Israel’s Darkest Days
In the shadow of the Shoah, dark days for Israel and Jews worldwide
Following the worst atrocities perpetrated against Jews since the Holocaust, Israelis are stunned. Feeling locked into the worst ever horror movie unable to escape from, the proverbial pen provides a release to express one’s thoughts, anxieties, anger and concerns for the future. Lay of the Land publishes below the responses of writers to the nightmare that is Israel’s new reality.
Lay of the Land extends its deepest thoughts and prayers with the people of Israel murdered, brutally injured and kidnapped by the senseless and barbarous actions of Hamas terrorists. We pray for the complete recovery of our injured, safe return of those who have been taken hostage and for peace in the region and an end to the violence.

LotL endeavours to the best of its ability to credit the use of all known photographs to the photographer and/or owner of such photographs (0&EO).
