Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Today, on the anniversary of his passing, we remember Elie Wiesel — not only for what he survived, but for what he taught us.

His words are a reminder: education isn’t just about facts. It’s about memory. It’s about understanding that we are part of something larger — and choosing to carry that forward.

We are the next generation of witnesses. And it’s our obligation to keep that memory alive.

Iran’s leaders have called for the elimination of Israel and the Jewish people. Genocidal hate is not history — it is happening now.

Edan Alexander is finally home after 584 days. While we rejoice, 58 hostages are still in captivity. We won’t stop speaking out.

Today marks the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.

We remember this day with deep respect—for those who fought, for those who survived, and for the millions who didn’t.

But remembrance isn’t just about looking back. Especially now.

With hate and extremism rising once again, remembering becomes a responsibility. To stay aware. To speak out. To refuse silence.

Because the past isn’t as far away as we like to think.
