Come and write with us this week…

Today is going to be hard. The anniversary of the 7 October attack is being marked in my communities and beyond in a number of ways; my personal promise to myself on top of those is to only do what I believe is part of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. Sending this out at all as if this were a perfectly normal Monday felt wrong at first, until I realised how right and necessary carrying on is; that choosing showing up as ourselves, rather than fear of doing so, is always the road worth taking. I hope my being here helps someone be themselves. That’s why I’m here. So, I keep writing.
