Many things are on my mind and heart right now: Australia, Iran. What am I, an individual, supposed to do in these times? The conclusion I've come to is something is better than nothing. Learn more in this week's post. 

Right now it's Hanukkah. A part of me doesn't want to admit I'm Jewish because of the rise of antisemitism, but then I'm reminded that's a theme of Hanukkah: a small but mighty group defeating an oppressive force. More in this week's post.
