How do you feel? The news cycle feels like a tornado that sweeps us all. But there are two things I think about what’s happening here in the United States (and share your thoughts in opinion).

MichaelsonIn his newsletter, rabbi, activists and former professors Both/and. “They promised that they would ‘shock and awe,’ and that was what they did. There is nothing surprising here. Do not lose your evaluation. ” We will stand firmly.
