No we are not okay

I found a diary and daily kos that I wanted to share and by a rabbi in New York, that expressed much of what I've been thinking in the last few days, in a much more eloquent fashion than I could.

I have an Israeli friend who is like a brother to me that I've been worried sick about.

Dear Friends,

Please forgive me as I act so boldly as to speak for our collective Jewish community. I am writing in the fear that you may not know what your Jewish friends are currently going through. Surely you have heard the news of violence in Israel and some of you have even been so kind as to express your condolences. In this very lonely time, I cannot thank you enough.

Your Jewish friends and neighbors have spent the weekend in shock, misery and mourning. We are traumatized. Our families are under attack; some are missing and feared dead. Saturday morning began in dread and from there cascaded into frantic WhatsApp texts, panicked calls and constant scrolling through social media. We are not Ok.
