It was around midnight when the sirens began. I was already standing by the safe room door, barefoot, heart racing, waiting for our children and grandchildren to rush in. The boom of Iron Dome intercepts overhead. The hush of a city bracing for impact. The surreal silence that follows. And then my phone rang. Israeli air defence systems are activated to intercept Iranian missiles over the Israeli city of Tel Aviv early on June 18, 2025. It was my son. He’s 21. A combat soldier.

Nearly two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, communal life was starting to return to normal. In the wake of the hostage-taking incident at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, a month prior, antisemitism was still a major concern, but it was still far from the level seen today.

In the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre in Israel, many Jews in the United States reported not only grief over the attack itself, but also from the chilling silence from many of their peers, institutions and even their therapists.
