As parents, we always try to protect our children. We protect them physically by making sure they wear helmets when they ride their bikes, that they don’t climb or go where they shouldn’t, that we hold their hand when they cross the street, and so on. We also try to protect them emotionally – but this one can be harder to do, especially when Israel and the Jewish community are under attack. As much as we try to shield them from what’s going on in the world, we can’t always pretend that everything is okay when it isn’t.

In these moments of utter darkness, when all seems lost, there’s one beacon that refuses to let the light go out: Amudim.

What has America come to when the outcome of a presidential election depends on the endorsement of Taylor Swift? What does liking her music have to do with trusting her opinion  on political issues? And what is the reason Taylor gave for her support of Kamala Harris? Taylor likes candidate Walsh’s position on allowing transgender operations and allowing children, who can’t choose which toy they prefer, to decide their gender. Sadly, for Gen Z, this is enough reason to follow her lead. It feels like the inmates are running the asylum.
