Anyone else find themselves weeping in Jewish educ

Anyone else find themselves weeping in Jewish educational environment today ?

The bodies of the precious Bibas boys and their mother were returned to Israel. Since October 7, we’ve all held onto hope that somehow, this would not be the ending. But today, the unimaginable became reality. I sang “The Hope” so many times… we’re devastated.

And yet—our kiddos still show up. Our communities still gather. We still have to teach, to sing, to hold space for little hearts that don’t yet know the full weight of what we carry. Those who sow in tears…?

If you’re feeling this grief in your bones and wondering how to keep showing up, I see you. I am you- Here are two tips I have for navigating this nightmare in a way that is authentic and age appropriate. I hope they help.

Am Yisrael Chai.
