post image

There‘s more I want to share but firstly EVERY person that has reached out to me, to see how I am, to offer support for the pain that was inflicted, to say I pray for your safety and for ALL that are affected- THANK YOU wholeheartedly. Your compassion doesn‘t mean you stand for one side or another side- you are showing up for humanity. And sadly, to those who I thought were my friends, your silence is deafening.

Magpiegem Sending love and strength at this absolutely heartbreaking time ❤️ 13mo
jenniferw88 Sending my 💓 too! 13mo

Anna40 Sending love. How are your friends and family in Israel? How are you holding up? 13mo
Cinfhen Thank you all for taking the time to read my post and offer your words of comfort @Anna40 @CarolynM @youneverarrived @Cupcake12 @julesG @jenniferw88 @Magpiegem As the days pass, and we begin to hear directly from the survivors and their families it‘s really hard to process the world we live in. In 2 days I‘ve attended 2 funerals - for young men, 26 &21. Seeing their friends & families completely gutted, listening to their wails - it‘s a lot. 13mo
Anna40 I‘m so very sorry. My heartfelt condolences. 💕 13mo
Anna40 Please know even if this means nothing now that Israel and the Jewish people are not alone. In the German Bundestag yesterday every politician, even the right wing AFD, condemned the attack for what it is and demanded to freeze any payments to Palestinians which unfortunately go not as they say to schools and hospitals but weapons. Someone left flowers at our local synagogue and the solidarity with Israel event yesterday was packed. 13mo
rockpools Sending so much love to you and yours, Cindy. Thank you for keeping checking in, even with everything. Hugs. 13mo
Cinfhen @Anna40 yes, it does help knowing how much the world is supporting and waking up to the realities- and we are feeling less isolated. It‘s sad that it took an event of such horrific proportions but moving forward we need to remember and do better for our future generations. As always, thank you for reaching out♥️ 13mo
Cinfhen Rachel, I‘m trying so hard to not come across as preaching or being judgmental - I‘m honestly just wanting to share my experiences, as a Jewish wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend currently living in Israel. @rockpools 13mo
Jess Cindy, your post is spot on. The politics are difficult, sure. But I stand for and have compassion for anyone going through this unspeakable tragedy. My heart breaks with every new account that is reported. I‘m so sorry that you have attended two funerals this week. Many hugs. 13mo
Librarybelle Thank you so much for sharing this. I fully admit my knowledge is very thin when it comes to the history of Israel, Palestine, and Gaza. Do you have any books that you recommend to learn a bit more? For me, knowledge is power, and I would really like to learn more. I continue to think of you, your family, and your friends. ❤️ 13mo
Bookwormjillk Cindy thanks for the update. I listened to a good podcast yesterday that basically said it‘s not a political stance to be against terror/weaponized rape/war crimes. It‘s astounding that these things are still happening in this world. My thoughts are with you. I appreciate your updates, and I am so sorry for everything that has happened. 13mo
rockpools @Cinfhen I get that, and that is what‘s coming across. It‘s heartbreaking, horrific and so much more. 13mo
JessClark78 I‘m so sorry for your losses. 💔💔❤️ 13mo
Anna40 I didn‘t know you‘re in Israel. Stay safe 13mo
Megabooks Cindy, I think about and pray for you (and all Israelis) each day!! It is incredibly hard watching so many suffer over there! How are your children? I hate that you have to worry about them as well. God be with you every hour of every day. Any more news from Z‘s old unit? The Psalm you posted on Insta was also the one my mom used for strength when she was battling polio as a kid. May it provide that much strength for you, too. All my love!! 💙🇮🇱 13mo
JenReadsAlot I cannot even imagine the reality of it... the news I have watched is just devastating. Continuing to keep you in my thoughts. 13mo
PathfinderNicole Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers 💙 13mo
MallenNC The first thing I do when I log on here is check your feed. This is all so awful but I hope you keep sharing what you feel comfortable in telling us, if that continues to be something that helps you process. Sending love to you. I am glad you feel supported here on Litsy 13mo
CoffeeAndABook I continue to pray, read as much as I can stomach and talk to people about what‘s happening. I sometimes have to make myself stop agonizing over the fates of the abducted, it‘s just too horrific, it makes me physically ill. I stand with you every bit of the way!! My mom is also sending me palms to help find words of anguished prayer 😔💔✡️ 13mo
IndoorDame I‘m glad to see that you‘re safe. You‘re in my thoughts in all this 💙 13mo
JamieArc 💙🤍💙 13mo
jlhammar You've been in my thoughts, Cindy, and I so appreciate all you've been sharing. 13mo
Simona I‘m so sorry for everything you have been through this week … and yes, silence is painful, and a kind word is not a political stance. 13mo
sarahbarnes 💔💔💔 13mo
Cinfhen @Simona I honestly thought about you today - I thought about Bosnia and Herzegovina and how ignorant I was to the long-held siege. I pray the situation here does not escalate like the terrible Bosnian War. Wars and conflicts never help the innocent people. Thank you friend for keeping me in your thoughts 🩷 (edited) 13mo
CoffeeAndABook Cindy, still thinking and praying for you, for everyone who‘s lost a loved one, is fearing for a loved one, is in captivity. I‘m still devastated. Thinking of the hostages and what they‘re going through at this very moment is making me physically ill. I wish I could do more than send you my thoughts. My mom has also been sending me psalms to put words to anguished prayers 😔💔✡️ 13mo
Ruthiella The situation is heartbreaking. 💔 I am so sorry for you and everyone affected by this awful event. The world feels like it is on fire sometimes with all the hate and violence. 13mo
Cinfhen I‘m truly touched by this outpouring of concern 💜 it‘s really difficult to describe what it feels like to be so near to the violence but far enough away to have a (false) sense of security. We can hear fighter jets, we can feel vibrations from the incoming missiles either being intercepted by the Iron Dome or unfortunately the boom when it lands. Supermarkets are empty, we are being told to prepare bottled water and canned food. 👇🏼 13mo
Cinfhen My parents grew up in America, so they don‘t know what it‘s like to live through a war being fought on home-ground. My youngest son, is nearly 22 - he shouldn‘t have to be attending funerals of his friends, worrying about what his world will look in 3 months/ 6 months. Since Saturday his already lost 7 friends, one friend is missing ( either assumed dead or taken hostage) and several friends are wounded, including one who lost an arm. 👇🏼 13mo
Bklover Cindy, watching the news this morning I was thinking about your son. Still having access to everything happening with his old unit must be excruciating for him. Still here thinking and praying for you all 💔 13mo
Bklover Oh, I didn‘t see your post about him above! I‘m so so sorry. 💔 13mo
Cinfhen He‘s only 21. The youth of our country pay a heavy price. Military service is mandatory for boys and girls post high school. So when people say well it was a solider not a civilian who was killed or taken hostage , yes, technically it‘s true but the soldiers are our sons and daughters - they run to danger as an obligation to defend their country and its people. Heroic boys & girls @Jess @Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk @JessClark78 @JenReadsAlot 👆🏽 13mo
Cinfhen @PathfinderNicole @MallenNC @CoffeeAndABook @IndoorDame @JamieArc @sarahbarnes @Ruthiella @Bklover 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 see all my comments above xx I think I‘m emotionally drained and Litsy truly has become a safe space for me🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 (edited) 13mo
mrp27 Keep posting, keep spreading the word. Keep sharing your stories and your friends stories. Stay strong. Blessings to your son who has to witness such tragedy. 13mo
MaureenMc I‘m grateful Litsy can be a safe space for you. ❤️ Continuing prayers 13mo
TheBookgeekFrau Thinking of you and thankful to be part of this community that gives you a safe place to turn to ❤️🙏🏼 13mo
DGRachel You are right. The silence is deafening and I would like to apologize for my delayed response. I‘m glad you are currently safe and I hope that you continue to be so. 13mo
Cinfhen PLEASE @DGRachel don‘t apologize at all! I wasn‘t trying to make anyone uncomfortable- I think people feel like im not going to bother them, or what good will my heart emoji do ? but the truth is EVERY act of kindness feels SO HUGE right now - and knowing that an entire community stands with you , gives you strength like no other @TheBookgeekFrau @MaureenMc @mrp27 13mo
Cinfhen @Librarybelle I have a book that really helped educate me, but it‘s definitely told from the Israel perspective so I can‘t promise it‘s not a little more sympathetic to the Israeli “side” - but in terms of breaking down history and giving the facts it‘s very clear and accessible. The author is also on IG sharing AMAZING content Noa Tishby (edited) 13mo
Librarybelle Thank you, Cindy! ❤️ 13mo
Deblovestoread Thank you taking the time to post. I‘m still holding you, your loved ones and Israel close. It‘s such a small thing when what you are experiencing is so horrific. 13mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Continued love and prayers to you, your family, and your friends. 🫂💔 and all Israeli people 🇮🇱 please continue to update us. I look for your posts every morning. 13mo
TheBookHippie I logged on to check in on you. Holding you all in my heart. 💙 13mo
Simona That is my hope and pray too … It‘s so easy to be ignorant when the war is in the country for which majority of the people can‘t find it on the map, it‘s sad to see, when after few months, war becomes old news in the news cycle, when the gas price is more important than grieving mothers, raped girls and killed boys/men, it‘s so, so easy to forget that behind every brutal act - a human life remains damaged forever … 13mo
Simona … and that's why it's important to stay vocal. ♥️🙏 13mo
dabbe Thinking and praying about you and all who are affected. 🧡💜🧡 13mo
Gissy Maybe it is hard for others to accept or believe what a person is capable to do, to harm others. But the reality, what we are seeing, is so hard, so terrible, so real😢, I can‘t imagine how you and others who have family there are feeling, there are no words😔💔We are here suffering with those images. This is a difficult time, stay with those who really are supporting you. Receive a big hug and strength in this difficult time💓 13mo
LeahBergen Please keep posting and take good care of yourself, my friend. I‘m thinking of you all day and sending love. ❤️ 13mo
Cinfhen If only more people in this world could be as compassionate as my beautiful tribe of Littens @Gissy @dabbe @TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Deblovestoread I‘ve been on here for 7 years and never have I‘ve felt more proud to be a #booknerd 🤓and yessssss to everything you wrote @Simona people quickly move on and that‘s why Jews always say #NeverForget #NeverAgain when it comes to the Holocaust 😭 13mo
Cinfhen I‘m feeling ya @LeahBergen xxx 13mo
quietlycuriouskate Your son is younger than my daughter. I'd be going out of my mind with anxiety if she were in his shoes. I feel for you both. ❤️ 13mo
dabbe @Cinfhen You spreading the word, voicing the truth as only you can tell it and being a primary source (term used in history classes) for all of us is so profoundly moving and why good must prevail over evil: “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can‘t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death ... ⬇️ 13mo
dabbe “I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again“ (A. Frank, as you well know). ❤️💔💔❤️‍🩹 13mo
Oryx Sending love to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️ 13mo
Cinfhen @dabbe it‘s hard to believe but it was only two weeks ago that I read a memoir written by Anne Frank‘s childhood friend. I was literally sobbing throughout this book, thinking about the depravity and lack of compassion these families had to endure & the ultimate & unimaginable suffering they endured. And now HERE WE ARE. Even with a modern State of Israel, Jews are being dragged out of their homes, tortured in the most horrific ways and 13mo
Cinfhen Honestly @BookwormM I never notice likes but always enjoy and appreciate the more personal interactions. But im touched to know you‘ve been following my situation and holding me in your thoughts. 💙 it‘s true I also feel weird liking such sad or difficult posts - it seems callous in a way even though it‘s clearly not!!! (edited) 13mo
Cinfhen @quietlycuriouskate I‘ve mentioned in other posts but you might have missed - luckily I‘ve been blessed as my son was medically discharged last July 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼At the time he was so distraught about having to leave his unit and end his service time. Now in hindsight it was a blessing in disguise 😇 but the bond of brotherhood amongst these boys is timeless and therefore he‘s remained on their group chats. So on Saturday, some boys 13mo
Cinfhen from his unit were actually on guard duty for Kibbutz Be‘eri. Unfortunately they were completely ambushed and my son was literally learning in real time what was occurring. He kept reading us frantic messages he was seeing but we didn‘t really grasp that this was occurring in dozens of towns around the border. It was very traumatizing 💔 13mo
Cinfhen @Oryx and it‘s felt and appreciated- thank you!!!!! 13mo
marleed Every hour. Every day. I think of you. 13mo
dabbe @Cinfhen 🧡🖤🧡 13mo
RebelReader My sister and I talk almost every day and we talk about what‘s going on over there everyday. We feel saddened that these atrocities keep happening in the world. Why??? I look for your posts everyday so I can see you are still safe. I‘m glad your son is safe too, but it has to be hard also not to be with his unit as well. You continue to be in my prayers. 13mo
TheLudicReader It‘s a travesty what is happening. 💔 13mo
Christine Thank you for continuing to post and share. Sending love and light your way. ❤️ 13mo
sblbooks Thank you for keeping us all updated. My condolences for the loss of your friends. ❤🙏 13mo
BarbaraBB You‘re in my thoughts throughout the day. I can‘t imagine what you are going through. My heart breaks for Z too. And for the parents of these young soldiers. And for all the deceased and their loved ones. It‘s so much. And inhuman. Please keep us posted and stay safe 🩷 13mo
LaraReads I have not checked in on Litsy in a week or as much as I have wanted to recently due to a very hard family situation, but I am sending you love & light and hoping a new dawn brings a small amount of peace your way. Thank you for speaking your heart and letting all of us on here know what is happening with you. 13mo
kspenmoll Thank you so much for staying in touch on Litsy, so that we know you are safe. I think of you so much, your family. and friends as I see images on the heartbreaking daily news. @dabbe quote from Anne Frank is so beautiful and so full of hope in the midst of incredible harrowing tragedy. Cindy, sending you love prayers Light anything I can. I have also shared your story and some of your posts with my husband and friends that are not on Litsy. (edited) 13mo
Chelsea.Poole I, too, have shared your personal stories with my friends and family. Thank you for sharing with us. Thinking of you with the ongoing atrocities. 13mo
britt_brooke Please keep sharing, my friend. Sending love and hugs. 13mo
dabbe @kspenmoll So have I! I think spreading the word and truth is one way to fulfill the hope expressed by Anne all those years ago. ❤️ Keep spreading the word, @Cinfen. 💜💜💜 13mo
TheBookHippie @Cinfhen I read that book too and in my town before we left I once again visited Tova one of the youngest Holocaust survivors she cannot sleep … 13mo
Megabooks I‘m up in the night (as you know I am want to do) and I wait each day for an update praying feverishly for your situation. I know it is hard for us to understand what you‘re going through, but I am so happy you are finding empathy and support here. Like @BarbaraBB expressed, you (and M, E, Z, and A too) are never far from my mind! 13mo
Cinfhen @LaraReads I‘m so sorry you are facing your own personal difficulties. I pray you will find peace and comfort too. I appreciate your taking time to check in 🩵 I realize we all are facing hardships - how special that we can all come together and say - I have you in my thoughts - this is what the world should be @Megabooks @dabbe @britt_brooke @Chelsea.Poole @kspenmoll @BarbaraBB @sblbooks @christine 13mo
Cinfhen Please see above and know how much your thoughts mean to me and my family - I‘m letting them know how much this community cares @marleed @RebelReader @TheLudicReader 💜🕊️ 13mo
Cinfhen @TheBookHippie WOW! I can‘t believe you know Tova. How I ache for her heartbreak to see what is happening. I will 💯 listen to her book, once my headspace allows for it. Hope you‘re finding peace and an escape from all the maddening, Christine 13mo
Centique Thank you for taking the time to teach us here as well as reach out with the news from the front line. I am gutted for your son to have lost friends and for all those families 😢 Know that you are in my prayers and always will be 💕 13mo
Caroline2 My heart is with you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to explain things like this, I find it really helpful to understand. My heart is broken for everyone in Israel right now, it is horrific what you are all going through. 13mo
BarbaraTheBibliophage My heart is with you and your family, Cindy. Always. 💙🤍💙🤍 13mo
TheBookHippie @Cinfhen Tova is a fun story I‘ll share it sometime. She is travelling around talking to colleges sharing her truth which she will not stop doing unless she truly cannot. She‘s 85 now. 13mo
Suet624 Much love to you and yours... 13mo
Cortg I‘m so sorry this is happening. I check on your posts regularly and I‘m praying for your safety, your family‘s safety and your friends safety and strength. ❤️ 13mo
CSeydel I am glad you are safe. I‘m so frustrated trying to explain the long history of this situation to my college-age daughter who is picking up a lot of garbage from social media. I hope you don‘t mind I sent her a screenshot of your statement because it‘s so clear and well written. 13mo
Cinfhen PLEASE share @CSeydel I am SO sick and saddened over the hatred and garbage that is being fed to our college age kids. SO MUCH MISINFORMATION!!!! And LIES!!!!! It‘s truly terrifying what they believe 😭😭😭😭 13mo
Cinfhen Thanks my dear friends, my heart is full of appreciation @Centique @Caroline2 @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Suet624 @Cortg and every message you post gives me strength and hope 🙏🏼 13mo
CSeydel Me too 😢 13mo
dariazeoli Still thinking of you, Cindy, & hoping you stay safe. Social media is really difficult to disseminate this week and it‘s hard to get up to speed on something you‘re so uneducated on when there‘s so much noise out there. I‘ll strive to educate myself better while I hold compassion for everyone Hamas is victimizing for their hateful ideology and mission statement. Misinformation and lies are what keep this evil alive. It‘s up to is to keep it at bay 13mo
CBee Cindy, I decided I needed to educate myself and am currently listening to this on audio: 13mo
CBee It‘s really good so far, plenty of history but also interspersed with her family‘s history and a bit about her own life. I know she‘s been constantly updating on IG as well and I followed her there. Still sending you all so much love ❤️ @Cinfhen 13mo
Cinfhen You are SO RIGHT @dariazeoli lies and misinformation are another enemy the world needs to fight. I get it. It‘s so hard to dismantle it all and it‘s hard not to think about the innocent people who live under Hamas rule, who have been indoctrinated with so much hate and lies. (edited) 13mo
Cinfhen @CBee I found Noa‘s book REALLY helpful & insightful. And she‘s been outstanding on IG & other social media platforms providing context & content. THANK YOU for WANTING to know more and learn more. Education is a powerful weapon! 13mo
CBee @Cinfhen ❤️❤️ 13mo

Thanks for the tags, @TheSpineView and @Cupcake12. Been battling a cold all day and am finally doing some fun stuff! 🤗
1. Once, for my 16th birthday. I was mortified. #neveragain
2. I enjoy plot surprises if I do not have to suspend my disbelief even more than I probably already have. If that happens, then I feel cheated. The plot, however out there, has to be believable on some human level. Or not? Any other thoughts? 🤗

A history of 1 family lost at Auschwitz whose names show up on a postcard to their loved ones.
In honor of Yom Hashoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day I‘m reading (ch.4 so far) the upcoming book The Postcard.
We can‘t forget the 6 million people who died due to hatred. The holocaust is near & dear to my heart & this book is reinforcing the need to remember those who were victims of that hated & never forget & fight against this ever happening again.

RowReads1 I‘m looking forward to reading that one. 2y

I still remember years ago when we did a lockdown drill at the preschool where I work. My two year olds had just got done hiding and being very quiet. They thought it was such a fun game and told a visitor that we had at the school that day all about it. They were so excited to tell them about how they hide. It broke my heart. They have no idea the danger they are going to face by going to school. We have to do better. #neveragain

AmyG My daughter told me about the lockdown drills. Just heartbreaking that this is the world we live in. 4y
Lovesbooks87 @AmyG never did I think I would be doing this especially in a preschool sitting. But I guess with the way today‘s world is you just don‘t know if danger will ever come knocking at your door. 4y

“I know I‘m not talented like James Michener...but I have stories to tell. And I must, because I am a survivor, and if I do not write them, who will?” 💔#Truth #WeRemember #NeverAgain This book is so good. Thanks for putting it back on my #ReadersRadar @tpixie Fits multiple challenges too!!!

Cinfhen I‘m very much enjoying this beautiful testament to your family @Erynecki and the art work is so emotionally inspiring. I visited Poland last year as part of a Jewish Heritage trip and I see through your great grandfather‘s work the streets and scenes I imagined daily. 4y
