Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me begin with an acknowledgement of the tremendous human suffering and loss of life resulting from the violence in Israel and Gaza and offer my heartfelt condolences to all those who have been directly or indirectly affected by these horrendous events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact is felt deeply across our community \u2013 one that includes Palestinians and Israelis, as well as people who have family and friends from and in Israel and Gaza. Our community is also made up of individuals of all faiths and backgrounds who have fled war-torn countries, survived violence, lost loved ones to geopolitical conflicts, grew up in families forever marked by intergenerational trauma, struggle with anxiety, depression and PTSD themselves, and have been targets of antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, anti-Arab racism and other forms of hateful discrimination. Their feelings of fear, anger and grief in this moment are real and rooted in lived experiences which we must respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
