Dear Client,
I hope this email finds you well 🌼. As many of you know, my ties to Israel run deep. I have more family in Israel than here in the US. Given the recent troubling events in the Middle East, I am compelled to share my concerns and offer some insight into the situation, especially as some of you might have faced similar adversities in the past.
The Situation at Hand:
Hamas, known for its terrorist activities, has been escalating its attacks against Israel. Disturbingly, they’ve chosen to strike during the Jewish Sabbath 🕍 and significant holidays, times revered by the Jewish community.
Personal Impact:
Some of my family members in Israel are in the military; others may soon be called from the reserves. This situation is more than just headlines for me; it’s about the safety and well-being of my loved ones ❤️.
Relatable Experiences:
I recognize that many of you have faced violence in your home countries or encountered dangers during your journeys to the US. It’s a harrowing experience to worry about the safety of family and friends amidst such turmoil 🌀. I genuinely empathize with anyone in a similar situation 🤝.
Moving Forward:
1. Stay Informed: Understanding the ongoing situation and its broader implications is crucial .
2. Support & Solidarity: Let’s be there for each other, offering a listening ear or words of comfort .
3. Help When Possible: Consider contributing to humanitarian organizations assisting those affected by these conflicts .
While I hold deep concerns for my family in Israel, I also extend my thoughts and solidarity to each of you who has faced or continues to face challenges stemming from violence and unrest.
Warm regards,
Andres “Work in Progress Optimist” Mejer
