Earlier this week we memorialized the victims of October 7th, both on Simchas Torah, the Jewish date, and on the Gregorian calendar, the secular date. I had the honor of praying at the memorial in Helena organized by Montana Senate President Matt Regier, and attended by Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras, Israel’s Deputy Consul General to the Pacific Northwest Maya Avishai and many legislators and locals. Yet, as we pondered the barbarity and inhumanity of Hamas, there were those here in the United States who stood publicly with Hamas and in support of their terror; it baffles the mind, but it’s a sad reality. Shoshana was really bothered by the handful of students at MSU who were supporting terror against Israel, and we had a few healthy conversations about free speech and the evil that exists in our midst.
