We had scheduled topic:

The on how the "world that was" and the continued neglect of health,
disparities, racial inequity, and challenges in access to care.
This topic of consideration was accelerated when COVID happen and yet we are in beginning to pretend that COVID didn’t happen and the struggle of many Americans to have equal voice in health equity is now forgotten.

But due to this horrendous atrocity that has unfolded last weekend and with my good friend Gil Bashe, I thought he could be the best voice to share more on his blog commention: "No. Your Jewish friends are not ok." Gil will share from his heart, as a Jew. May this discussion lead to better understand, clarity, peace, hope and healing. Prayers to all those suffering.
