Purim

      Society these days is so messed up. The only true binary is men and women and yet somehow that has become contraversial  yet with other things there can only be one derech otherwise one gets shut down or cancelled Only one way to look at covid 19.. If one doesn't have the same point of view as the special people decree then people don't even consider your opinion . Makes me feel like I'm living in the twilight zone. And all this has been going on before October 7.

    The saddest part of the post October 7 world is that it didn't surprise me, I just was hoping it wouldn't reach this place. . I am most confused by those who are trending onto the pro Hamas train. At first I thought they glommed on because they hate or are indifferent to Jews, and  actually knew what they were rallying for. I thought the university had taught them the why . Now I realize that they are brainwashed but don't really know what it is they are participating in. I keep waiting for the trend to pass. I wish that I could explain to them what is really going on. I try to enlighten those I know who are open to hearing the truth. 

     The demonstrations of hate feel like a gut punch . Though there are fewer pro Israel rallies  they are all the more powerful. They bring me hope. As much as I am disturbed by the destruction and the hate of the other side, when I see the humanity of the Jewish people and our allies I realize that though its a tough fight I know that I am on the right side and I am proud of us. Despite my trepidation I see that we are standing our ground. We are supporting each other . I see celebrities who were always known as public Jews really stand up for Israel in a way even they may not have thought was possible. I had read an internet troll comment who was annoyed by all of the "C" list celebrities who are speaking up for Israel . I smiled.. This is why it is the most awesome. They are out there shining in the most important way possible . I am so impressed with their sincerity and it helps keeps my spirits up to follow them. 

      I am ready for Purim to come and for an end to this war and a victory for the Jewish people. and for the road to a return to a new normal that actually is normal.
