Reflections on October 7th
The speaker recounts personal experiences on October 7th, emphasizing the shocking nature of the events in Israel. Initial perceptions framed the situation as a routine skirmish, reminiscent of previous conflicts, but soon escalated into a full-blown war, catching many by surprise. The urgency of the crisis was underscored by conversations with family in Israel, particularly a sister who described alarming scenes during synagogue services, where worship was abruptly ceased due to rocket alerts.
