To my rabbi and dear friend. I am `so sorry you had to go through this although I'm not really surprised especially with what's going on in the world these days. As one of the principal organizers of many of the events you listed, I know that in your days at CBE, we made ourselves a forum for speakers that few American congregations would have hosted. In fact, I usually couldn't even get a response from local synagogues that I reached out to cosponsor. Having not seen the film yet, I don't have an opinion on the merits of it, although I wouldn't be surprised to find that I agreed with some or a lot of it. That's not the point here. It would have been an interesting and useful conversation and might have produced a lot more common ground than these students and faculity[!] can fathom, which is a shame.

Dear Rabbi, Andy, yes, we need to learn how to hold and honor two different narratives. And we need to learn how to speak about both Respectfully and compassionately. Thank you for reminding us. And please, stay safe.
