What this war is about
On October 7, Israel became the most dangerous country in the world for Jews.
The atrocity Hamas inflicted was literally unbearable
Mary Grossman
From Wyoming to Tel Aviv, in the wake of atrocities
The sadness of the Jewish people is crushing and complex – don’t turn from our
pain too quickly
Raphael Benaroya
The free world should support Israel out of self-interest, not sympathy
The ripples go far beyond the region, burdening US resources and benefiting
adversaries, including Russia and China
Jack Levy
To Tom Friedman and the NY Times: Stop trusting Hamas’s propaganda
When a hospital explodes in Gaza, ask: Who is happy, who is relieved, and who is
upset? (Spoiler alert: It’s Hamas and its partners that benefit)
Douglas Feith
Hamas uses not human shields, but human sacrifice
The terror group engineered the bombing of schools, hospitals, and mosques –
making those who blame Israel for it complicit in the very cruelty they mean to
condemn
Neomit Dekel-Chen
I decided to play dead. My son is still missing
A survivor’s account from Kibbutz Nir Oz, where Hamas terrorists murdered dozens
of residents and took dozens more hostage
David Lehrer
What we have lost
As the nightmare continues, it may be too much to ask that we have sympathy for
innocent Palestinians in Gaza. But I do.
Chavi Feldman
Plans I never thought I’d have to make
At the dinner table. my husband casually announced what we’d do if terrorists
broke into our home. I was incredulous
Tani Frank
Brothers and sisters in the Diaspora: You are a vital part of our strength
In this ’Never Again’ moment, we are defending the right of the Jewish people to
defend themselves wherever they may be
Ariel Beery
Cutting through the noise: Act 2 of the war
5 recommendations, if a ground offensive goes as expected, including: Don’t
waste time on haters and focus on what truly matters (hostages!)
Sherri Mandell
How to build resilience during this war
Yes, even at this devastating time, we can take steps to help us withstand the
pain and emerge stronger and more united
Shayna Goldberg
Holding it all together
We sigh in relief at the quiet, and feel guilty recalling the suffering of
others. We’re engulfed by waves of fear, yet somehow find strength in it

What this war is about
On October 7, Israel became the most dangerous country in the world for Jews.
The atrocity Hamas inflicted was literally unbearable
Mary Grossman
From Wyoming to Tel Aviv, in the wake of atrocities
The sadness of the Jewish people is crushing and complex – don’t turn from our
pain too quickly
Raphael Benaroya
The free world should support Israel out of self-interest, not sympathy
The ripples go far beyond the region, burdening US resources and benefiting
adversaries, including Russia and China
Jack Levy
To Tom Friedman and the NY Times: Stop trusting Hamas’s propaganda
When a hospital explodes in Gaza, ask: Who is happy, who is relieved, and who is
upset? (Spoiler alert: It’s Hamas and its partners that benefit)
Douglas Feith
Hamas uses not human shields, but human sacrifice
The terror group engineered the bombing of schools, hospitals, and mosques –
making those who blame Israel for it complicit in the very cruelty they mean to
condemn
Neomit Dekel-Chen
I decided to play dead. My son is still missing
A survivor’s account from Kibbutz Nir Oz, where Hamas terrorists murdered dozens
of residents and took dozens more hostage
David Lehrer
What we have lost
As the nightmare continues, it may be too much to ask that we have sympathy for
innocent Palestinians in Gaza. But I do.
Chavi Feldman
Plans I never thought I’d have to make
At the dinner table. my husband casually announced what we’d do if terrorists
broke into our home. I was incredulous
Tani Frank
Brothers and sisters in the Diaspora: You are a vital part of our strength
In this ’Never Again’ moment, we are defending the right of the Jewish people to
defend themselves wherever they may be
Ariel Beery
Cutting through the noise: Act 2 of the war
5 recommendations, if a ground offensive goes as expected, including: Don’t
waste time on haters and focus on what truly matters (hostages!)
Sherri Mandell
How to build resilience during this war
Yes, even at this devastating time, we can take steps to help us withstand the
pain and emerge stronger and more united
Shayna Goldberg
Holding it all together
We sigh in relief at the quiet, and feel guilty recalling the suffering of
others. We’re engulfed by waves of fear, yet somehow find strength in it
