The Jew News Review – October 18, 2025 – “On Survival, Healing, and the Quiet Heroism of Care”

Shabbat shalom! And a huge tip of the kippah to the returning hostages and their families and friends!  The images are impossible to forget. The faces of the living hostages stepping back onto Israeli soil, thin, pale, trembling, collapsing into the arms of parents and children who had long stopped believing in miracles. The pureContinue reading “The Jew News Review – October 18, 2025 – “On Survival, Healing, and the Quiet Heroism of Care””

Shabbat shalom! And Chag Passover sameach! There is much discussion and lots written this week about the paradox of Passover.
