This is 74 year old Canadian Israeli Peace activist Vivian Silver.

Silver dedicated her life to promoting peace. she co-founded Women Wage Peace, an interfaith grassroots organization, and was a board member of the human rights organization "Bzelem". she volunteered in "On the Way to Recovery," accompanying cancer patients from the Gaza Strip to hospitals in Israel. she was co-CEO at Ajik - an Arab-Jewish organization working since 2000 to support Bedouin society in the Negev and promote shared life for Arabs and Jews throughout the country.

When asked about her aspirations for the future of her grandchildren, she said, "May they have Arab friends, Palestinians. May they not be afraid."

On October 4th 2023, Silver helped to organize a peace rally in Jerusalem which attracted 1,500 Israeli and Palestinian women.

The last connection with her was on the morning of october 7th, when she hid in a closet and texted her son. she wrote "well, the terrorists are in my house". he wrote "i'm on your side". "i feel you" she answered.

She was believed to be kidnapped, but today, 38 days later, her body was identified.

May this kind soul rest in peace. The mind can't comprehend that this was her fate. Thank you for everything you did. May we will get to witness something of your aspirations come true in our lifetime.

Okay so I've noticed that every convert I know used to be catholic so I'm curious to see if it's just a coincidence or if there is a catholic to jewish pipeline.

Please only vote if you've either converted to Judaism or are in the process of converting.

ngl something that's hard to do as a deep in the depths of poverty rural American is keep Kosher. There are no kosher options in the 4 restaurants we have in town lmfao, and while we do our best not to buy pork sometimes it's the only meat that's affordable or available at the food pantry

acrylic paint…. my nemesis….

The fact that Jews cannot mourn our dead on the anniversary of their deaths, and instead must be met with Pro-Palestinians mocking it, should say all we need to know.

literalllly “i would have hidden you during the holocaust” ok but iirc the number of righteous german gentiles is under 1000. ditch your hero complex and recognize you are not immune to being antisemitic and antisemitism is so much more deeply ingrained in western culture than you think.

I’m starting to think 90% of the internet would’ve snitched on people hiding Jews during WWII
