Today is Hamas' "Day of Rage"
Today, I have therapy downtown.
Today, I'm wearing my blingiest Magen David.
Today, I am afraid.
I'm afraid, but I won't be made
to hide.
And even if I could hide, why should I?
Why should my lot be any different from that of my
Brothers, sisters and siblings who cannot hide?
Because they are charedi
Or because they live in Re'im
Or a thousand other ways
in which we are separated from the world.
True, maybe it's guilt:
That I'm here in NY,
While so many of my loved ones are still in our homeland.
It probably is, but nevertheless.
I am Re'im.
I am Nova.
I am Kfar Aza.
I'm Tel Aviv.
I'm a Zionist.
I'm an Israeli.
I am a Jew.
הנני.
