Did you know? 🌟 While the Lovers of Valdaro paint a poignant picture of ancient love, they're not alone in history! Across the globe, archaeologists have stumbled upon similar eternal embraces. For instance, in 2013, in the Staryi Tartas village of Russia, a similar set of "embracing skeletons" believed to be around 4,000 years old was discovered. These tales of everlasting love, frozen in time, transcend cultures and centuries. It makes one wonder, while much changes over millennia, perhaps the essence of love remains a constant. So, next time you're in a history museum, remember, history isn't just wars and kings, it's also full of love stories waiting to be retold! 💑🏺🔍 #EternalEmbrace #LoveThroughTheAges

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”
-James Baldwin
For Jews & Muslims who live in America, this is where our friendships, alliances & solidarity are most needed, especially as our communities are tested. Lean in to it despite the pain and discomfort. For our kids sake. For humanity's sake.
We believe that most people from all backgrounds across the world are appalled by Hamas' deliberate murder and abduction of Israeli civilians, and that they are also appalled by the Israeli government's disregard for Palestinian civilian life in its bombing campaign and siege, 6/
If equity and justice are not key components of our "supporting student mental health" approach, we have to ask ourselves which students we mean when we say "student mental health."
To watch death, destruction and devastation reign down on our screens is soul crushing. There are no two sides to humanity. Humanity has no religion, no gender, no sexual orientation, no "both sides"; but propaganda does.
As a Jewish person, I wish I could spend this week grieving and mourning. But the Israeli government is weaponizing our grief to enact a second Nakba, killing thousands and displacing millions. I can make time to grieve while also working to stop ethnic cleansing.

"In mainstream Western traditions, we are subject to the economy like we are subject to the weather. Yet in Indigenous stories, collectively, we are the story—we are the economy. We influence the world, including life sources, all around us, because we are part of the equation...
