Can you imagine that for 471 days, you never see the sunset or even the sky? And, all of a sudden, on day 472, you can? I hope one of the three hostages released yesterday stepped outside or stood at a hospital window and watched this beautiful sight. May all be free to watch the sunset. It's time.

As we bid farewell to Chanukah 5785, we welcome 2025 and at Judith we celebrate Light in the Darkness. Happy New Year! open.substack.com/pub/judithma...

In Haifa today. The street's empty. No one smiling. Even in this city that has suffered so many attacks, the ceasefire means nothing. Our hostages not home. One storeowner said "even if the hostages were home, Netanyahu has torn apart our country and made it into something we no longer recognize."

It is the ninth day of this terrible time. I am thinking about the children everywhere caught unprotected tonight. Today's poem "Exodus" is by Palestinian poet Taha Muhammad Ali. Written in 1983 from Ali's book, So What, translated by Peter Cole, Yahya Hijazi & Gabriel Levin.

Today is the 8th day of this terrible time. The only hope is for leaders with the imagination to let go of hate and open dialogue. The open, innocent dialogue of children as Israeli poet Ronni Somek describes in his poem "Dream Treaties" tr by Vivian Eden. May there be peace. Amen.

Once again: WAR SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS A SPORT IN WHICH WE WAVE OUR FLAGS AND ROOT FOR OUR TEAM. THE ONLY WINNER IS PEACE. Everyone and everything else loses. Is loss. Is lost.

Today's poem is by the Palestinian poet Samih AI-Qassem, tr. Nazih Kassis It could have been written by a Palestinian or an Israeli. We are two sides of a single hair. It is the duality of this poem that strikes me now. The incomprehensible losses. Please may we know peace.

Today is the sixth day of this terrible time. I bring you a poem by Israeli poet, Yonatan Berg, translated by Joanna Chen. This poem is called "Unity." Can evil bring change, the real change to leadership that we need to make the dream of this poem come true? I pray it will

It is the fourth day of this terrible time and I bring you the poet Almog Behar from the Ars Poetry Group, a group of poets who are Jews from the Arab world, whose first language is Arabic, and who were treated as second-class citizens in Israel.

Today is the third day of this terrible time. I offer today a poem by Mahmoud Darwish from his famous sonnet series. The poem is beautifully translated by Fady Joudah. As I read through this poem I ask myself, is it a love poem or a call for unity and peace? I will let you decide for yourselves.
