Dear Friends,

Spending the last few days in Israel was profound and powerful in so many ways. Seeing many painful sights, along with so much resilience, hope and determination, leaves one with such a range of emotions and sentiments.

Whether, it was sitting in deep conversations with parents of hostages, visiting and spending time with wounded soldiers, visiting and having long conversations with bereaved families, visiting and uplifting Israel's frontline heroes, speaking with people who haven't been able to return to their homes in 11 months, and so much more, these are all experiences that leave you with one set of emotions.

Vision of Another Kind

Facing the Challenges & Being a Staff

Events over the last few days have been happening at a dizzying pace and have been hard to keep up with on so many levels.

Today I took the time to write to many friends in Israel, in the IDF, residents of the North, Center and South, and Chabad Rabbi friends in places like the Golan Heights, Metullah, serving in the IDF and elsewhere, who we have been helping through our community.

The messages we heard back, were a mixed bag with some sharing their feelings of the current challenges, and others talking about how they balance faith with the realities around them, and others who were full of confidence and determination.

I heard from the Chabad Rabbi in the Golan, who shared with me some details regarding his visit to the Dr… Read More »
