JDA Member and former Lauder Fellow, Alison Comite, is currently in Israel on an educational program. She writes about why she's staying in Israel right now, what life is like for her there, and the importance of supporting one another.
The only thing we know for certain is that we need one another. We need to lean on our mishpacha, our family. We need to check in with our family and friends. We need to make packages for soldiers to show our support. We need to donate to emergency relief funds. We need to attend pro-Israel rallies. We need to come together and unite as one Jewish nation to fight for our lives.
