When a BIG 5 five, big, big editor says "So, I think there’s something here," you celebrate.
Still a lot of takeaways & opportunities to work through, but i'll take it!
Big thank you to @BrianGehrlein for the connection!
...how many more times can I say "big" in this tweet?

A snowy day in Chicago means baking challah and reading picture books.

@cmsimon18 I am so sorry. I am so sad things like this happen. I am glad everyone is safe, and I hope they can rebuild 💜🙏🏻

Another antisemitic attack, this time in my hometown, in the beautiful synagogue I got married in. Absolutely heartbroken but also grateful that everyone is safe.

Rabbi Arianna Gordon, director of education at Temple Israel, says the synagogue had a security training just last month. "We are fully aware of what the world looks like today for the Jewish community."

I am praying for our Jewish brothers and sisters.
You are not alone, we stand with you. We will continue to fight hard against the poisons of antisemitism alongside you.
My heart bleeds for the Jewish community and the evil hatred that is engulfing our country so fast.
