I just got off a Google Meet with a non-Jew who wants to convert to Orthodox Judaism. As much as the media has painted Jews in a terrible light, there are many people out there who see the true beauty of what it means to be a Jew, and they want to join us.

Celebrities wore this pin at the Oscars to call for a ceasefire. The origin of the symbol is from 10/12/2000 when two Israeli’s were murdered in Ramallah because they accidentally drove on the wrong road. These celebs called for an end to violence with a pin soaked in violence.
