Maybe, just maybe, it’s okay
“I’m in survival mode,” she stated angrily. “We all are.” I was honestly expecting that comment. At this time of year, we are being told collectively and individually to repent, and it feels unrealistic. Are we expected to repent for...

(Not so) proudly South African
My beloved country, we always prayed together for a better future. Why are you abandoning your Jews now?
