"One of the things that I hear people talking about a ton outside of Israel, around anti semitism, is we just learned that the history of Jews is still the history of Jews. That's something we had heard about that sounded like it happened to a different generation, that we were maybe post historical in some way that that's not true the trauma of Jew hatred, right? And so we are trying to change our outlook and our understanding of how the world relates to us and what we need to do to keep our families safe and to move forward. And some people are frozen and reeling. Some people are distancing themselves and trying to suppress their Jewish identity and pass in a lot of situations, as not Jewish, even in their own minds. In some ways, here's what I want everybody to know, resilience is not the lack of emotional experience. It's not a lack of difficult emotions or frustration or anger or sadness or worry. Resilience is the ability to navigate change towards a positive goal."
