With the High Holidays now upon us and the first yahrzeit of October 7th just around the corner, many of us are preparing to enter difficult, and often uncomfortable, conversations — whether it be at home, school, or work.

They shared: “At the conference we wanted to do what we hope to do in our writing, which is to name what is real and challenging before us, and to go toward it with nuance and curiosity, to the best of our ability.“
