I cannot stop thinking about this @Slate article from Nina Gilden Seavey.

Jordan Palmer of the @StLJewishLight may have summed it up best in an earlier piece on Gilden Seavey's work:

"...St. Louis isn’t just a setting. It might be the plot."

🇮🇱 All 20 living hostages from Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack are home in Israel. Families wept with joy as voices long silent said, “It’s OK, Mom. Don’t worry.” “Bring Them Home” in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square became “Welcome Back Home.” Am Yisrael Chai 💙 https://t.co/k4R6wpXuBh

🥯☕ Only Barrys allowed.

A dozen Jewish St. Louis Barrys gathered for the first-ever Barry Brunch — swapping stories from meeting Golda Meir to being a Viking mascot. Name may have peaked in the 60s, but Barrys are back. 🥂 https://t.co/jlCI2qzlkE

A volunteer at a used book sale found a bookmark of a boy named Nate, likely from
