“Seeking an impossible calm, we bed / down our gardens for the winter, / wishing we too could sleep soundly.”

“I take it off when I get to the parking lot / and hide my Star of David, / cover my Hebrew tattoo…”

“I invited those who won’t speak up for me now…”

“I’m teaching to prepare you. / But for what exactly? / To hide, to fight, to run away or die?”

“Every song / a protest, ready to transform.”

“What things do you have planned? Do you march with torches? Do you scream out for our death?”

A short reading of gratitude for those who support the Jewish people.

A prayer for understanding when faced with antisemitism

“A cemetery twice desecrated / A people the world long forgot”

“We are beautiful. / We are beloved. / We are worthy of life.”
