A platform flagged a comment today as “Potential Harassment” and I am still laughing at the word potential. The comment was “go home murderer.” Directed at a Hebrew language teacher. Because I am Jewish and I exist online.
My husband removes these every single day without me asking. This is just our life. And I want everyone reading this Jewish and non Jewish to really think about who sends something like this. What that emptiness looks like. What drives a person to spend their morning hunting down a Hebrew teacher on Social Media to say this.
I feel sorry for them. And then I teach Hebrew anyway. Every single day. Because showing up is the resistance and I have no intention of stopping.
I wrote about what this life really looks like from the inside. It is the most personal thing I have published and my husband’s voice in it will stay with you.
