"I grew up in a time and a culture where speaking the truth was the most important thing you could do. If you see something that’s an atrocity, you had to speak up against it. It’s because I’m Jewish that I hold these values and care so much about refugees. ... Fortunately, someone introduced me to Anera. ... I knew I had found the right people because this wasn’t just a march down Pennsylvania Avenue. Anera prioritized hiring Palestinian staff, keeping their field offices in the Middle East local and staying tuned into life in refugee camps."
