    The inquisition is gone, the narratives have changed, and so much remains the same. I don’t have anything else right now. I hope everyone is doing okay in their own way.

    There is a Passover song, “Zog, Maran”, which is structured as a conversation between an Ashkenazi Jew and a Sephardi Jew celebrating under the fear of persecution and murder. It ends: “And what if your foe should find you?” “Then we will die singing”
