You have my prayers. I hope you are not currently in danger here in Indiana. That would be a new low for this state.I stopped posting in this thread a while back, but I wanted to pop back in and sincerely thank everyone who has been praying.
If it’s not too much to ask, please keep our Jewish brothers and sisters elsewhere in the world and in the US in your prayers as well, its getting uglier by the minute out there and we need all the help we can get.

LG, you, your family and all impacted by this are in my prayers. I hope that "Never Again" remains just that, but there are those that are trying it again.This type of image has taken over the family group chat, I have never seen the Manhattan side of my family so nervous. The messaging has taken on a decidedly dark and skeptical tone recently. My grandmother doesn’t want the kids to walk to Temple alone or ride the bus to school because it makes them too identifiably Jewish.
This is the same woman who used to send me to the butcher in Brooklyn by myself…in the 80’s…in my Star of David yarmulke.
The messaging I get from the Israeli side of my family is oddly calm and reassuring by comparison…they have a war to win, and they fully intend to win it.
Please tell them to arm themselves, and not be a victim to these Nazis.This type of image has taken over the family group chat, I have never seen the Manhattan side of my family so nervous.

I’m shock at what the non-jewish community is willing to tolerate before they are willing to physically take charge of their communities and protect the Jewish community as they should.@LeftyGunner
If it is any consolation, know that I have been utterly shocked by the treatment, marking, and abuse of Jewish residents of the USA. I did not believe I would ever see people homes or businesses marked in such a way, and I find it shocking and disgusting.
You and your family remain in my prayers.
I will offer a prayer of refuge and support here for you and your Jewish brothers and sisters. Dark times are ahead. I will pray for the coming of the light.I stopped posting in this thread a while back, but I wanted to pop back in and sincerely thank everyone who has been praying.

If it ever comes to the point you need refuge you, and your family are welcome at my place.@LeftyGunner

Imo,Please tell them to arm themselves, and not be a victim to these Nazis.
I believe even in New York they definitely would qualify for a carry permit.
My grandfather fought against them (nazis) as a combat engineer. He had no love lost for these types of people.
Why are highly intelligent people promoting the massacre that Hamas did Oct 7th? Why are university staff, and students siding with these reprobates?
Is there some kind of 4th Reich rising throughout Europe? It's really getting insane in Germany, France, and UK.
It was Arthur Carlson who thought they could fly. Nessman just described the result.Hopefully they won't be expected to fly the way Les Nessman thought turkeys could on WKRP!
I’m obviously not a lefty but you and your family are welcome in my home anytime. I know it sounds hollow but it’s not meant to be. We can disagree and still like each other which is how my family rolls. I pray for the safety of your family. I’ve never been able to wrap my head around the hatred for the Jewish faith. What I do know, is there are people hell bent on killing all Jews and then the great satan which is the U.S. Were all the same team here.Thanks, DS...I mean it.
No one from our congregation has reported any, uh…shenanigans locally, so I’m not worried about by personal safety.
I do worry about the kids back east, though...the “pro-Palestine“ crowd doesn‘t seem to be above targeting kids, even on US soil.
