In Search of Light

My apologies; it's been a while since I wrote a newsletter.

The war in Israel has definitely taken a toll on me, and I have lacked the clarity of thought and presence of mind to write regularly, so I took a bit of a break and focused on coping with daily life as the war progressed.

As the days have become shorter and darker, and Hanukkah, the holiday of lights, is approaching, I decided to write some of my thoughts about what it has been like living in Israel through these difficult times and how I feel the need to seek out light and hope going forward.

I'd like to thank Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer for reaching out and inviting me to share these thoughts in my article "In Search of Light: A Dispatch from Israel" in the Jewish Disability Inclusion News (JDIN).

Click on the link to read it on Substack, and along the way, I recommend you check out the JDIN and sign up for their newsletter!

Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful holiday season!
