At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, Christina Robles had to close her home child care program just outside Salt Lake City, Utah, and let go of half of her staff.

Genocide, Trauma, and Jewish Identity
Peter Beinart begins Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning—a provocative and incisive book about trauma and Jewish identity after October 7, 2023—with a note to an unnamed former friend whose fanaticism about Israel he’d come to view as unacceptable.
