Hope is the greatest gift we can pass on. For their sake, I will never stop believing in a better future for our people šā”ļøāØ
Just a note: This isnāt about how many children anyone should have. Every personās path is different, and each family must choose whatās right for them šš«¶
@amanda.markowitz advocacy at Holocaust Museum LA and beyond is shaping a future where standing up to hate isnāt optional, itās essential.
Thank you, Amanda, for your unwavering commitment and tireless work to inspire and empower us all. #EducateToFightHate #HMLAGala #NeverAgainIsNow #HolocaustMuseumLA
The Civil Commission on October 7 Crimes Against Women and Children has published its landmark report: Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled - The Untold Atrocities of October 7 and Against Hostages in Captivity
This report provides the most comprehensive evidentiary account to date of the sexual violence perpetrated on October 7 and against hostages in captivity, revealing not isolated incidents, but a widespread and systematic pattern of abuse across multiple locations and phases of the attacks.
The Commission is led by Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, 2024 Israel Prize laureate and Founder and Chair of the Civil Commission. @thecc07@cochavelkayam
Rachel Goldberg-Polin & Jon Polinās impact reaches far beyond any one level of observance or connection to faith. They have a way of touching something deeply human in all of us and remind us that there is a quiet but undeniable thread that binds us together. No matter where we each stand individually, even in our differences, we have a shared humanity and a shared peoplehood that unites us in the most powerful and profound way.
Some thoughts after a conversation with my friend @mamannonprofit š¤šš
We built this industry at a time when we werenāt allowed in many other spaces and here we are. And sadly, Iām not surprised at all by this comments section and all the comments sections on anything to do with being Jewish.
I had the profound privilege of hearing Rachel Goldberg-Polin speak. Here are just some of the many words she said that touched my heart. Her new book, When We See You Again, is a must read.
@mamannonprofit@theofficialo7c and The Brigade came together at @stephenwisetemple to hear Rachel Goldberg-Polin speak her son Hershās name and share her book. Then a smaller circle gathered with @missmayim to ask: what do we do with what we heard?
A gathering is never just a gathering. Itās where we learn, share, and multiply what weāve been given ā because every person in the room can carry something forward.
A special diamond pendant was gifted to Rachel by @theofficialo7c@stephenwisetemple The Brigade and @mamannonprofit
Deepest thanks to @rabbiyoshi and @stephenwisetemple for partnering and holding the space. To Mayim Biyalik @missmayim for moderating with such care. To @limorgott from The Brigade for helping make this possible. To @sharona4love and Vera Wagman for coordinating, and to volunteers Eleanor Sonbolian, Shirley Benyamin, and Mojgan Binder.
And to every soul ready to carry her message further š¤
