Los Angeles Rabbi Sharon Brous: Since Oct. 7, “many American Jews … understand themselves differently. There are people who have never stepped foot in a synagogue and who would never take their family vacation to Israel, who … are talking about being a part of this people in a way that even takes them by surprise. We have been changed by this moment.”

That describes how I’m thinking and feeling.

I’ve thought about this interview often and was surprised to see just now that it aired Nov. 17. So long ago? Can that be right?
