As I am baking your apples (I was struggling with how to have apples when I’m dealing with chemo side effects) and it came at a perfect time and you have expressed perfectly how I was feeling. Thank you.
Thanks for your heartfelt thoughts on this tragedy, Leah, and for comfort food and links to go with it. I just read the Nigel Savage piece and thought it particularly resonant. For me this feels deeply personal, as it does for so many other Jews, even if we live nowhere near Israel. Thanks again for the space to express our thoughts and for your own eloquent ones.
Thank you for writing this Leah. I think "Holding nuance is not being naive, it is planting a stake in the ground for hope over helplessness." might be one of the most powerful things I have read in a long time.
Thank you, Leach, for the best comments I've yet read on the tragedy. I hadn't known of the links you provided; Adamah especially seems worthwhile (and not only because my grandmother, Bella Savage, shares the same last name as Nigel). Keep up the very good work, and I can't wait to read Portico (it's on order at my local bookstore). -Barrie Kerper
Thank you, Leah, for this post and your grace.
Just listened to pod save the world. Thank you for the suggestion.
My pleasure - Pod Save the World and Pod Save America are both stellar podcasts.
Such a good podcast
Thank you for your thoughts and for the helpful links. And baked apples for breakfast sounds like the best thing.
Thanks Julia. And yes, they really are!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts during these difficult and unspeakable violence. The pain is so real.
Thank you Hetty ❤️

Thank you. Wishing you comfort and complete healing.
Thank you Leah for this sane and compassionate post
I felt so hopeless this morning I will follow up on your suggestions
It’s hard not to feel hopeless. I hope you find some comfort in hearing the story from people who prioritize humanity over noise.
What an extraordinarily beautiful post. Thank you for this, Leah.
Thank you Liza
Thank you for this, Leah. (Also, I am making your Mom’s applesauce, I’ve got so many apples :)
Thank you Jolene. And enjoy - it's really wonderful applesauce.
This is beautiful. Thank you.
