magan Davids.

I think a lot of the positive traits you attribute to being Jewish can be attributed to being human. It’s this talk of being better than that encourages hate towards us.

I’m very confused about why you’d call the police if someone knocked on your door and asked if you were Christian. Yes, I think calling the police would be a tad over the top 😅

Relatable in so many respects! My grandfather also fled to Cuba, from Hungary. I’ll be thinking after reading this about how identify, and what comprises my identity. Thank you.

I am also a child of holocaust survivors and feel very concerned about the state of the world today.
