Where is your heart right now?
At the seder we say, "כָּל דִכְפִין יֵיתֵי וְיֵיכֹל, כָּל דִצְרִיךְ יֵיתֵי וְיִפְסַח"—All who are hungry, let them come and eat. All who are in need, let them come celebrate Passover with us.
As we approach Passover, our hearts are with the hostages and their families--may they be liberated soon and return safely, with the people of Gaza facing desolation & hunger, and with the caregivers everywhere who are holding their children closer with every bomb overhead, and every scare, and every threat.

Iconic feminist cartoonist and comics historian Trina Robbins passed away yesterday. She wrote everything from Wonder Woman and The Powerpuff Girls to "From Girls to Grrrlz: A History of Female Comics from Teens to Zines" and "A Century of Women Cartoonists"—literally writing the history of women`s comics and mentoring the future. Her amazing comic about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was featured on the 1980 cover of Lilith.
May her memory be a blessing.
