It is Still 10/7/23

Lynn & Tony Know

What if confronting trauma could lead to greater resilience? This episode commemorates the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel, a day etched in memory for its heartbreak and chaos. We recount the personal stories of survivors and those affected by the ongoing violence, including the recent missile attack from Iran. Through these narratives, we grapple with the emotional aftermath and the public's challenging responses, while urging listeners to critically evaluate the sources of their information amidst a polarized media landscape.
Join us as we navigate the intricate web of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a deeply personal perspective. Growing up in Israel and engaging with Palestinian peers, we have faced backlash and threats for vocalizing support for Israel's right to exist. This episode tackles the misconceptions surrounding the conflict, emphasizing that it's against organizations, not individuals. We highlight the importance of fostering a nuanced understanding of the Middle Eastern political landscape, and the personal toll of advocating for peace in a world riddled with misinformation.
Reflecting on Jewish identity and the resilience required to thrive amid adversity, we delve into the complexities of navigating trauma and trust issues. The constant uncertainty has altered relationships and perspectives, making self-reliance and routine critical anchors. Despite the challenges, there is a hopeful belief in the wisdom gained, and a readiness to embrace a redefined sense of normalcy. As we look towards the future, we aim to balance serious themes with lighter content, maintaining authenticity while offering hope and resilience as we face whatever comes next.
