"Every day there are new questions: What does it mean to raise a black
Jewish daughter in the age of Trump? How do we keep her safe? How do we
give her a Judaism that will embrace and love her?"

"The day neo-Nazis marched in Charlottesville, was the day I stopped
recognizing the path America was on. We were never a perfect place: I’d
been in a driving-while-black incident with my husband and I had had a
swastika drawn on my synagogue as a child. But before Charlottesville I
believed we were on the path to justice and I believed in the American
dream and I naively dove into a life more perilous than the one I was
born into by becoming the sole inhabitant of white privilege in my home.
Despite it all, I would dive all over again. I love my family."
