I especially like the quote from Rabbi Tarfon, “You are not required to complete the task. Neither are you free to abstain from it.” It’s both reassuring to be reminded it’s not up to me alone to save the world, and it’s also a good reminder for me to do what I can.

Thanks, Steve. You’re right–we must never become silent but sometimes it feels like so weak a response to the craziness around us.

I have shared feelings of hoplesssnes, but still paint and write. The Arts are the heart of freedom of expression. We must never become silent even if we don’t see the impact of our words and vision. Especially to the young. You have been a voice for young women, but your words also reach many others.
