The articles you share on FB are insightful for this reader. Fact based issues are complex and the long form perceptives are helpful.

Unfortunately, friends and family members, many of whom are part of a lost generation, are stuck in a narrative, and believe horrific results "don't affect me".

They can't add one plus one if you don't mind my veering from the point of your post. They think they're the good Jews. It's the lack of empathy and connection that's most hurtful.

Thank you, Steven. Feeling your pain. Truly. Whether someone agrees with us or not — even those we love deeply — hopefully thoughtful discussions will always find an appreciative audience.

This choir member needs your words for both information and inspiration. The environment we’re dealing with is harsh and complex. I don’t know how we keep going without writers like you. Thank you and please keep doing what you’re doing.

You know I often feel as if I’m preaching to the choir and in an echo chamber. But you are an upstander and your words make a difference. Thank you.

You are a gem and your writing ALWAYS reflects that. Thank you.
