On this somber day of Yom Kippur a day of reflection, it is against the backdrop of abandoning our allies. Today as I join along with other Jews to attend Yizkor services to remember loved ones lost, I am mourning the betrayal and loss of life of our Kurdish allies today, as bombs are dropping even as you read this.
On a day of deep personal introspection examining the moral quality of our values and actions, I am deeply ashamed that in our name our president and his party have abandoned a friend to whom we gave our word to help.
On this day of atonement, I feel shame. And despair.

Inherited Dreams
Though it would be my parents generation, those who lived through the Great Depression and later rolled up their collective sleeves, pitched in and sacrificed for the greater good in their fight against tyranny-who would be knighted by Tom Brokaw

Introduction
For over half a century, Americans soaring confidence had always promised a sugar-frosted future filled with frost free fun and abundance and economic prosperity. But that Buoyant bubble of optimism has since gone bust. Along with our jobs, retirement funds

Envisioning The American Dream 
It was a given, though Trump apparently is unaware of the enmity Turks have for Kurds. A tragedy in the making, a new Turk-generated genocide, I fear….

Think of the Turks horrendous history with the Armenians

Definitely a tragic and horrific response to an ethnic minority, so much so that the Turks haven’t ever owned up to what they did.
