My heart aches for Israel and the Israeli people.

The outpouring of support from my community of colleagues and friends online has been imense and very much appreciated.

It’s a tough time for Jews all over. It’s a tough time realizing there is so much hate against a group of people who have been slaughtered and targetted throughout time.

More than 1200 Israelis lost their lives during the Hamas attack. And I fear that number will only grow.

I feel for the innocents in Gaza too. They are truely stuck in a bad situation. Hamas never had their best interests at heart.

I hope the Hamas terrorists will be eradicated and things will calm down.

Yisrael Chia!
