Honored Sunday to be invited by Needham Muslim Neighbors to participate in an evening of prayer & enjoy Iftar, the meal eaten by Muslims to break their fast after sunset during Ramadan. Great to see & hear Needham students share their knowledge, faith & culture. Ramadan Mubarak!

Such a good article. One of those articles I would say I wish I'd written but knowing I couldn't come close to doing it as well as Lisa Rosenbaum
Thanks.

⁦New York Times Opinion⁩ “Almost one out of every 150 Palestinian children in Gaza have been killed in just two months,” noted Dr. Zaher Sahloul, president of MedGlobal, an aid group working there. “That is the equivalent of half a million American children.” nytimes.com/2023/12/06/opi…

'Wounded child, no surviving family': “Dunya says: 'Today, I lost my leg and my family but I still have dreams. I want to get a prosthetic leg, travel, become a doctor, and for this war to end and our children to live in peace.'' bbc.com/news/world-mid…

The rabbi in my town and I spoke with Daniel Gutekanst about recognizing each other’s humanity, being generous with compassion, and hoping for a future where peace is not a dream but a reality. youtube.com/watch?v=0alSSr…

Yesterday I met with family members of hostages currently in Gaza.

They said: “We can do it all. We can fight for our families held hostage by Hamas, stand against occupation, stand with impacted Israelis, stand up for innocent Palestinians.”

May their humanity be an example.

Cooking helps me reconnect with joy. There’s a beauty to taking different ingredients and creating something amazing. Last night, I made fish kofta from Falastin, a cookbook, and realized how many people in #Gaza would never cook again. Joy became tempered with sadness.

Humans can only survive without water for about 3 days. Gaza has run dry.

The blockade on water, food, and electricity is an indiscriminate, collective punishment and a crime.

It is cruel and unjust. To save millions of people in Gaza - nearly half children - it must end. Now.

“On both sides, the intractable positions of a small group have dragged us into violence. It doesn’t matter who is more cruel or more ruthless. The ideologies of both have fueled this conflict, leading to the deaths of too many innocent civilians.” nytimes.com/2023/10/13/opi…

“Black residents training face ⬆️ rates of both remedial interventions & dismissal from their programs than do their White counterparts. This disproportionality raises concern that Black trainees are being overpoliced in medical education.”
