If you are observing, I wish you a blessed month of renewed focus, devotion, & spiritual growth, combined with easy fasts. Ramadan Mubarak! 🌙

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In a time when antisemitism is again on the rise, we must always remind ourselves of what happens if we don’t work together to bend that curve back down. I have not been to Auschwitz, whose liberation anchors today’s commemoration, but I have been to Majdanek and to Stutthof. I have seen the lasting remnants of evil, and had shivers down my spine listening to the guide describe all-too-familiar details of the conditions that eventually led to the construction of those locations. I’m proud that the legislature is taking steps to combat antisemitism- our Special Commission has issued its report and I look forward to making those recommendations reality, because Never Again is Now.
