There is a glass box in the middle of a town square and it is sound proof but entirely transparent, and inside that glass box I am on display 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am in the glass box and people are standing around me staring at what’s inside. They each have their own reasons. Some are passers-by, wondering why there is a woman in a glass box garnering people’s attention. Some are there for sport, hoping to intimidate me inside the glass box, and to earn social cache for performing some public act of dismay, hacking back saliva and aiming it at one side of the box, denigrating every single aspect of my beautiful Jewish face, throwing paint, and stones, and laughing. Some are there to try and hear what I am saying, but, as I told you, the box is soundproof. I am screaming in the glass box all day, and only those who have the skills to read my lips understand the language I speak and the words I am saying. And even at that, they are often so scared to repeat them.
You are awesome. Thank you. I, too have low tolerance and a low threshold for almost everything and everyone but music, movement and select voices. Yours is one of them. Thank you.
Sending you love from Philly. My friends’ children are being persecuted on their college campuses and I am filled with rage. Trying to figure out what to do. You always remind me that silence is complicity. And totally unacceptable. Love you girl.
Your writing somehow lets me exhale. Maybe because you have this incredible ability paint a picture of your feelings, which helps us understand ours. Thank you.
PS. I wanted to introduce myself and my husband to you at the UN watch/ Hillel Neuer event at Luxe in LA, but you flew out of there like a bat out of hell. 😂 Hopefully, next time. Shabbat shalom. ❤️
"It is not Israel who is stealing Gaza's future. It is Hamas, and it has been Hamas."
Perfect. Absolutely crystal. Too bad that simple truth appears to be too complex to penetrate the dense fog of outright lies and cognitive distortions that have for years been fed to the keffiyeh-clad sheeple now protesting on campus. My only hope is that, sometime in the future, these students will look back and wonder, "What the hell was I thinking?"
I fear our collective anger is making us people we are not; I find myself 100 sure of who I am yet unrecognizable to who I was for 55 years before Oct 6.
If you find yourself in Spain, you have a safe place at my home.
There are many of us who feel the same as you - screaming inside a soundproof glass box is an amazing analogy. You are giving voice to people who knew how they felt but didn't know how to express it. Thank you for that. And it's all so overwhelming that it's hard to know when and how to breathe sometimes. But I have to believe that it will get better because we have been dealing with this for thousands of years and we are still here.
Eve & many others, speak, write and tell the truth. As it has been sung, silence like a cancer grows.
Sending love & healing to all, especially our courageous brothers & sisters in the IDF as they continue their mission against evil. Yes, it is black & white.
I love this substack. It’s so real. Your honesty is much appreciated. I hope it gets out to those who are not entirely indoctrinated. Do you write any poetry on totally abstract subjects? I’d be interested in reading. Thanks for fighting the good fight. 🥊
Don't be downcast Eve. It may not feel like it but your work is heroic and valuable. We gain strength from your passion and your factual knowledge helps us to continue the fight. Truth will prevail!

Everyone sucks
Not everyone

Your work is important. Your message is important. You are important!!!
Wow, sister. I feel this. I feel you.
If you need a Shabbat break in LA let me know. ❤️ seriously. And I’m a solid cook. ;)

Eve, you are helping me to stay sane. Thank you. 🙏💙

We are ha-ivrim: Always standing on the other side from the rest of the world. All together, each alone. You ARE strong and courageous.
Keep it up, Eve. Your contribution will be remembered until the end of time.

I actually have superpowers and can hear what you're saying from inside the glass box and listen to this fucking awesome playlist too.

Just LMK when you call auditions for your bad-ass girl band
