Deputy Editor of Fathom Calev Ben-Dor shares reflections from Jerusalem after six hostages are executed by Hamas. “There have been many days since October where the contours of the journey from grief to hope have lacked clarity and direction. But Monday, Day 331, was one of the worst.”It’s Monday September 2, Day 331, and this level of unbridled rage, anger and frustration in the air hasn’t been felt for months.

Andrés Spokoiny is the President and CEO of the Jewish Funders Network. There was a time, not long ago, when societies built their stories around heroes.
