I have been processing through alot. Especially in light of the Massacre of Hebrews in Baffalo NY. I had a conversation with a dear friend and described how I felt indifferent to the whole thing and felt almost like I had no emotion towards it. The reality is, that I had not had a chance to process through what has JUST HAPPENED.

Tonight, the magnitude of what took place hit me, and I was filled with grief. In my grief, in order to express myself, I created this video tribute/memorial to the victims and survivors of the Buffalo massacre.

I likely will be taking time off this week to process through what this past weekend really means for Israel. Are we going to act like this is normal or acceptable and continue with life as normal? This was a REAL HATE CRIME!!!

If you haven't had a chance to grieve or express yourself, I encourage you to find a healthy outlet to do so. Also, I encourage you all to leave a comment in this post as led to express yourself.

Western NY is where I was born and raised. We left last year for several reasons. This was and wasn’t a shock to me. When you know truth and accept who we are, scripture provides answers. I’ve been thinking more and more about focusing on my obedience and faith. We are VA right now but looking to move on from here. My husband and I have discussed that being closer to a Israelite community needs to be a priority. May Yah bless you all

Still processing this for myself but Abba, please strengthen our people. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed for Yahuah Tsebaoth is our hope and Mighty is He. His judgements are right and holy.

There but for the grace of Yah... I just realized it happened on the Shabbat. We are protected in keeping Yah's commands. Not buying or selling or trading on the Shabbat.

I understand your sentiments...Personally it has become hard to "feel" because of all that has happened these past few years...It is like "feel" overload...One thing after the next...Be sure to take time to pray and rest.

This means a lot to remember a senseless deletion of our people. Hate crimes against have been normalized whether we believe it or not. We can find articles in newspapers and magazines over a hundred years ago about the evil, hatred disgusting, murders, rapes, thief of our property and our culture and people. Enough is enough! We all suffer with PTSD and find it difficult to grieve because it happens so often. Our system goes into shock. I'm still trying to get over Philando Castle, and then just maybe I can grieve the countless lives lost to hatred.

I agree brother T a hate crime. The scripture comes to mind, John 15:17-207 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
